"Guide to Obtaining Gold Armor in Black Ops 6 Zombies' Tomb"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 28,2025

In *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies, armor has evolved into an essential component of every Operator's arsenal. For those eager to surpass the standard Tier 3 armor, a new Easter egg on The Tomb map offers the chance to acquire the prestigious Gold Armor Vest. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to secure the Gold Armor Vest in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.

What Does Gold Armor Do in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

Introduced initially in *Modern Warfare 3* Zombies, Gold Armor was designed to address players' frustrations with the constant need to re-plate armor after damage. In *Black Ops 6*, Gold Armor continues this trend by automatically repairing itself over time, eliminating the need for manual plating even when you're out of armor plates. This feature is crucial for efficient resource management and ensures you're never caught off-guard by powerful enemies like Amalgams, who can down you in a single hit if your armor is depleted.

The statue heads are found inside wooden boxes within the Dark Aether Nexus. To retrieve them, destroy the boxes with melee attacks, then hold the interact button to pick up the heads. The first head is near a palm tree in a corner closest to the green Gateway portal. The second is easily spotted near the Juggernog Perk Machine on the same raised platform.

After collecting both heads, return to the Dig Site near The Tomb's initial spawn point. Locate the two Roman Statues: one near the Ammo Cache by the door leading to the Neolithic Catacombs, and the other near the Roman Mausoleum. Interact with each statue to place the heads and repair them.

How To Survive the Blood Sacrifice in Black Ops 6 Zombies

In solo mode, you'll face three, while co-op mode increases this number. During the challenge, your health is locked at 1 HP, with all damage directed to your armor plates. Ensure you have a Tier 3 vest and sufficient armor plates before starting.

For solo players, using a Mutant Injection can transform you into an invincible Mangler. Time the injection to activate as the challenge begins, then melee the HVTs to defeat them. In co-op, one player can activate the challenge while another uses a Chopper Gunner from outside the Dig Site to take out the HVTs safely.

Once both Blood Sacrifices are completed, the Gold Armor Vest will become available as a free Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.

And that's how you secure the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
