All New Black Ops 6 Zombies Perks, Mods, & Field Upgrades Explained

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded update is packed with goodies for Zombies fans. While the new map, Citadelle des Morts, steals the spotlight, several new items enhance the gameplay experience. Let's explore the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Making a comeback from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk aiding loot scavenging. Found in Citadelle des Morts's Perk Machine, and the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls, it increases the chance of ammo and Essence drops from slain Zombies. Augments further enhance its capabilities:

Major Augments:

• Fetid Upgr-aid: Killed Zombies drop gas clouds charging Field Upgrades.
• Smell of Death: Killed Zombies drop concealing gas clouds.
• Parting Gift: Vulture Aid ammo drops provide more ammo for Wonder Weapons.

Minor Augments:

• Condor’s Reach: Increases auto-pickup loot range.
• Carrion Luggage: Critical kills increase Salvage drops.
• 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 (but usable 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 for nearby injured allies. Augments provide further customization:

Major Augments:

• Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage touching enemies, but have reduced duration.
• Big Game: Activates on Elite enemies, dropping three extra healing glyphs.
• Dual Action: Consuming a glyph boosts healing speed temporarily.

Minor Augments:

• Longer Life: Increases healing glyph lifespan.
• Extra Strength: Increases health replenished by glyphs.
• Express Remedy: Increases glyph travel range to allies.

Light Mend is unlocked via the Merry Mayhem Event.

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

Returning from Black Ops Cold War, Tesla Storm summons lightning, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. Its effects are amplified by Augments:

Major Augments:

• Transformer: Damage increases with the number of connected allies.
• Shockwave: On activation, stuns and damages all nearby enemies.
• Static Discharge: On activation, creates a lethal electrical surge.

Minor Augments:

• Power Grid: Increases electric tether range to allies.
• Overclocked: Increases movement speed during Tesla Storm.
• Lithium Charged: Increases Tesla Storm duration.

Tesla Storm is also unlocked through the Merry Mayhem Event.
