The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 01 Reloaded update delivers a significant boost for Zombies enthusiasts. While the new map, Citadelle des Morts, is the headline addition, several key items enhance gameplay. Let's examine 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 scavenging perk. Accessible via the Perk Machine in Citadelle des Morts and the Der Wunderfizz Machine on Terminus and Liberty Falls, it increases loot drops from slain zombies, including ammo and Essence. Augments further enhance its capabilities:
Major Augments:
- Fetid Upgr-aid: Killed zombies drop gas clouds that charge Field Upgrades.
- Smell of Death: Killed zombies drop concealing gas clouds.
- Parting Gift: Ammo drops provide more ammunition for Wonder Weapons.
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 current equipment.
Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments
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 that benefit nearby injured allies. Augments modify this functionality:
Major Augments:
- Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage touching enemies, but have reduced duration.
- Big Game: Activates on Elite enemies, dropping three additional healing glyphs.
- Dual Action: Consuming a glyph accelerates healing temporarily.
Minor Augments:
- Longer Life: Increases the healing glyph's lifespan.
- Extra Strength: Healing glyphs restore more health.
- Express Remedy: Increases the glyph's travel range to allies.
Light Mend is unlocked via the Merry Mayhem Event.
Tesla Storm Field Upgrade and Augments
Making a return from Black Ops Cold War, Tesla Storm summons electricity, stunning and damaging nearby enemies for 10 seconds. Its effects extend to connected allies. Augments provide further customization:
Major Augments:
- Transformer: Damage increases with the number of connected allies.
- Shockwave: On activation, stuns and damages all nearby enemies.
- Static Discharge: Creates a lethal electrical surge upon activation.
Minor Augments:
- Power Grid: Increases the electric tether's 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.
