Black Ops 6 shotguns have heat-seeking slugs that never miss

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of game-breaking bugs, but none quite like this one in Black Ops 6. It’s like someone handed me a golden ticket to the Willy Wonka factory of weaponry! The heat-seeking slug shotgun is an absolute game-changer, turning even the greenest of noobs into John Wick reincarnates.


In the popular game Black Ops 6, developers have found an issue (a bug) that significantly alters gameplay. This bug causes the shotguns to possess homing bullets (heat-seeking slugs), which always hit their target if players stay within a particular range.

Shotguns loaded with slug rounds possess an unexpected additional power. Upon being discharged casually, they automatically target any adversary within a range of 12 meters that is in the crosshair.

1) The Marine Slug’s strength lies in its ability to instantly eliminate any target with a single body shot, thanks to the oversized reticle. This feature, coupled with its effectiveness even during movement like sliding and diving, is clearly demonstrated in this bug video. Consequently, slug shotguns stand out as the most powerful close-range weapons in the game, leaving little room for debate.

Typically, bullets from a slug gun in Call of Duty games are designed to be unpredictable yet dangerous, as shooting in the same spot twice doesn’t guarantee identical outcomes because of the scatter of each bullet.

Funnily enough, if you hipfire at a wall and look at where the rounds are landing, this is still the case. However, once a player gets involved, all randomness is removed, and shots lock-on and automatically target enemies.

Here’s the Marine SP loadout you’ll want to use to make the most out of this bug while it lasts:

  • Muzzle: Suppressor
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Stock: Combat Stock
  • Laser: Target Laser
  • Fire Mods: 12 Gauge Slug

This issue bears some resemblance to the hip-firing “Proteus” weapon from Infinite Warfare; when initially launched, it boasted pinpoint precision and seemed almost like an aimbot when used without aiming directly.

Unlike the Proteus, this time you’ll need to do some actual aiming yourself. To be clear, merely pointing your crosshair in the general direction of an enemy doesn’t count as precise aiming. However, even beginners can make good use of this glitch before it gets fixed, making it easy for players of all skill levels to excel.

As word is spreading throughout the community, it’s just a question of when Treyarch addresses the issue. For now, though, join the Face Off Moshpit mode, where smaller maps give you plenty of opportunities to cause chaos and overpower your opponents.
