Activision clears the air on Black Ops 6 hiding player level icons

Activision has addressed the players’ complaints that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was hiding the levels of users who weren’t in their party in season 4.

This sparked speculation over whether the change was intentional—possibly to prevent players from quitting lobbies when facing higher-ranked opponents—or simply a bug.

Activision has responded to the concerns by making a statement on social media.

“We’re investigating a bug where Player Levels and Level Icons may not appear for matchmade players in the Lobby list,” the post reads, alongside a link to the game’s Trello board.

On the Trello board, a follow-up message thanks the players for reporting the issue and confirms that the team is “actively investigating.”

This level display issue is one of several being tracked in season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Other known problems include incorrect platform icons, placeholder graphics in loadout menus, and AI enemies—like manglers—getting stuck walking into walls after spawning.
