All Black Ops 6 Hardpoint rotations

Get ahead of the curve.

Hardpoint is one of the longest-running game modes in Call of Duty, and it’s no surprise to see it return for Black Ops 6. The mode remains relatively unchanged: A point will open for a team to capture, and after a while, a new point pops up.

What does change are the maps, with Black Ops 6 seeing remasters of old Treyarch CoD maps as well as new additions to the pool. It’s important to know ahead of time where the next hardpoint will be in the mode on the new maps—which we’re covering below!

Here are the Hardpoint rotations for each map in Black Ops 6.

Map additions and changelog

This article includes maps playable in the Black Ops 6 early access beta. We’ll throw in the next maps when the open beta begins on Sept. 6.

How to play Hardpoint in Black Ops 6

In case you’re new to CoD‘s Hardpoint or need a refresher, the game mode sees teams battle to hold control of an objective known as a hardpoint. You capture the objective by standing in its designated zone, scoring a point for each second stood in the hardpoint.

After 45 seconds, the hardpoint moves to a different location, meaning you’ll need to get moving if you want to reach the next zone and score. Once a team scores 250 points, they win. It’s highly recommended to bring objective-based equipment such as a Trophy System to the hardpoint as you’ll need to hunker down and defend.

This article will be updated when new maps are added to Black Ops 6.
