If maintenance is ongoing, the Hueneme Negev error is likely due to that. In such cases, there’s no need for additional troubleshooting—simply wait for the maintenance to conclude, and the issue should resolve itself.

It’s also a good idea to check Call of Duty’s official social media channels, where developers frequently share important updates, including server statuses and any known issues impacting access to BO6 and Warzone.

Here’s a list of helpful pages to monitor:

If the servers are functioning properly and there have been no updates from CoD’s social media channels, proceed with the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Restart Call of Duty HQ and platform

Start by completely closing the game, then restart your gaming platform—whether it’s Steam or Battle.net on PC, or your Xbox or PlayStation console.

After the platform has fully rebooted, relaunch the game to see if the issue has been resolved.

2. Restart your device and router

If restarting the game and platform doesn’t resolve the Hueneme Negev error, the next step is to reboot your PC, Xbox, or PlayStation console. This helps clear any lingering system glitches that could be causing the problem.

If your device is working correctly, the issue may be related to your network. Connectivity problems often lead to network issues like the Hueneme Negev error. Resetting your router can frequently address such issues.
