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-themed twist on Liberty Falls, but it also alters weapon progression and upgrade mechanics. This guide details how to upgrade weapons and obtain Ammo Mods 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 are achieved using Aether Tools, consumable items with varying rarity levels (color-coded). Using an Aether Tool upgrades your weapon to that tool's rarity tier (e.g., a Purple/Legendary Aether Tool grants Legendary rarity). Here's how to obtain Aether Tools:
- Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The head's destruction releases zombies that drop loot, including Aether Tools. Higher rounds yield higher rarity tools.
- Bank Vault: Loot Keys open safety deposit boxes in the Bank Vault, which have a chance to contain Aether Tools.
- S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials, especially at higher reward tiers, offers a chance to acquire Aether Tools.
- Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrades a 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 and is primarily obtained from Holiday Presents. These presents offer random loot, with higher rarity drops in later rounds. Holiday Presents are acquired through:
- Enemy Kills: They occasionally drop from defeated enemies.
- Naughty or Nice Power-up: The stocking-shaped power-up grants either a "Nice" or "Naughty" UI banner. "Nice" drops multiple Holiday Presents; "Naughty" spawns numerous vermin enemies.
- S.A.M. Machine: The S.A.M. Machine spawns several Holiday Presents upon its appearance.
Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells
The Workbench is also absent from Jingle Hells, preventing Salvage-based equipment crafting and Support item creation (Chopper Gunners, Mutant Injections, Self Revives). However, these items can still be found:
- Enemy Kills: Equipment drops from regular enemies.
- Holiday Presents: Can contain equipment.
- Special/Elite Enemy Kills: Support items drop from these enemies.
- S.A.M. Trials: Can reward equipment and Support.
- Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: May contain equipment and Support.
This covers the methods for obtaining weapon upgrades, Ammo Mods, equipment, and Support in the Jingle Hells mode of Black Ops 6 Zombies.
