Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 isn't just a festive reskin of Liberty Falls; it also shakes up weapon progression and upgrades. This guide explains how to upgrade your weapons and obtain Ammo Mods in this holiday-themed Zombies mode.

How To Upgrade Your Weapon in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Unlike the standard Black Ops 6 Zombies experience, the Arsenal Machine is absent in Jingle Hells. Weapon upgrades are achieved using Aether Tools. These consumable items have varying rarity levels (color-coded), with higher rarity tiers providing better upgrades. For example, a purple (Legendary) Aether Tool upgrades your weapon to Legendary rarity. Here's how to find them:

  • Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. This will trigger a horde of zombies, and one will drop an Aether Tool. Higher rounds yield higher rarity Aether Tools.
  • Bank Vault: Open safety deposit boxes within the Bank Vault using Loot Keys. These boxes have a chance of containing Aether Tools.
  • S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials, especially at higher reward tiers, offers a chance to obtain Aether Tools.
  • Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrade your weapon to Legendary rarity with this GobbleGum.
  • Mystery Box, Wall Buys, and Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources will increase in rarity as the round progresses.

How To Get Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies

In Jingle Hells, the only Ammo Mod appears to be Cryo Freeze. This consumable is primarily obtained from Holiday Presents, which drop random loot with higher rarity chances in later rounds. Holiday Presents can be acquired in several ways:

  • Enemy Kills: They occasionally drop from regular enemy kills.
  • Naughty or Nice Power-up: The stocking-shaped power-up grants either a "Nice" or "Naughty" effect. "Nice" drops multiple Holiday Presents, while "Naughty" spawns numerous vermin enemies.
  • S.A.M. Machine: When the S.A.M. Machine spawns, it also spawns several Holiday Presents nearby.

The Workbench is also absent in Jingle Hells, meaning Salvage cannot be used to craft equipment or Support items like Chopper Gunners, Mutant Injections, or Self Revives. However, they can still be acquired through:

  • Enemy Kills: Equipment can drop from regular enemy kills.
  • Holiday Presents: Holiday Presents can contain equipment.
  • Special and Elite Enemy Kills: Support items can drop from these enemies.
  • S.A.M. Trials: These trials can reward equipment and Support.
  • Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes have a chance to contain equipment and Support.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
