by Evelyn Jan 18,2025

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded delivers a major update for Zombies fans, headlined by the new Citadelle des Morts map. But that's not all! Several exciting new additions enhance the undead-slaying experience. Let's explore the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.

Vulture Aid Perk and Augments

Vulture Aid Perk Can in Black Ops 6 Zombies

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

Major Augments:

  • Fetid Upgr-aid: Killed zombies release gas clouds charging Field Upgrades.
  • Smell of Death: Gas clouds from fallen zombies provide temporary concealment.
  • Parting Gift: Ammo drops provide increased Wonder Weapon ammunition.

Minor Augments:

  • Condor’s Reach: Increases auto-pickup loot range.
  • Carrion Luggage: Critical kills yield extra Salvage.
  • Picky Eater: Increases the chance of dropping your currently equipped items.

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments

Light Mend Ammo Mod in Action

Light Mend is a brand-new Ammo Mod debuting with Citadelle des Morts, also usable on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps. Unlike other mods focused on zombie damage, Light Mend prioritizes player defense and healing. Light elemental damage from bullets creates healing glyphs for nearby allies. Augments offer further customization:

Major Augments:

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

Minor Augments:

  • Longer Life: Increases the healing glyph's lifespan.
  • Extra Strength: Healing glyphs restore more health.
  • Express Remedy: Increases the range the glyph travels to reach allies.

Unlock Light Mend via the Merry Mayhem Event.

Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments

Major Augments:

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

Minor Augments:

  • Power Grid: Extends the range of the electrical tether to allies.
  • Overclocked: Boosts movement speed while Tesla Storm is active.
