Unlocking the Gold Armor Vest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies on The Tomb Map
Armor is crucial in Call of Duty Zombies. This guide details how to obtain the powerful Gold Armor Vest in Black Ops 6, significantly improving your survivability.
Gold Armor Vest Benefits
Introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Gold Armor Vest automatically repairs itself over time, eliminating the constant need for armor plates. This is a game-changer for resource management, especially against tough enemies like Amalgams. While manual plating remains an option, the self-repair feature ensures you're always protected.
Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Acquire Statue Heads: Locate two statue heads inside the Dark Aether Nexus. These are hidden within destructible wooden crates. Melee attack the crates to reveal and collect the heads. One crate is near a palm tree in a corner of the Nexus (closest to the green Gateway portal), and the other is near the Juggernog Perk Machine on a raised platform.
-
Repair Roman Statues: Head to the Dig Site. Place the statue heads on the two ruined Roman statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, and the other is closer to the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area).
-
Complete Blood Sacrifices: Interacting with the repaired statues initiates a "Blood Sacrifice." This involves surviving waves of high-value target (HVT) enemies (Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts). The number of enemies scales with the number of players. You'll be at 1 HP during this challenge, relying solely on your armor. Strategically using Mutant Injection (solo) or a Chopper Gunner (co-op) is highly recommended.
-
Purchase the Vest: After completing two Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available as a free Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.
Strategies for Surviving the Blood Sacrifice:
-
Solo: Utilize the Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, rendering you invulnerable. Time the activation precisely as the challenge begins.
-
Co-op: One player activates the Blood Sacrifice while another, positioned outside the Dig Site, uses a Chopper Gunner to eliminate the HVTs from a distance.
By following these steps, you'll be equipped with the invaluable Gold Armor Vest, significantly enhancing your survival chances in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
