Gunfight was featured Code with the years 2019 Modern warfarewhich itself marked a major shift in the movement and pace of the franchise's popular multiplayer modes. Far from the breakneck chaos of standard 6v6 gameplay, Gunfight sees two two-player teams pitted against each other in a series of perma-death rounds. With no health regeneration and each team receiving the same alternating loadouts of weapons and equipment, Gunfight requires a level of strategy and teamwork that cannot be found in many other Call of duty ways.

While Gunfight tournaments were first introduced in 2019 Modern warfare, The Cold War is the only other title to feature them, setting a standard for the sub-franchise that Black Ops 6 must continue. Winning players would progress through a total of four games throughout a given tournament, with different placements offering a variety of rewards such as business cards, emblems, and even weapon models.
