Black Ops 6 Zombies: Season 01 Reloaded Update - New Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade

The Call of Duty Zombies scene gets a major boost with the Season 01 Reloaded update for Black Ops 6. While the new map, Citadelle des Morts, is the star, several new additions significantly enhance gameplay. 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 enhances looting. It's available via a new 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 extra ammo and Essence. Its functionality is further expanded through Augments:

Major Augments:

  • Fetid Upgr-aid: Adds a chance for gas clouds to drop 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 significantly boosted.

Minor Augments:

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

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments

Light Mend Ammo Mod in Action

Light Mend, a brand new Ammo Mod, debuts alongside Citadelle des Morts but works on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps. Unlike other Ammo Mods focused on weakening or killing, Light Mend prioritizes defense and healing. Bullets inflict Light elemental damage, with a chance to convert enemy health into healing glyphs that travel to injured allies. Augments offer further customization:

Major Augments:

  • Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage enemies on contact, but their duration is shortened.
  • Big Game: Enables healing glyph generation from Elite enemies, dropping three additional glyphs.
  • Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily accelerates healing.

Minor Augments:

  • Longer Life: Increases the healing glyph's lifespan.
  • Extra Strength: Healing glyphs restore more health.
  • Express Remedy: Extends the range at which glyphs 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 that summons electricity, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. The effect connects to allies, amplifying its impact. Augments allow for significant improvements:

Major Augments:

  • Transformer: Damage increases based on the number of connected allies.
  • Shockwave: On activation, instantly 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.
