The best perk expansions in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Augments are a new system in Black Ops 6 This allows you to add unique buffs to your Perk-A-Colas, weapon ammo types, and even field upgrades. Creating the ultimate loadout will require dozens of hours of grinding, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. These expansions can fundamentally change the difficulty of Zombies depending on which expansions you use.

Of course, you'll want to bring the best reinforcements possible if you're going for high rounds or Easter Egg attempts. Today we're taking a look at the ten best perk expansions you can use in BO6 Zombies, from the popular Tribologist to less appreciated options like Electric Cherry and Stalker.

10 Stalker – Stamin Up

When you're not sprinting past hordes of zombies to group them up, you're usually mowing down the horde with your chosen weapon. With ADS you lose a significant amount of movement speed, which can be extremely dangerous in higher rounds or while Rampage Inducer is active.

This is where Stalker comes into play. This upgrade for Stamin-Up increases your attack speed significantly, almost on par with your normal attack speed. When you combine this with an Infiltrator stock on your weapon, your strafe speed will be the same as your sprint speed on almost all weapons, making it easier to outmaneuver zombies in higher rounds.

Hot Foot is another supplement for Stamin-Up considerably Increases movement speed for three seconds after landing a kill with any piece of equipment, including lethal weapons, tactical weapons, and field upgrades. And when we say “substantial,” we mean about twice your movement speed. Sprinting becomes faster than tactical sprinting, and tactical sprinting gives you superhuman speed.

While you need to actively trigger this buff, increasing movement speed is invaluable in higher rounds where the distance between you and the zombies is of the utmost importance. You can use a battle axe, percussion grenades, or even the Kasamir to easily trigger this reinforcement. Throw it, get a kill and run for the mountains.

8 Reactive Armor – Jugger-Nog

If you've played previous versions of Zombies, Reactive Armor is basically Widow's Wine. Whenever one of your armor plates breaks, you unleash a concussive explosion that stuns zombies within melee distance. Zombies that are just a few feet away are not affected and the explosion cannot stun elite zombies.

Despite these drawbacks, this is still a free crowd control tool that activates passively when you're in trouble. There is also no enemy cap or cooldowns; If an armor plate breaks for any reason, the benefit is activated. Probiotic is arguably better if you tend to corral zombies before mowing them down in higher rounds. However, if you're a casual gamer who hates juggling dozens of zombies, Reactive Armor will often save your skin.

7 Classic formula – Speed ​​Cola

There's not much to analyze here. While this upgrade is equipped, Speed ​​Cola reduces most reload animations to just under a second. Virtually every weapon you own can now be safely reloaded in the middle of a horde, which is downright mandatory in higher rounds where zombies become absurdly fast. Combine this with explosive weapons or snipers to maximize your killing potential.

6 Electric Cherry – Elementary pop

Similar to Reactive Armor, Electric Cherry is an S-tier buff for crowd control in higher rounds. Whenever you reload your weapon, you release an electrical shockwave that stuns all normal zombies, regardless of how many rounds you reload. This explosion also inflicts and inflicts damage on affected targets Is Affected by how low your magazine was before reloading.

The main reason to use Electric Cherry is the AoE stun. You can effectively stun an entire group of zombies at will by pressing the reload button, preventing them from moving for about two seconds. You can combine this with Reactive Armor to get a second source of CC, making it incredibly difficult to be overpowered.

5 Dead First – Deadshot Daiquiri

Dead First is absolutely necessary if you want to make it past round 40. This boost doubles your critical damage if the target is at full HP. This applies to all Enemies including special and elite zombies. A single double damage may not sound significant, but if you're considering powerful single-shot weapons like snipers, this expansion allows you to keep your weapons on zombies with a tap for significantly longer than usual.

Combine Dead First with a Pack-A-Punched sniper rifle. You can tap Manglers and Abominations with a single headshot.

Even if you don't plan on using a sniper, you can still take advantage of this automatic weapon boost. Typically you'll definitely aim for the head, so the bonus damage from this buff will still be useful. You can attack zombies with a single button press for much longer, and the extra damage in later rounds can prove invaluable for ammo conservation.

4 Dying wish – quick revival

Dying Wish is effectively a cheat death expansion that allows you to survive fatal damage up to three times per game. Whenever you go down, you instead lose Quick Revive and become temporarily immune to damage. To benefit from Dying Wish, you must purchase Rapid Revive, but you can only trigger this buff three times per game. Still, this is invaluable for achieving high rounds or completing complex Easter eggs.

3 Hardened plates – Jugger-Nog

The description of hardened plates is a bit confusing, especially when comparing them to durable plates. Essentially, all this buff does is redirect almost all incoming damage to your armor. You still take HP damage, but it is significantly less than without this buff, about half as much.

While this does mean your armor drops a little faster than normal, you can now comfortably survive successive melee attacks without having to worry about going under. As long as you have armor, it's virtually impossible to sink. Just be sure to replenish your armor pool in later rounds to keep this buff in effect.

2 PhD Slider – PhD Flopper

PhD Slider is back as an expansion in this year's Call of Duty. While active, every time you slide you create a trail of purple flames behind you. If you contact any Zombies when sliding, normal to elite, explode violently. Normal zombies are ragged and either killed instantly or turned into crawlers. Special and Elite zombies are instead tiered.

This is arguably better than Dr. for several reasons. R.A.M:

1. PhD Slider allows you to hit multiple enemies. Dr. Ram only hits one target at a time.
2. Dr. Ram only has ragdoll enemies. PhD Slider can kill zombies for you.
3. Tactical Dash has a short cooldown. Pushing doesn't work.

Conclusion: PhD Slider is an S-tier choice for any loadout. If you're looking for a safe way to kill stragglers while running laps around zombies, you won't find a better expansion than this.

1 Tribologist – PhD flopper

The best movement buff in Black Ops 6 doesn't come from Stamin-Up. That honor goes to Tribologist, an expansion for PhD Flopper that doubles your slide distance and slide speed. In other words, your slide effectively turns into a short-distance sprint that you can trigger at any time. It covers long distances and can be chained if you enter a slide in mid-air. Slip off a surface and immediately slide when you land, sending you flying across the map.

You can combine this with the PhD Slider to become a sliding rocket.
