Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is going down pretty well with fans, despite mixed reviews on Steam over bugs, with the game's new Zombies mode proving to be a real highlight for many fans. We've already seen tons of people dive in to try and uncover secrets, solving the Liberty Falls easter egg almost instantly, while finding other fun little surprises like God Mode and superpowers.

There's a lot of fun to be had with the mode, but there is one thing right now that fans hate more than anything else, and it's ruining a fun experience for a lot of people - AFK timers. That might sound pretty silly to those of you who haven;t actually played Black Ops 6's Zombie mode, but fans have been calling for Activision to remove the timers that they deem are unnecessarily harsh right now.

Kicked for inactivity while literally moving around solving an easter egg step

One such player is Reddit user DiegoMm, who shared a clip of the AFK timer being absolutely baffling on the CODZombies subreddit. In DiegoMm's clip (which you can find embedded above), it appears as though they're kicked for inactivity despite moving around while trying to solve one of the steps for the Liberty Falls easter egg. They can be seen walking between two whiteboards, before then checking the leaderboards, only to be suddenly booted out for what the game calls "inactivity".

After loading back in, DiegoMm claims they had their entire loadout taken away and replaced with their starting loadout, along with just 3,000 points and no salvage, pretty much destroying all the progress that they made. They're not the only player to have issues with this timer either, as another fan called SangerD more angrily expresses their frustration with the timer in a separate post on the subreddit.

They rather frustratedly claim that Activision needs to "make the game playable offline or remove the greed timer", claiming that fans playing solo should be able to "pause their game for as long as they want to" since they paid a premium for the game in the first place. In that same thread, many are calling for Activision to bring back offline mode, and let players play through the Zombies campaign more easily.

Hopefully, Activision will actually do something about these timers, as they're pretty much the only thing that fans have issues with at the moment. While it seems unlikely Activision will actually put the effort in and create an offline mode for Zombies, it ould at the very least either scrap or extend the timers to make them actually function properly. While we don't know if this is in the game's plans, the developer is more likely to address it if complaints keep piling up.
