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 the gameplay experience. This breakdown details the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade introduced.
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 on Terminus and Liberty Falls, this perk increases the chance of killed Zombies dropping extra ammo and Essence. Augments further enhance its capabilities:
Major Augments:
- Fetid Upgr-aid: Killed Zombies may drop a gas cloud charging Field Upgrades.
- Smell of Death: Killed Zombies may drop a concealing gas cloud.
- Parting Gift: Vulture Aid ammo drops provide increased Wonder Weapon ammo.
Minor Augments:
- Condor’s Reach: Extends auto-loot pickup range.
- Carrion Luggage: Critical kills have a higher chance of dropping extra 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 bullets create healing glyphs that transfer to nearby injured allies. Augments offer further customization:
Major Augments:
- Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage touching enemies, but have reduced duration.
- Big Game: Enables healing glyph activation on Elite enemies, dropping three additional glyphs.
- Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily increases healing speed.
Minor Augments:
- Longer Life: Increases healing glyph lifespan.
- Extra Strength: Healing glyphs restore more health upon consumption.
- Express Remedy: Increases the range the glyph travels to reach allies.
Light Mend is unlocked 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 summoning lightning to stun and damage nearby enemies for 10 seconds. The effect connects to allies. Augments provide additional power:
Major Augments:
- Transformer: Damage increases based on 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 to allies.
- Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while Tesla Storm is active.
- Lithium Charged: Increases Tesla Storm duration.
Tesla Storm is also unlocked through the Black Ops 6 Merry Mayhem Event.
