Black Ops 6 Zombies offers a unique progression system called Augments that can be used to enhance the effectiveness of Perk-A-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. These are essential upgrades that can make power-ups stronger by introducing different effects that can boost your ability to survive on the battlefield while fighting zombies and boss monsters.

Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies are not available by default and require players to grind the game a bit to level up, similar to perks and field upgrades. Once you complete the prerequisites, you can unlock the augment system and gradually research the additional power effects. These items can make it easier to fight against larger hordes of undead and area bosses.

This article will highlight the best method to unlock Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Researching Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To begin researching Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies, you first have to reach level 11. Upon reaching the required level, the Augment research system becomes available in the main Zombies menu.

Here are the steps you need to follow to start researching Augments in Black Ops 6 Zombies:

First of all, reach level 11 to unlock the Augment research system.
After you’ve unlocked the research system, navigate to the Augment research section from the main Zombies menu.
Now choose the item type you want to research—Perk-A-Colas, Ammo Mods, or Field Upgrades.
Select the specific Augment for that item. The game will automatically start the research and progress as you keep earning XP during regular gameplay.

Each item in the system has three major and three minor Augments each. However, the game allows you to only equip one major and one minor Augment per item.

All Perk-A-Colas in Black Ops 6 are available from the very first game, meaning you can start researching and augmenting them right away. The Augments you apply to Perk-A-Colas will carry over whenever you purchase that specific perk during gameplay.

However, it is different with Ammo Mods and Field upgrades, which you have to unlock during the game through an Arsenal Machine. As you earn XP by eliminating zombies, completing objectives, and surviving rounds, your Augment research bar will gradually fill as well. When the bar is full, you will unlock the specific Augment and can equip it in your loadout for future use.

This is all there is to know about researching Augments in Black Ops 6 for now.

Conclusion

The first stages in Black Ops 6 Zombies are quite easy as your default weapons can take down the initial waves of zombies with relative ease. However, the region becomes increasingly more difficult with each horde as armored monsters make their way into the field. This is when you will need to use different perks and field upgrades to survive.
