Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies will introduce a brand new feature called Augments. These Augments will improve Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. But what are they and how do they work?
Augments are designed to create a deep progression path, as well as offering you the ability to delve into research that benefits your style of play.
Experimenting with all the available Augments, learning how they interact with other Augments for Perks, Ammo Mods and Field Upgrades, and also how your fellow teammates are using their preferred set-ups, provides an incredible depth to the experience.
What are Black Ops 6 Zombies Augments and What Do They Do?
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, each Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade has its own research path, accessed in the pre-game menus between matches. Revelations you make during your research allow you to unlock new powers for each item, which take the form of Augments.
A total of six Augments per item, three Minor, and three Major are available to upgrade either your Perks, Ammo Mod's, or Field Upgrades.
Minor Augments offer a limited advantage to the item, usually during use.
Major Augments offer a substantial advantage to the behaviour of the item, usually during use.
From the six researched Augments, you can imbue two of them (one Minor, one Major) to each Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.
Examples of Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Field Upgrade Augments
Field Upgrades can be made even more powerful with the use of Augments. Here are two examples of Augments in use with Dark Flare, the new Field Upgrade.
Minor Augment 'Heavy Shadow': Zombies impacted by the beam are slowed
Major Augment 'Shadow Ball': The beam is replaced with a sphere that damages enemies as it travels and detonates at the end of the duration.
Perk Augments
Augments can also be applied to Perks in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Effects you can expect when adding Augments to the brand-new Melee Macchiato Perk include:
Minor Augment 'Hidden Impact': Melee kills reload a portion of your held weapon.
Major Augment 'Vampirism': Successful melee attacks heal for 25 health.
Ammo Mod Augments
Ammo Mods will also be upgradeable with Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Examples of this include 'Targeted' and 'Explosive Rain'.
Minor Augment 'Targeted': Dropped Zombies will fall on other Zombies.
Major Augment 'Explosive Rain': Zombies that are dropped from portals will explode on contact with the ground.
How do you Research Augments?
It isn't fully clear how players will be able to research new Augments but it is likely based on some type of currency system where players earn points that can be redeemed against the research tree of Augments between matches.
Even more Black Ops 6 Zombies will be showcased at Call of Duty: NEXT on August 28 so we expect to find out even more about Augments then.
