Unlocking the Gold Armor Vest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies on The Tomb Map
Gold Armor is a game-changer in Call of Duty Zombies, offering significant survivability advantages. This guide details how to obtain the Gold Armor Vest, a powerful upgrade that automatically repairs itself over time, significantly improving resource management. This is especially beneficial against challenging enemies like Amalgams.
Gold Armor's Function:
In Black Ops 6, as in previous iterations like Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Gold Armor Vest passively regenerates armor over time, eliminating the constant need for armor plating. While manual plating remains an option, the automatic repair ensures you're always protected, even without extra plates.
Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest:
The process involves several steps:
-
Locate Statue Heads: Two statue heads are required. These are found within the Dark Aether Nexus, concealed inside destructible wooden boxes. Melee attacks are necessary to break the boxes and reveal the heads.
The first box is near a palm tree in a corner of the Dark Aether Nexus, close to the green Gateway portal. The second is easily spotted near the Juggernog Perk Machine on the same raised platform.
-
Repair Roman Statues: Transport the statue heads to the Dig Site. Place each head on one of the two ruined Roman statues. One statue is near the Ammo Cache, the other near the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area).
-
Complete Blood Sacrifices: After placing both heads, a "Blood Sacrifice" challenge is initiated. This involves surviving waves of high-value target (HVT) enemies (Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts). The challenge forces players to 1 HP, making armor crucial. Multiple HVTs spawn, scaling with player count. Strategies for survival include:
- Solo: Utilize a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, becoming temporarily invincible. Time the transformation to coincide with the challenge's start.
- Co-op: One player initiates the sacrifice while another uses a Chopper Gunner from outside the Dig Site to eliminate the HVTs.
-
Purchase the Vest: After surviving both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available for purchase as a Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.
By following these steps, you can acquire this invaluable piece of equipment and significantly enhance your survival chances in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
