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, ammo mods, and support item acquisition. Unlike the standard game mode, the Arsenal Machine and Workbench are absent. Let's explore the alternative methods.

Weapon Upgrades:

Instead of Salvage, players must utilize Aether Tools. These consumable items, found in various rarities (color-coded), upgrade weapons to their corresponding tier (e.g., a Purple Aether Tool upgrades to Legendary rarity). Here's how to obtain them:

  • Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting zombie drop contains a chance at 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, aiming for the highest reward tier, can yield Aether Tools.
  • Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrades a weapon to Legendary rarity.
  • Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons acquired from these sources increase in rarity with progressing rounds.

Ammo Mods:

In Jingle Hells, the only available Ammo Mod appears to be Cryo Freeze. This consumable is primarily obtained from:

  • Holiday Presents: These randomly drop loot, with higher rarity rewards appearing in later rounds. Holiday Presents themselves drop from enemy kills, the Naughty or Nice power-up (Nice yields multiple presents, Naughty spawns vermin), and the S.A.M. Machine upon its appearance.

Equipment and Support:

The absence of the Workbench eliminates Salvage-based equipment crafting. However, equipment and support items can be found via:

  • Enemy Kills: Regular enemies can drop equipment.
  • Holiday Presents: These can contain equipment.
  • Special and Elite Enemy Kills: These enemies have a chance to drop support items.
  • S.A.M. Trials: These can award both equipment and support.
  • Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes have a chance to contain equipment and support.

Mastering these alternative methods ensures you're well-equipped to survive the festive challenges of Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

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