Black Ops 6 Zombies: Perks, Mods, and Upgrades Revealed

The Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded update delivers a significant boost for Zombies enthusiasts. While the new map, Citadelle des Morts, takes center stage, several exciting additions enhance the gameplay. This breakdown details the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Making a comeback from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk facilitating loot scavenging. Accessible via the new Perk Machine in Citadelle des Morts, and the Der Wunderfizz Machine in Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases the chance of downed Zombies dropping extra ammo and Essence. Its functionality is further enhanced through Augments:

Major Augments:

• Fetid Upgr-aid: Fallen Zombies may release a gas cloud charging Field Upgrades.
• Smell of Death: Fallen Zombies may release a concealing gas cloud.
• Parting Gift: Vulture Aid ammo drops provide increased ammo for Wonder Weapons.

Minor Augments:

• Condor’s Reach: Expands the auto-pickup loot radius.
• Carrion Luggage: Critical kills have a higher chance of yielding extra Salvage.
• Picky Eater: Increases the likelihood of dropped loot matching your current equipment.

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments

Light Mend, a brand-new Ammo Mod introduced alongside Citadelle des Morts (and available on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps), prioritizes player defense and healing. Its Light elemental damage bullets can transform enemy health into healing glyphs for nearby allies. Augments further refine its capabilities:

Major Augments:

• Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage nearby enemies but have reduced duration.
• Big Game: Enables healing glyph generation from Elite enemies (yielding three additional glyphs).
• Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily accelerates healing.

Minor Augments:

• Longer Life: Extends the healing glyph's lifespan.
• Extra Strength: Increases health replenishment from glyph consumption.
• Express Remedy: Increases the range at which glyphs reach allies.

The Light Mend Ammo Mod is unlocked through the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

Returning from Black Ops Cold War, the Tesla Storm Field Upgrade summons electricity, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. Its effectiveness is amplified by Augments:

Major Augments:

• Transformer: Damage increases proportionally to the number of connected allies.
• Shockwave: Upon activation, stuns and damages all nearby enemies.
• Static Discharge: Creates a lethal electrical surge upon activation.

Minor Augments:

• Power Grid: Increases the range of electrical tethering to allies.
• Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while Tesla Storm is active.
• Lithium Charged: Increases Tesla Storm duration.

The Tesla Storm Field Upgrade is also unlocked via the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.
