Black Ops 6 – All Zombies Augments Detailed

Black Ops 6 Zombies is an absolute joy, bringing the long-standing mode back to its roots with round-based modes once again embedded in tighter maps. With all of the Wonder Weapons, secrets and overarching objectives awaiting players, it will no doubt be a real time-consumer over the game’s lifespan. While much of the mode looks to its past in terms of what it wants to offer, there are new components that require your attention.

The ability to create a loadout to kick off round one with a chosen weapon is nice, but that isn’t the new addition we are highlighting here. Instead, let’s talk about Augments, a series of modifiers that can be affixed to Perk-A-Colas, Ammo Mods and Field Upgrades to further customize your playstyle.

Here are all of the Augments, major and minor, and what they do once you unlock them. Remember, only one major and minor augment can be tied to each Perk-A-Cola, Ammo Mod and Field Upgrade. Choose wisely.
