The latest Black Ops 6 patch introduced weapon balance adjustments but has failed to resolve a bug that is making the equipped optic disappear for some players when accessing Gunsmith. This issue has been acknowledged by the developers and they even mentioned that they were investigating it in their latest patch.

This issue gained even more attention after Redditor u/MissCleo131 reported encountering it after the recent update went live. In this article, we’ll delve into the details of this Optic disappearance issue in Black Ops 6.


Players are experiencing an issue where the optic attachment disappears when accessing Gunsmith in Black Ops 6

Since the latest patch, players have been experiencing a bug where the optic attachment they’ve equipped disappears upon entering the Gunsmith. While the developers mentioned that they were investigating the issue, some players claimed it began after the recent update.

In a Reddit post, u/MissCleo131 explained that whenever they customized their loadout with an optic attachment, it would disappear as soon as they accessed the Gunsmith. The problem persisted despite multiple attempts to restart the game.

While this isn’t a game-breaking bug, it’s certainly frustrating for players who access the Gunsmith frequently before matches. The need to double-check that the chosen optic is equipped adds unnecessary hassle, especially for those who make quick adjustments to other attachments. If they forget to verify the optic attachment, they may find themselves without it in-game.

u/MissCleo131's original Reddit post reads:

Has anyone else noticed that their optic disappears every time you open gunsmith? I select it, go back into gunsmith to edit again and deselects, repeat. I’ve closed and reopened the whole game twice now with no changes in results. It’s annoying that every time I go into gunsmith it deselects my optic and I have to re-select my optic and reticle. Anyone having this issue? Any fixes?

Many users agreed with this post, but unfortunately, those experiencing this issue have no temporary solutions or fixes. There are no workarounds either since the bug is on the developers' end.

Users affected by this problem must be more careful when accessing the Gunsmith multiple times before entering a match. However, since the developers have acknowledged the issue, a fix will likely be implemented soon.
