What is the Black Ops 6 Squid Game event? Anyone who has watched Netflix’s Squid Game knows just how brutal being a contestant is on that particular game show. People volunteer to take part in various activities, competing against each other and whoever is in charge for a huge prize. The downside, sadly, is that failure often spells death.
We have been treated to plenty of new Black Ops 6 events during the festive season, with the developers most recently turning their gaze towards Squid Game. Below we’ve got the full rundown of the Black Ops 6 crossover, what it involves, and all the cosmetic goodies you can unlock for your Black Ops 6 weapons and more.
