Activision has fixed a major Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 problem by restoring account progress and saves, particularly for Multiplayer and Zombies gamers. Since the first major Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update, some Zombies fans have reported progression resets, but this should now be resolved.
Like many past Call of Duty titles, Black Ops 6 offers three central gameplay modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies. While Zombies is typically separate from the other two modes, Black Ops 6's Campaign includes Zombies sections that may entice players to try the survival game mode. Since the game's launch, many Zombies fans have completed Easter eggs and found methods to progress through Black Ops 6's Camo challenges more easily. Some gamers have encountered issues with their Multiplayer and Zombies progress being reset since the first update. Call of Duty has confirmed that these issues should now be resolved.

The Call of Duty Twitter account recently notified its community about a fix regarding Black Ops 6 Zombies and Multiplayer data. According to the announcement, Multiplayer and Zombies account data should be restored following an issue associated with the game's first major update. This involves Medals that players receive in Multiplayer and Zombies, and Intel gathered from the latter. Call of Duty has confirmed that solo save data, Medal, and Intel progress should all be restored as of now, and that players should contact Activision Support if they continue to encounter the problem. It appears that Activision has restored the data using backups and that accounts will receive the missing data when players log in.

Based on the patch notes included with the tweet, it seems like some players were affected by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update 1, and others were impacted by update 2. According to Call of Duty, the resolved issue ensures that Weapon Camo, Emblem, and Calling Card progression weren't hindered by the temporarily missing data. One thing that hasn't been restored is character customization and loadouts that players may have made during the narrow timeframe, with Call of Duty encouraging affected players to recreate and select the changes they may have made in the interim.

Because Call of Duty identified a difference between players who logged in during updates 1 and 2, there may have been code introduced in these patches that interfered with these challenges and medals. As Treyarch continues to update Black Ops 6, any remaining issues may be resolved in a future patch.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
