Unlocking the Unbreakable: Obtaining Gold Armor in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies
Armor is a crucial asset for Operators in Call of Duty Zombies, and players seeking superior protection beyond the standard Tier 3 armor can achieve this through a challenging easter egg on The Tomb map in Black Ops 6. This guide details the process of acquiring the coveted Gold Armor Vest.
The Power of Gold Armor
First introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Gold Armor Vest offers a significant advantage. Unlike standard armor, it automatically regenerates over time, eliminating the constant need for re-plating. This feature is particularly beneficial for managing resources and ensuring survivability against formidable foes like Amalgams. Even without armor plates, the vest continues its self-repair process.
Acquiring the Gold Armor Vest: A Step-by-Step Guide
The quest for the Gold Armor Vest involves several steps:
-
Secure Two Statue Heads: Locate two statue heads within the Dark Aether Nexus. These are hidden inside destructible wooden crates. Use melee attacks to break the crates and collect the heads.
One crate is near a palm tree in a corner of the Nexus, close to the green Gateway portal. The second is easily visible near the Juggernog Perk Machine on a raised platform. -
Repair the Roman Statues: Transport the statue heads to the Dig Site area. Place them on the two dilapidated Roman statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, and the other is closer to the Roman Mausoleum.
-
Endure the Blood Sacrifice: Interacting with the repaired statues initiates a "Blood Sacrifice." This involves battling waves of powerful HVT (High-Value Target) enemies: Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. The challenge significantly reduces player health to 1 HP, making it crucial to have a Tier 3 vest and ample armor plates beforehand. The challenge persists alongside any existing enemies.
Strategies for survival include using Mutant Injection (solo) to transform into a Mangler or utilizing a Chopper Gunner (co-op) for aerial support. -
Claim Your Reward: After completing both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available for purchase as a Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.
Mastering this easter egg grants access to the superior protection and resource management benefits of the 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.
