BO6 Zombies: Best Augments for Every Perk

If players want to thrive in Black Ops 6 Zombies, then they are going to need to use the best Augments for every Perk-a-Cola featured. With 11 Perks in Black Ops 6 Zombies as of the release of Reckoning, each Perk can be upgraded and enhanced with Minor and Major Augments, which can easily change the way players experience a fresh Round of each Zombies map. If players want the best Augments for Perks in Black Ops 6 Zombies, then check out the comprehensive guide below of what ranks players need to grind for, and why they're going to be a game-changer.

Best Augments for Jugger-Nog

Augment	Description	Type
Probiotic	Slightly increase maximum health with Jugger-Nog	Major
Durable Plates	Slightly increase armor durability	Minor

Jugger-Nog is the most vital crutch Perk as it provides an increase to maximum health, and this health can be further increased by 50 HP with Probiotic, an Augment that allows players to have a total of 300 HP. This is perfect for higher rounds where zombies start to deal more damage.

Durable Plates is also the next best Augment to use, as while Hardened Plates might seem enticing, once players reach high rounds, armor will break far too easily, and thus players will die far quicker. With Durable Plates, the increased armor durability means that players can take a few more hits in the later rounds.

Best Augments for Quick Revive

Augment	Description	Type
Dying Wish	On lethal damage, become immune to all damage for 2 seconds and keep 1 health. Quick Revive is removed on use. This can be done up to 3 times.	Major
Slow Death	Increase your time in last stand.	Minor

Dying Wish is the most important Augment for Quick Revive, a perk that grants faster healing regeneration and faster revive time. Dying Wish will provide players with an extra life, which sees Quick Revive removed upon lethal damage, giving players 2 seconds of invulnerability on 1 HP. This is perfect for players who would rather lose Quick Revive and purchase it again instead of losing all of their Perks.

For the other Augment slot, use Slow Death, an Augment that provides longer bleedout time in last stand. This is great for solo players, as it allows you to remain on the ground to kill zombies or boss enemies before picking yourself up, but it also gives a more generous window for other players to revive you.

For those who play with multiple allies, Swift Recovery is worth considering because it provides a speed boost to the revived player and the reviver.

Best Augments for Speed Cola

Augment	Description	Type
Classic Formula	Reload speed is even faster.	Major
Quick Swap	Swap weapons faster.	Minor

Reload weapons and replate armor faster with Speed Cola, and grant even faster reload speed with Classic Formula. With Classic Formula, players will be able to reload far quicker than anyone else, and they can speed through reloads to make sure they always have ammo at the ready.

Quick Swap becomes another useful Augment, as players can swap weapons faster so that they have further synergy between their loadout, which is great for players who use more hefty weapons like the Wonder Weapons featured on the maps.

Best Augments for PhD Flopper

Augment	Description	Type
PhD Slider	Sliding into enemies triggers explosions.	Major
Tribologist	Sliding distance and speed are increased.	Minor

Self-inflicted explosive damage is non-existent with PhD Flopper, but that's not the main reason to use this Perk. With Augments like PhD Slider, players can now slide into enemies to explode them, allowing them to move enemies out of the way with ease. The more important Augment here is Tribologist, which provides an increase to sliding distance and speed, allowing players to slide around the map with intense speed to get away from danger.

Players might want to think about using Environmentalist when fighting the Z.Rex in Shattered Veil, as you can slide through the toxic puddles.

Best Augments for Double Tap

Augment	Description	Type
Double Impact	Double hits on the same target in quick succession deal more damage.	Major
Double Time	Increase fire rate bonus.	Minor

Double Tap is another essential Perk thanks to how it vastly increases the fire rate of all weapons. To add further power to this Perk, try out Double Impact, an Augment that increases the damage of said weapon when you hit the same target with a second bullet, which is assured in higher rounds when one bullet simply won't cut it. For additional DPS, use Double Time for the increase to fire rate.

Double Standard is a great choice for Shotguns, as non-critical shots deal double damage, and critical hits are far harder to get with Shotguns.

Best Augments for Stamin-Up

Augment	Description	Type
Stalker	Walk faster while aiming.	Major
Hot Foot	Gain a speed boost after your equipment kills an enemy.	Minor

Stamin-Up increases the player's movement speed, and it becomes essential in high rounds since the zombies will begin to sprint at raging speeds. Therefore, Stalker becomes a grand Major Augment to use, as it will allow players to walk faster while aiming, making it a must-have for players who rely on backpeddling and critical hits for a run-and-gun fighting style.

Hot Foot is also a great Augment to use for Stamin-Up, as when players use Lethal Equipment to kill a zombie, they will be granted an extreme speed boost. Combat Axes will always kill a standard zombie, and they're a great and reusable item that allows players to always stay on the move.

Players might want to consider Free Faller for Reckoning, as this is a vertical map where fall damage could be lethal if players do not deploy a parachute. Dasher is also good for players who want to sprint for longer in larger maps.

Best Augments for Deadshot Daiquiri

Augment	Description	Type
Dead Again	Critical hits have a chance of adding a bullet to your magazine.	Major
Dead Break	Increase damage to armor pieces.	Minor

Deadshot Daiquiri is more important than you might think, as it improves ADS precision and increases critical hit damage. As such, Dead Again is a great choice to use, as critical hits will return bullets to your magazine, ensuring you can keep firing without having to reload as often. With Dead Break as the other Augment, players can deal increased damage to armored enemies, and in the later rounds, there are sure to be a lot of them.

Dead Head is also a great Augment, as this will provide a slight increase to critical damage.

Best Augments for Vulture Aid

Augment	Description	Type
Parting Gift	Vulture Aid ammo drops give more ammo to Wonder Weapons.	Major
Picky Eater	On death, zombies have a higher chance of dropping your current equipment.	Minor

Vulture Aid is all about increasing the variety of loot dropped by slain enemies, which is why Parting Gift is a very important Augment, as this will provide additional ammo to Wonder Weapons, which are incredibly important weapons to use for high rounds. Picky Eater is also great for these loot drops, as it provides more of your current equipment, meaning you can get more tactical and lethal equipment drops without spending Salvage at the Crafting Table.

Smell of Death is also a great choice for the Major Augment, as it has a chance for zombies to drop a toxic cloud upon death, which players can stand into to grant themselves temporary immunity.

Best Augments for Melee Macchiato

Augment	Description	Type
Vampiric Extraction	Melee attacks heal a small amount of your health.	Major
Stick 'N Move	Backpedal speed is increased after a successful melee attack.	Minor

Melee Macchiato is only really a useful Perk for players who like to use melee weapons as their main source of attack. As such, Vampiric Extraction is very useful for providing health on kills with melee weapons, especially since it's hard to attack zombies with melee weapons without also getting hit in the crossfire.

Stick 'N Move becomes the next best Augment to combine with Melee Macchiato, as backpedal speed is increased, meaning players can walk backwards and continue to swing their melee weapon without risk of slowing down.

Expresso is also a nice Augment to use for players who want faster melee attacks.

Best Augments for Elemental Pop

Augment	Description	Type
Electric Cherry	Reloading creates an electric damage discharge that damages and stuns nearby normal enemies. The more empty the magazine, the stronger the damage.	Major
Chill Berry	Slightly reduce all Ammo Mod cooldowns.	Minor

Elemental Pop provides players with the potential for randomly triggered Ammo Mods with each shot fired, and this works great with Chill Berry to reduce the cooldown of said Ammo Mod effect. Also, using Electric Cherry is useful on every round, as players can create an electric damage discharge when they reload, which stuns and damages zombies, allowing for even stronger effects depending on the ammo left in the magazine after a reload.

Vulnera Bean is also a great choice for players who struggle with Special and Elite enemies, as it provides more elemental weakness damage.

Best Augments for Death Perception

Augment	Description	Type
Death Stare	Your Elemental weakness damage has a chance to kill an enemy that is low on health.	Major
Bird's Eye View	The minimap's scan rate is increased.	Minor

Death Perception is easily the most useless Perk, since all it does is keyline enemies with a red hue. Regardless, there is a fairly useful Augment to be found with Death Stare, which provides a chance to kill Special and Elite zombies that are low on health, provided that players are using a corresponding Elemental weakness through the right Ammo Mod. For the next Augment, try Bird's Eye View, as it will ensure that you always know where zombies are thanks to the minimap's scan rate.
