The 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 exciting additions enhance gameplay. This guide details the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Returning from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid is a utility perk enabling enhanced 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 slain Zombies dropping extra ammo and Essence. Augments further customize its functionality:

Major Augments:

  • Fetid Upgr-aid: Fallen Zombies may release a gas cloud charging Field Upgrades.
  • Smell of Death: Fallen Zombies may release a concealing gas cloud.
  • Parting Gift: Ammo drops provide increased Wonder Weapon ammunition.

Minor Augments:

  • Condor’s Reach: Extends auto-loot pickup range.
  • Carrion Luggage: Critical kills increase Salvage drop chances.
  • 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), offers a unique defensive and healing mechanic. Light elemental damage inflicted by bullets transforms enemy health into healing glyphs that travel to injured allies. Augments enhance this ability:

Major Augments:

  • Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage nearby enemies but have reduced duration.
  • Big Game: Enables healing glyph generation from Elite enemies (three additional glyphs).
  • Dual Action: Consuming a glyph accelerates healing temporarily.

Minor Augments:

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

Major Augments:

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

Minor Augments:

  • Power Grid: Increases the electric tether's range to allies.
  • Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while active.
  • Lithium Charged: Extends Tesla Storm duration.

Tesla Storm is also unlocked through the Merry Mayhem Event.
