Black Ops 6 Update 1.73 Out for Minor Patch That Greed Wildcard, Zombies Adjustments

[summaraize]

Treyarch has issued a minor patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on consoles and PC, and this should show up as version 1.73. There are fixes for the game’s UI, events and more.

The main thing fixed for multiplayer is for the Perk Greed Wildcard that prevented players from changing the perk selected. Given we just got the big Season 3 Reloaded patch two weeks ago, it’s unsurprising that this is a minor update that doesn’t house any new content.
