The 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 the gameplay experience. This breakdown details the new Perk, Ammo Mod, and Field Upgrade.
Vulture Aid Perk and Augments:
A returning perk from Black Ops 2's Buried map, Vulture Aid aids scavenging. Available in Citadelle des Morts's Perk Machine and Der Wunderfizz 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 charging Field Upgrades.
- Smell of Death: Killed zombies drop concealing gas clouds.
- Parting Gift: Vulture Aid ammo drops provide increased Wonder Weapon ammo.
Minor Augments:

Light Mend Ammo Mod and Augments:
This new Ammo Mod, debuting alongside Citadelle des Morts (but usable on Terminus, Liberty Falls, and future maps), focuses on player defense and healing. Light elemental damage from bullets creates healing glyphs that move to injured allies. Augments offer further customization:
Major Augments:
- Antibiotic: Healing glyphs damage nearby enemies but have reduced duration.
- Big Game: Activates on Elite enemies, dropping three additional healing glyphs.
- Dual Action: Consuming a glyph temporarily boosts healing speed.
Minor Augments:

The Light Mend Ammo Mod is unlocked via the Merry Mayhem Event.

- Static Discharge: On activation, creates a lethal electrical surge.
Minor Augments:
