Cryo Freeze in Black Ops 6 Zombies is an Ammo Mod that can inflict status effects on enemies and different monsters. It is a classic type of Mod that has been present in previous Zombies titles as well and can slow down the movement of the undead or freeze them completely for a while. The item does not need any separate activation and can be simply used after equipping it in the loadout.
Cryo Freeze in Black Ops 6 Zombies provides an effective route to deal with fast-moving monsters. It is also a great way to deal with larger hordes since your bullets will slow their approach and provide you with more time to spray down and launch other perks and explosives. However, you need to grind the game a bit to be able to access this particular Ammo Mod.
This article will highlight the best way to secure Cryo Freeze in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

How to unlock Cryo Freeze in Black Ops 6 Zombies
To unlock the Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies, you must reach Player Level 14. This mod grants each bullet a chance to slow down normal or special enemies and increases the damage they receive.
Once unlocked, you can acquire the Ammo Mod in-game by purchasing it at the Arsenal Machine using Salvage. Salvage are small piles of junk with a green outline, randomly dropped by defeated enemies, and act as a currency in Zombie mode. Resources are readily available in the game and you should try to look through every possible corner to gather them. Most of the items that are obtained in Zombies mode can be used - be it as currency or parts for a stronger Wonder Weapon.
This time, a new mechanic allows you to enhance the effectiveness of Ammo Mods by equipping Augments. Cryo Freeze has six Augments — three minor and three major — but you can only equip one Minor and one Major Augment at a time.
Here is the full list of Augments available for the Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod:
Major Augments
- Big Game: Cryo Freeze can slow elite enemies.
- Ice Cloud: Enemies that are killed while frozen may leave a cloud that slows enemies.
- Frozen Stiff: Enemies are frozen in place.
Minor Augments
- Extension: Slightly increases the duration for which enemies are slowed down for.
- Freezer Burn: Slightly increases damage to frozen enemies.
- Liquid Nitrogen: Significantly increases your chance for Cryo Freeze to activate.
Note that you can equip only one Ammo Mod to your weapon at a time. However, during gameplay, you can purchase a different Ammo Mod from the Arsenal Machine when needed.

Conclusion
Cryo Freeze is a straightforward item that performs as expected. It is a powerful tool that can increase the stopping power of your weapons with the ability to freeze enemies. This is a massive benefit that should be taken advantage of as it can reduce the clearing time for the first few waves. However, it can become even more important in later stages when monsters of higher tier and variety join the battlefield.

You will likely encounter a few moments when the Cryo Freeze rounds will not work as expected on the enemies. This is largely due to the ability of some monsters that increase their resistance and can take more hits. This is when you should group up and utilize the weapon's raw damage output to eliminate the undead.
