Augments

Augments are a function introduced within the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode. They serve as optional methods to gain additional effects on various upgrades to tweak and give unique benefits to help aim team-play or unique play-styles. Augments are available for Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods and Field Upgrades, with the ability to add a Major alongside a Minor augment to the respective item. The Augment menu is unlocked at Level 11 and is split into the Equip and Research screens.

Trivia

• A number of the Augments are named after or replicate the abilities of Perks and Equipment in older games.
  • Jugger-Nog's Turtle Shell causes armor to act like how the Zombie Shield in the older games would behave when not in a players hand, protecting players from all rear damage but not the front.
  • Speed Cola's Speedy Roulette, Supercharged, and Quick Swap are all effects of the perk Timeslip.
  • Quick Revive's Swift Recovery and Karmic Return are based on it's own Modifier perk additions from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
  • Quick Revive's Equivalent Exchange is based off how Quick Revive functioned for Solo players within games prior to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
  • Quick Revive's Dying Wish functions nearly identically to the perk Dying Wish.
  • Elemental Pop's Electric Cherry augment is a reference to the Electric Cherry perk.
  • PhD Flopper's PhD Slider augment is a call back to PhD Slider, which replaced PhD Flopper in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War due to the change in movement mechanics.
  • Melee Macchiato's Vampiric Extraction and Triple Shot are effects from the Ethereal Razor perk from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
  • Frenzied Guard's Frenzy Fire is partially based off the Tier III Aetherium Upgrade of the Ring of Fire Field Upgrade from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
  • Vulture Aid's Smell of Death Augment recreates one of the effects it originally had in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
  • Double Tap's Double or Nothing and Double Standard augments both double the damage of certain shots, similarly to Double Tap 2.0's damage increase.
