Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded: New Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades for Zombies

The Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded update delivers a significant boost for Zombies fans, headlined by the new Citadelle des Morts map. But that's not all! Several new items are also included, enhancing the gameplay experience. Let's explore the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Vulture Aid Perk Can in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Making a comeback from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk that aids players in scavenging. Find it in Citadelle des Morts's Perk Machine, or the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls. This perk increases the loot dropped by slain zombies, potentially yielding extra ammo and Essence. Upgrade it further with Augments:

Major Augments:

  • Fetid Upgr-aid: Adds a chance for gas clouds to spawn from killed zombies, charging field upgrades.
  • Smell of Death: Killed zombies have a chance to drop a concealing gas cloud.
  • Parting Gift: Wonder Weapon ammo drops are boosted.

Minor Augments:

  • Condor’s Reach: Increases auto-pickup loot range.
  • Carrion Luggage: Critical kills yield more Salvage.
  • Picky Eater: Increases the chance 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 is dealt, and bullets have a chance to convert enemy health into healing glyphs for nearby allies. Augments enhance its capabilities:

Major Augments:

  • Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage enemies on contact, but their duration is reduced.
  • Big Game: Enables healing glyph generation from Elite enemies (three extra glyphs).
  • Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily boosts healing speed.

Minor Augments:

  • Longer Life: Increases healing glyph lifespan.
  • Extra Strength: Healing glyphs restore more health.
  • Express Remedy: Increases the glyph's range to reach allies.

Unlock Light Mend via the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

Returning from Black Ops Cold War, Tesla Storm is a Field Upgrade that 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 with the number of connected allies.
  • Shockwave: On 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 to allies.
