The Black Ops 6 Zombies community has been eagerly awaiting new content, and Season 3 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet. Recent leaks confirm that the beloved Double Tap perk is returning but with a brand-new icon and multiple augments that could change the way it functions.

Alongside Double Tap’s return, leaks also hint at a new Zombies map called Mansion, which will be smaller in scale, similar to Liberty Falls. With Season 3 launching in just 19 days, here’s everything we know about the upcoming update and what it means for Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Double Tap is Back in Black Ops 6 Zombies

One of the most exciting leaks from Black Ops 6 Season 3 is the return of Double Tap, a fan-favorite perk that first appeared in Call Of Duty: World at War. Over the years, Double Tap 2.0 became one of the most essential perks in the Zombies mode, increasing both fire rate and bullet damage.

However, this time, Double Tap is coming back with major changes, including:

A brand-new icon featuring two pistols instead of the classic beer mug design.
A new orange-brown color scheme replacing the traditional yellow and brown.
Six unique augments that could significantly alter its effects.

Many longtime Zombies players are disappointed by the icon change, arguing that the original design had become a staple of the mode. While the core perk’s effects remain unknown, the addition of augments suggests that Double Tap may have customizable upgrades, making it different from previous versions.

One of the biggest surprises from the leak is the introduction of Double Tap augments, which could change how the perk functions. While exact descriptions have not yet been revealed, here are the six leaked augments:

Double Impact
Double Jeopardy
Double Standard
Double Play
Double or Nothing
Double Time

Each of these augments likely offers a unique variation of the Double Tap perk. Some might focus on increasing bullet damage, while others could add unique weapon effects, faster reload speeds, or even ammo conservation mechanics.

The addition of augments could completely redefine how perks work in Zombies, giving players more customization options and new strategies to experiment with.

Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 3 – What to Expect?

While Double Tap’s return is the highlight of Season 3, Treyarch is also introducing a brand-new Zombies map: Mansion.

Mansion – A New, Compact Survival Map

Leaks suggest that Mansion will be a smaller-scale Zombies experience, similar to:

Liberty Falls (BO6)
The Tomb (BO6)
Town (Black Ops 2)

Smaller maps typically create faster-paced gameplay, with more intense close-quarters combat. However, some fans worry that Treyarch is putting less effort into post-launch Zombies maps, leading to growing frustration within the Zombies community.

Unlike larger maps like Terminus or Forsaken, which feature expansive areas, quests, and boss fights, smaller maps tend to offer limited exploration and fewer Easter eggs.

Is Treyarch Losing the Zombies Community?

Many players feel that Black Ops 6 Zombies hasn’t lived up to its full potential. When the game first launched, there were hints that Richtofen and classic Zombies lore would play a bigger role in the story. However, since launch, there has been little narrative progression, leaving many fans feeling misled.

With rumors that Black Ops 7 will bring back Primis (the original Zombies crew), some believe that Black Ops 6 was simply a stepping stone for the next game, rather than a fully realized Zombies experience.

Will Double Tap’s Return Bring Back Excitement?

Despite concerns about Black Ops 6 Zombies, the return of Double Tap is a huge win for longtime players. Many have been asking for this perk since the game launched, and it remains one of the most popular perks in Call of Duty history.

If the new augments add fresh ways to customize the perk, it could make Black Ops 6 Zombies more dynamic and replayable, keeping players engaged as we move into Season 4 and beyond.

What’s Next for Black Ops 6 Zombies?

With Season 3 launching in just under three weeks, the return of Double Tap, the introduction of augments, and the new Mansion map will determine whether Treyarch can bring back excitement to the Zombies community.
