New CoD Gamemode: 'Red Light, Green Light' Gameplay Guide

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's thrilling new game mode, Red Light, Green Light, a collaboration with Netflix's hit series Squid Game, puts players in a high-stakes battle for survival within Young-hee's deadly game. This mode perfectly captures the series' intense tension and lethal consequences for those who break the rules.

This guide will walk you through the gameplay and offer tips to help you dominate your opponents.

Playing Red Light, Green Light in BO6

To begin, select the "Red Light, Green Light" playlist from the main menu. The objective is simple: survive each wave by reaching the opposite side of the playing field. The key is timing. Freeze completely when Young-hee stops singing and turns; only move when she sings and has her back turned.

Early rounds are relatively straightforward. However, later rounds introduce blue squares. Collecting these grants you a knife, adding a layer of strategic combat to eliminate rivals. Golden piggy banks also appear, offering bonus XP for efficient event reward unlocking.

Tips and Tricks for Red Light, Green Light Mastery

Surviving Young-hee's scrutiny requires absolute stillness. Controller stick drift can be a significant problem; adjust your controller's dead zone settings (found in Black Ops 6's controller options) to minimize unintended movement. Aim for a dead zone value between 5 and 10 (or higher, depending on your controller). Remember to mute your microphone, as any detected sound can trigger elimination.

Patience is paramount. Don't push your luck by rushing. Verify your stillness using the on-screen indicator before Young-hee turns. While maximizing movement during the singing phase is tempting, it's risky. Controlled movement is key to survival.

Finally, avoid predictable straight-line movement, making you vulnerable to knife attacks. Proper controller calibration, muted microphones, and strategic movement are the keys to victory in this intense Squid Game inspired challenge.
