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 self-repairing capabilities that significantly improve survivability. This guide details how to obtain this powerful upgrade in Black Ops 6.
The Benefits of Gold Armor
First introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, Gold Armor automatically repairs itself over time, mitigating the constant need for armor plating. This is especially crucial against powerful enemies like Amalgams, ensuring you maintain sufficient protection. While manual plating remains an option, the self-repair feature is a boon for resource management.
Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Locate Statue Heads: Find two statue heads within the Dark Aether Nexus. These are hidden inside destructible wooden boxes. One box is near a palm tree in a corner of the Nexus, close to the green Gateway portal. The other is easily found near the Juggernog Perk Machine. Use melee attacks to break the boxes and collect the heads.
-
Repair the Statues: Head to the Dig Site. Place the statue heads on the two ruined Roman statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, the other is closer to the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area).
-
Complete the Blood Sacrifices: Activating a repaired statue initiates a Blood Sacrifice. This involves surviving waves of high-value target (HVT) enemies: Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. The sacrifice reduces your health to 1 HP, but damage is absorbed by your armor. It's recommended to have a Tier 3 vest and ample armor plates before starting. The number of HVTs increases with the number of players.
-
Strategic Approaches to Blood Sacrifices:
- Solo Players: Utilize a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, rendering you invulnerable. Time the injection activation to coincide with the Blood Sacrifice start. Melee the HVTs.
- Co-op Players: Have one player activate the sacrifice while another uses a Chopper Gunner from outside the Dig Site to eliminate the HVTs.
-
Claim Your Reward: After completing both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available for purchase at the Roman Mausoleum Wall Buy.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can acquire the invaluable Gold Armor Vest, significantly enhancing your survival chances in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' The Tomb map.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
