The classic Black Ops 1 map, Firing Range, originally launched in 2010, is making a triumphant return in BO6, cementing its status as one of the best maps in the game by default.
“Firing Range is back in Black Ops 6 with a faithful remaster,” stated Activision. “Operators will battle for control of central vantage points while watching for crossfire down the long center road.

2. Barrage
- Map Type: Core
- Map Size: Medium
- Player Count: 6v6
- Available: Season 3 Launch
Set during the Vietnam War in 1968, Barrage is crafted as a classic three-lane map where players can “follow Hudson’s clues” throughout intense combat.
“The area is designed around an artillery base that has suffered damage, with new pathways through damaged buildings,” shared Activision. “Players must navigate the changing terrain, using strategies to overcome obstacles while advancing towards victory.”
3. Nomad
- Map Type: Strike
- Map Size: Small
- Player Count: 2v2 or 6v6

Transporting players to 1986 Afghanistan, Nomad offers fierce battles in a fortified settlement where Woods experienced many Cold War encounters.
“Players can engage in strategic skirmishes around a missile carrier overlooking a valley and outmaneuver opponents through crumbled archways,” noted Activision. “Control of the central tower is critical, and a zipline leads to rapid engagement opportunities, promising fast-paced conflicts.”
4. Haven
- Map Type: Core
- Map Size: Medium
- Player Count: 6v6
- Available: Mid-Season
Haven is set in 1991 and envelops players in a decaying KGB safehouse filled with backstories and strategies for multiplayer encounters.
“A shattered crystal chandelier and connected generators bring life to a command center that spreads throughout the estate,” commented Activision. “Players can experience both indoor and outdoor firefights, using the diverse estate layout to their advantage.”
5. Signal

- Map Size: Small
- Player Count: 2v2 or 6v6

“The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?!” This nostalgic map revisits the Numbers Station from BO1, providing thrilling updates for Strike or Gunfight play.
“The control room of an ocean rig numbers station is filled with flashing lights and alarms. Operators will face their foes from opposing submarine bays, ready to take on high-stakes firefights,” explained Activision. “Strategic pathways allow for flanking opportunities, encouraging creative gameplay.”
