Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. Even though the players have had lots and lots of complaints since the launch of this game, we didn’t expect they’d ask for something that gave them an advantage to be removed. However, some Black Ops 6 players insist that Recon is just too much and should be removed from the game.
What Is the Problem With the Recon Combat Specialty?
Now for those of you who are still getting a hang of things, let’s break it down. You get to choose a total of 3 Perks out of 3 Combat Specialties (Enforcer, Recon, Strategist). If you choose all 3 Perks from the same category, you get a bonus Perk, a Combat Specialty Bonus.
Now, all three of the bonus Perks are good, however, the Recon Combat Specialty is overpowered, according to some players. The Recon Combat Specialty official description reads: “Enemies can be seen through walls for a short time after respawn; a HUD edge indicator flashes when an enemy is outside your view; leave no death skulls when eliminating enemies”.
One player, DrAdBrule, explained why Black Ops 6 would be better off without the Recon Combat Specialty. This player noted: “I don’t think any rework / rebalance efforts could make up for how game-breaking this perk is. I’ve got it running even on classes where I’d much rather focus on speed or score. It’s such a massive disadvantage to play without it. The only way to fix this is to remove it and find another cool perk to take its place”.
Black Ops 6 Players Share Their Stance on Recon
Many players chirped in, and surprisingly enough, the majority were for the replacement of this Combat Specialty. Of course, as always, the players had different reasons, but they managed to come to a common conclusion which was to ask for the removal of Recon.
One player noted: “I run Recon because I run Ghost and Cold-Blooded, but I could do without seeing the enemies. It’s a stupid idea, just like it was in xDefiant. I like the high alert it gives, but get rid of the seeing players’ positions”.
Other players suggested some tweaks that would improve this Perk. ZanziBreeze suggested: “They should change it so it just snapshots the enemy’s position. That way it gives an idea of where someone might be instead of being literal wallhacks. But having wallhack abilities in an FPS game is always a recipe for disaster, you’ll never be able to balance such a thing properly”.
Finally, one helpful player, ballsmigue, reminded the community that there was a simple way to avoid being seen. This player said: “It just needs Cold-Blooded or Ghost to counter it”. Sure enough, both of these Perks will make you undetectable. So, if you are having a hard time with being spotted upon respawn, try these Perks out.
We prefer the idea of just slightly changing the Recon Combat Specialty, rather than it being completely removed. The devs are probably aware of this issue, and obviously willing to work on improving the game. So, let’s be patient, and give them time to cook. Until they come up with a solution, you can always use Cold-Blooded or Ghost. Enjoy the game.
