Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature a significantly revamped Gunsmith UI with a lot more vertical design that aims to be more informative. That's according to some newly leaked screenshots that are said to depict a Black Ops 6 development build.

Call of Duty 2024 details have been leaking online long before Activision officially announced the AAA shooter in late May. The most recent source of one such info dump is Twitter user BetterThanAlaix, whose online moniker appears to be a reference to long-time Call of Duty leaker HeyImAlaix. On August 3, BetterThanAlaix shared a wide variety of screenshots that they said originated from a development build of the Black Ops 6 PS4 version.

One set of these leaked images depicted a number of the game's menus, which appear to be slightly different from their Modern Warfare 3 counterparts. Specifically, Black Ops 6 streaks and loadout menus will seemingly be much more vertical compared to the 2023 game. The upcoming shooter's Gunsmith UI also lists attachments vertically rather than presenting them in a horizontal line, which results in a more helpful and information-dense interface.

While it's possible this leaked UI is merely a placeholder, Treyarch did previously suggest it's looking to make the game's interface more akin to menus from older Call of Duty: Black Ops entries. This helpful revamp would be consistent with that ambition, especially since the new Gunsmith UI appears to be reminiscent of the first and third Black Ops games.

The vast majority of BetterThanAlaix's images have been removed from Twitter less than an hour after going live due to a series of copyright infringement claims by Activision. The move adds to the leak's legitimacy, not least because the publisher likely wouldn't have bothered with cracking down on fake screenshots. That notwithstanding, the recently shared images do not perfectly match one widely promulgated Black Ops 6 leak from late May 2024, which indicated that the upcoming game might have a fairly similar UI to Modern Warfare 3. BetterThanAlaix's screenshots suggest that the previously leaked menu might have been a placeholder.

Aside from showcasing the new Gunsmith interface, the newly surfaced images also revealed the names of nine Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 maps, ranging from Babylon and Derelict to Gala and Skyline. That list is almost certainly incomplete, though there's also no guarantee that every single one of the name-dropped maps will actually be incorporated into the finished product. Black Ops 6 is scheduled to reach PC and the latest two PlayStation and Xbox console generations on October 25. More official information about the 2024 Call of Duty entry is expected to follow in the coming weeks.
