Black Ops 6 Zombies: Unlocking Arsenal Upgrades

Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and Support

The festive Jingle Hells mode in Black Ops 6 Zombies offers a holiday twist, altering the usual progression and upgrade mechanics. This guide details how to upgrade weapons, obtain Ammo Mods, and acquire equipment and Support items.

Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells

Unlike the standard Black Ops 6 Zombies experience, the Arsenal Machine is absent 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/Legendary Aether Tool grants Legendary rarity). Here's how to obtain them:

• Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting chaos yields loot, including a chance at an Aether Tool. Higher round numbers increase the likelihood of higher-rarity Aether Tools.
• Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes within the Bank Vault, offering a chance at Aether Tools of various rarities.
• S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials, aiming for the highest reward tier, provides a chance to acquire 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. It drops as a consumable item. The primary method of obtaining it is through Holiday Presents, which contain random loot and offer better rewards in later rounds.

Holiday Presents can be obtained in several ways:

• Enemy Kills: Killing enemies occasionally drops Holiday Presents.
• Naughty or Nice Power-up: This power-up yields either a "Nice" (multiple Holiday Presents) or "Naughty" (increased vermin enemies) outcome.
• S.A.M. Machine: The S.A.M. Machine spawns Holiday Presents around it upon appearance.

Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells

The Workbench is also absent in Jingle Hells, preventing Salvage-based equipment crafting and Support item creation (Chopper Gunners, Mutant Injections, Self Revives). However, these items can still be obtained:

• Enemy Kills: Killing enemies, especially Special and Elite enemies, can drop equipment and Support items.
• Holiday Presents: These presents offer a chance at equipment and Support.
• S.A.M. Trials: These trials can reward equipment and Support.
• Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes may contain equipment and Support.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
