In Prop Hunt, one team plays as Props while the other plays as Hunters. You’ll be randomly placed into any of the teams at first. If you are a prop, you will have one task: to hide and blend into the environment. You’ll be given a small amount of time to hide and blend with the environment as a prop. 

You will also be able to move around freely during the match. And after every 30 seconds, you will be able to whistle uncontrollably. The key is to be smart and efficient with your hiding spots so that you blend into the scenery perfectly and not alert the hunters.

There are also a lot of advantages to being a prop. You will be able to drop decoys to fool the hunters as well as change your shape to a different scenery. And if you’re about to get caught, you can throw a stun grenade to distract the Hunters.

As a Hunter, you have a much simpler task: you’ll have to search for anything that looks out of the ordinary or whistles sometimes. If it looks suspicious, then shooting at it is the best choice.

Black Ops 6 Prop Hunt release date
