CoD: 'Red Light, Green Light' Gameplay Guide

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's thrilling new game mode, Red Light, Green Light, brings the suspense of Netflix's Squid Game to life. Players compete to be the last one standing in Young-hee's deadly game. This mode perfectly captures the show's intense pressure and lethal consequences for rule-breakers.

How to Play Red Light, Green Light in BO6

To join the action, select the "Red Light, Green Light" playlist from the main menu. The objective is simple: survive each wave by reaching the opposite end of the playing field. The key is timing: stop instantly when Young-hee stops singing and turns, and only move when she sings with her back to you.

Early rounds are relatively straightforward, but later rounds introduce blue squares. Collecting these squares gives you a knife, allowing you to eliminate opponents. This adds a layer of strategic combat to the already tense gameplay. You'll also find golden piggy banks scattered across the field, awarding extra XP for event rewards.

Tips and Tricks for Red Light, Green Light Mastery

Surviving Young-hee's scrutiny requires absolute stillness when she's looking. If using a controller, check for stick drift (unintended movement from the joystick) and disable your microphone, as the game detects sound as movement.

To adjust controller dead zones (the area where stick movement is ignored), go to Black Ops 6's controller settings, locate the Dead Zone section, and use the test feature to calibrate. Ideal dead zone values usually fall between 5 and 10, or higher depending on your controller.

Patience is paramount. Don't rush. Wait until Young-hee's back is turned before moving. Verify your stillness using the on-screen indicator. While the temptation to push your progress is strong, rushing often leads to accidental movement and elimination.

Success in Black Ops 6's Red Light, Green Light relies on precise timing and preparation. Make sure your controller is working perfectly, your microphone is off, and avoid predictable straight-line runs to prevent knife attacks from opponents. With these strategies, you'll be well-prepared to conquer this Squid Game-inspired challenge.
