New Black Ops 6 Zombie Enhancements Revealed

The Call of Duty: 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 key additions enhance gameplay. Let's explore the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Returning from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk enabling enhanced looting. Accessible via the Perk Machine in Citadelle des Morts and the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases the chance of slain Zombies dropping ammo and Essence. Augments further customize its functionality:

Major Augments:

• Fetid Upgr-aid: Fallen Zombies may drop gas clouds charging Field Upgrades.
• Smell of Death: Fallen Zombies may drop concealing gas clouds.
• Parting Gift: Ammo drops provide increased Wonder Weapon ammunition.

Minor Augments:

• Condor’s Reach: Expands auto-loot pickup range.
• Carrion Luggage: Critical kills have a higher chance of yielding extra Salvage.
• Picky Eater: Increases the likelihood of dropping your currently equipped items.

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments

Light Mend, a brand-new Ammo Mod debuting alongside Citadelle des Morts (and available on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps), shifts the focus from zombie damage to player defense and healing. Light elemental damage inflicted by bullets creates healing glyphs that travel to injured allies. Augments offer further customization:

Major Augments:

• Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage nearby enemies but have a shorter 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: Increases the healing glyph's lifespan.
• Extra Strength: Increases health replenishment from glyph consumption.
• Express Remedy: Extends the glyph's travel range to allies.

Light Mend is unlocked via the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

A returning feature from Black Ops Cold War, Tesla Storm summons lightning, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. The effect connects to allies, enhancing its impact. Augments allow for further refinement:

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 the electrical tether connecting allies.
• Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while Tesla Storm is active.
• Lithium Charged: Increases Tesla Storm's duration.

Tesla Storm is also unlocked through the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.
