Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and Support
Jingle Hells, the holiday-themed map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, introduces unique mechanics for weapon upgrades and item acquisition. Unlike the standard game, the Arsenal Machine and Workbench are absent. This guide details how to upgrade weapons, obtain Ammo Mods, and acquire equipment and Support items.
Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells
Forget Salvage! In Jingle Hells, weapon upgrades rely on Aether Tools, consumable items with varying rarity levels (color-coded). Using an Aether Tool upgrades your weapon to that rarity tier (e.g., a Purple Aether Tool grants Legendary rarity). Here's how to find them:
- Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting zombie drop contains loot, potentially including an Aether Tool. Higher rounds yield higher rarity tools.
- Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes within the Bank Vault, offering a chance at Aether Tools.
- S.A.M. Trials: Completing these trials, especially at higher reward tiers, can reward Aether Tools.
- Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrades your weapon to Legendary rarity.
- Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources increase in rarity as the round progresses.
Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells
Currently, only the Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod is available in Jingle Hells. This consumable is primarily found within Holiday Presents. These presents drop randomly upon enemy kills and are also awarded via:
- Naughty or Nice Power-up: The "Nice" version drops multiple Holiday Presents; "Naughty" spawns numerous vermin enemies.
- S.A.M. Machine: Its appearance in Jingle Hells triggers the spawning of several Holiday Presents nearby.
Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells
The absence of the Workbench means no Salvage-based crafting. However, equipment and Support items can still be obtained through:
- Enemy Kills: Regular enemy kills can drop equipment.
- Holiday Presents: These can contain equipment.
- Special/Elite Enemy Kills: These enemies have a chance to drop Support items.
- S.A.M. Trials: These trials can reward both equipment and Support.
- Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes may contain equipment and Support.
Mastering these methods ensures you're well-equipped to survive the festive frenzy of Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
