Enhancing the Call of Duty Zombies Experience in Black Ops 6
Call of Duty Zombies is making a strong comeback with Black Ops 6, promising a thrilling and revamped experience while keeping the core elements that fans love. This time, Treyarch introduces Augments, a feature that significantly enhances gameplay by offering new ways to improve Perk-a-Colas, Field Upgrades, and Ammo Mods.
Understanding Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, Augments serve as enhancements for various in-game items, such as Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. Players can explore different research paths for these items in the pre-game menu, allowing for tailor-made gameplay styles.
The purpose of Augments is to create a deep progression system that enriches the gaming experience. Players can experiment with different Augments, understanding their interactions with Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. This not only enhances individual playstyles but also adds depth when coordinating with teammates.
There are six Augments available for each item type, split into Minor and Major categories. Minor Augments offer slight advantages, while Major Augments provide significant boosts, altering item behavior during use.
How to Use Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies
The journey to unlocking Augments begins at player level 11. Once researched and unlocked, players can select specific Augments before starting a match, tailoring their loadout to fit their strategy.
For instance, after achieving successful mass takedowns, a player might focus on researching the Dark Flare Field Upgrade. As they unlock Minor and Major Augments, they gain additional power, enhancing future uses of this Field Upgrade. Players can choose one Minor and one Major Augment for each item before each match and swap them between matches.
