Everything you need to know about Pentathlon in Black Op 6

The Pentathlon in Black Ops 6 features a multiplayer playlist with several game modes. This LTM playlist includes classic modes like Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hard Point, as well as two Squid Game-themed modes — Roulette and Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch. Here is a detailed explanation of the new Squid Game game mode variants:

Roulette is a new mode in Pentathlon in Black Ops 6. It introduces a Roulette Handgun that spawns in the middle of the game. Players have to grab the weapon and eliminate the opponents. Wielding the Roulette Handgun will give gamers a permanent UAV and the ability to one-shot enemies.

This will allow the wielder to score additional points by getting kills and also let them unlock scorestreaks quicker. However, the weapon comes with a catch — the player who has the handgun will be marked on the mini-map for other players to see. It should be noted that the Roulette Handgun has a random chance of exploding when used, which would result in the player's elimination.

Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch

Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch is another Squid Game-themed mode from Pentathlon in Black Op 6. In this mode, players experience a classic twist on TDM, where eliminated opponents have a chance to drop a Piggy Bank. Picking up this reward boosts their score with a small bonus.

Players must be cautious of the Mega Piggy Bank, which can appear in the middle of the game. Once it drops, securing it becomes a top priority, as each elimination that occurs while it's present will increase its score, giving players a chance to accumulate all the deposited points.
