If you’re eager to dive into the fan-favorite Stakeout 24/7 playlist in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, mark your calendars for November 27. That’s when Treyarch is bringing it back alongside a double XP event and the ever-entertaining Prop Hunt.
Expect the update to roll out by 1 p.m. Eastern (6 p.m. GMT), though it’s worth noting that lately, updates have occasionally landed early. Either way, you shouldn’t have to wait much longer than that to jump back into the action.
Between Stakeout’s chaotic gameplay and Carnage mode, this return is sure to stir excitement. The map’s tiny, bustling environment has definitely been polarizing, drawing both love and hate from players. Even I initially struggled with it, though I must admit it eventually grew on me after a few more rounds.
Stakeout’s blend of relentless pace and non-stop action is what makes it so thrilling—and let’s be real, it’s addictively intense. The enclosed nature of the map means there’s rarely a moment to catch your breath, so staying on your toes is essential.
When Treyarch previously removed the Stakeout 24/7 playlist, there was an understandable outcry from the community. Fortunately, the developers have been attentive to players’ desires. So, with the upcoming 2XP event and a host of game modes, Stakeout is making its much-anticipated comeback on November 27. Playlist updates are slated for around 1 p.m. Eastern (6 p.m. GMT), but as we’ve seen recently, they can drop a bit earlier.
As you jump into Stakeout, you’ll get to enjoy a mix of game modes, including Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Kill Order, and Domination.
For those who are determined to conquer camo challenges, Stakeout is perfect. Its compact map design and brief match times make it an ideal spot for camo grinding. If you’re aiming to unlock gold and beyond, this map is your playground for snagging those elusive rewards.
Take, for instance, the gold camo challenges that require 10 double kills per weapon. It’s noticeably easier to achieve on Stakeout due to its fast-paced action. Even advancing to diamond, which demands three kills without dying across ten encounters, becomes feasible once you get the hang of the map’s layout.
For players like me who have been procrastinating on tackling those camo challenges, Stakeout offers the perfect opportunity. So, come the next playlist event, you’ll find me knee-deep in Stakeout, chipping away at those objectives.
