how to augments work in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Revolutionizing the experience, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies brings a never-before-seen customization mechanic with the all-new Augments, rooted in the much-appreciated base of the classic Perks, Ammo Mods, and Gobblegums. This new feature is stacked with a whole new layer of strategy and freedom of choice, allowing players to manipulate and enhance their loadouts to create tailored play styles to overcome the relentless undead hordes.

From being crystal clear from the onset that Activision has really put in the big efforts in expanding the Zombies experience with Augments for the new Black Ops 6, this begs from combining the familiar with the new, so as to hopefully give them Zombies mode that will satisfy the needs of the old fans, with which the new fans will come. A return to iconic features alongside new game-changer features, such as Augments, make Black Ops 6 set out with the intention and promise of setting new standards in the genre.

Black Ops 6 Augments Explained

Black Ops 6 Zombies also presents a game-changing, brand-new systemic built for redefining your loadout: Augments. These enhancements will give players a level of control they have never had before over Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades.

The Augments are split into two classes, i.e., Major and Minor. Major Augments have major enhancement, and Minor Augments have minor enhancement. There are three Major and Minor Augments to unlock for each Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrades, but each of them can have only one Major and one Minor Augment equipped at a time, though strategic choice.

Of course, here there are really very many different augments, with the total number approaching 100. The full list is kept under lock and key, but a few augments have leaked out to give a bit of insight into the exciting possibilities that lay ahead.

Let's take an example of some Augments in action. Dark Flare Field Upgrade: the beam now slows when an enemy gets stuck in it (Heavy Shadow) or turns into a damaging explosive sphere (Shadow Ball).

The first option on the Melee Macchiato Perk is Hidden Impact, reloading a bit of your weapon upon successfully getting a melee kill, but the second option, Vampirism, restores your health on each successful melee hit.

Finally, the following upgrades are possible for the Shadow Rift ammo mod: teleport specific zombies when the ability is used or explode when they are teleported.

Such examples are vast and of consequence, with each fitted character suiting the emphasis and play style of the individual player.

Augments offer such a broad canvas for a player to fill his play styles with each of them; however, they have to be unlocked by marching research paths associated with each perk, ammo mod, and field upgrade. This ambitious system will encourage players to be loyal and explore different ways of ameliorating and improving raids.
