As a seasoned Black Ops 6 gamer with countless hours spent in virtual battlefields, I can confidently say that Sleeper Agent is indeed a formidable tool, but not invincible. Over the years, I’ve seen many strategies come and go, some more effective than others.


In Black Ops 6, Sleeper Agent stands out as the top Field Upgrade, yet it can become quite bothersome due to its special ability. However, here are some straightforward tactics to mitigate its impact:

Before BO6 even launched, Community members labeled Sleeper Agent as the “dumbest idea ever” after reading its description. The Field Upgrade allows you to temporarily appear as an ally to the enemy team with a blue name tag.

This skill lasts for just 30 seconds and recharges slowly, so you’ll probably be able to use it just one or two times during a Multiplayer game. However, if you manage to eliminate an opponent, the timer gets extended by three seconds. In other words, players who prefer aggressive play can keep using this skill for as long as they rack up enough kills.

Fortunately, Treyarch anticipated the popularity of this Field Upgrade and deliberately created a Perk specifically to balance it out.

In Black Ops 6, the Vigilance Perk is extremely effective against the Sleeper Agent ability since it offers immunity to its Field Upgrade. When you have this perk activated, enemies who use Sleeper Agent will appear as they normally do with a red tag above their heads, making them easier to spot and target.

Apart from these obvious signs, there are a few more indicators that reveal when a hidden adversary has infiltrated your group. When an enemy’s Sleeper Agent becomes active, a notification confirms the presence of a traitor among you.

As I’m battling it out in a game, when I see a black box over a name on the kill feed, I know someone has just used their Field Upgrade. On the other hand, if I’ve got the Tracker Perk equipped, I can hear the subtle steps of a Sleeper Agent and unmask them, revealing their true identity to me.

If the adversary doesn’t have the Ghost Perk or a silencer equipped, they’ll show up as a red marker on your minimap, regardless of whether their Field Upgrade is in use.

These countermeasures ought to be sufficient to deter the unwanted visitor, yet we anticipate they’ll continue to cause trouble.

In comparison to other Field Upgrade options, Trophy Systems tend to be favored in objective-based games due to their ability to prevent excessive grenade use. On the other hand, Acoustic Amp is another suitable choice, enhancing the audio of enemy footsteps for better awareness.
