Unlock the Gilded Legacy: Acquiring Gold Armor in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Unlocking the Gold Armor Vest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies on The Tomb Map

Gold Armor, a returning feature from Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, is a game-changer in Black Ops 6. This upgrade automatically repairs itself over time, even without armor plates, significantly improving resource management and survivability against tough enemies like Amalgams. This guide details how to obtain it.

Gold Armor's Functionality:

The Gold Armor Vest functions as an automatic armor repair system. While manual plating remains an option, the vest continuously regenerates armor, eliminating the need for constant re-plating. This is particularly beneficial for conserving resources and ensuring consistent protection.

Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest:

The process involves several steps:

1. Acquire Statue Heads: Locate two statue heads inside the Dark Aether Nexus. These are found within destructible wooden boxes; use melee attacks to break them open.

   

   • One box is near a palm tree in a corner of the Dark Aether Nexus, close to the green Gateway portal.
   • The second is easily visible near the Juggernog Perk Machine on the same raised platform.

2. Repair Roman Statues: Return to the Dig Site and place the statue heads on the two ruined Roman statues.

3. Complete Blood Sacrifices: Activating a repaired statue initiates a "Blood Sacrifice" challenge. This involves surviving waves of powerful HVT (High-Value Target) enemies, including Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. The challenge significantly reduces player health to 1 HP, focusing damage on armor. Strategies for survival are detailed below.

   

4. Purchase the Vest: After completing two Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available for purchase as a free Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.

Strategies for Surviving the Blood Sacrifice:

• Solo Players: Utilize a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, granting invulnerability. Time the activation to coincide with the Blood Sacrifice's start. Melee the HVTs while Mangler.

• Co-op Players: 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 can acquire the invaluable Gold Armor Vest and enhance your survival capabilities in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
