Unveiled: Black Ops 6 Zombies Power-Ups and Enhancements

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 experience. This breakdown details the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

A returning favorite from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk facilitating loot scavenging. Accessible via the Perk Machine in Citadelle des Morts and the Der Wunderfizz Machine in Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases the chance of slain Zombies dropping extra ammo and Essence. Augments further enhance its capabilities:

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: 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 destruction to player defense and healing. Light elemental damage is inflicted, with each shot having a chance to generate a healing glyph that moves towards injured allies. Augments offer customization:

Major Augments:

• Antibiotic: The healing glyph damages nearby enemies but has a shorter lifespan.
• 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 duration.
• Extra Strength: Increases health replenishment from glyph consumption.
• Express Remedy: Increases the glyph's travel range to allies.

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

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

Making a return from Black Ops Cold War, Tesla Storm summons electricity around the player, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. The effect chains to allies. Augments further refine its power:

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

The Tesla Storm Field Upgrade is unlocked via the Merry Mayhem Event.
