Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 01 Reloaded: New Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade
The Call of Duty Zombies scene gets a major boost with Black Ops 6's Season 01 Reloaded update. While the new map, Citadelle des Morts, is the headliner, several exciting additions enhance the gameplay. Let's explore the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.
Vulture Aid Perk and Augments
Making a comeback from Black Ops 2's Buried, Vulture Aid is a scavenging utility perk. Found in Citadelle des Morts's Perk Machine, and the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases loot drops from slain zombies. Expect more ammo and Essence. Augments further enhance its capabilities:
Major Augments:
- Fetid Upgr-aid: Fallen zombies release a gas cloud charging Field Upgrades.
- Smell of Death: A cloaking gas cloud emanates from defeated zombies.
- Parting Gift: Wonder Weapon ammo drops are significantly boosted.
Minor Augments:
- Condor’s Reach: Increases the auto-pickup range for loot.
- Carrion Luggage: Critical hits yield extra Salvage.
- Picky Eater: Increases the chance of dropping your currently equipped gear.
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 from bullets converts enemy health into healing glyphs for nearby injured allies. Augments offer customization:
Major Augments:
- Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage enemies on contact, but have reduced duration.
- Big Game: Activates on Elite enemies, dropping three extra healing glyphs.
- Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily accelerates healing.
Minor Augments:
- Longer Life: Increases the healing glyph's lifespan.
- Extra Strength: Glyphs restore more health upon consumption.
- Express Remedy: Extends the glyph's travel range to allies.
Light Mend is unlocked via the Merry Mayhem Event.
Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments
Returning 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 allow for strategic enhancements:
Major Augments:
- Transformer: Damage increases with the number of connected allies.
- Shockwave: Initial activation stuns and damages all nearby enemies.
- Static Discharge: Creates a lethal electrical surge upon activation.
Minor Augments:
- Power Grid: Increases the electric tether's range to allies.
- Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while Tesla Storm is active.
- Lithium Charged: Extends Tesla Storm's duration.
Tesla Storm is also unlocked through the Merry Mayhem Event.
