The best Augments to research in BO6 Zombies – Best Augments for Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades

These are what you should focus on upgrading before dealing with the undead.

Black Ops 6 Zombies introduced a bunch of new mechanics to the long-running co-op mode, but none are more important than Augments.

Augments are a way for you to increase your damage, health, movement speed, and more, all while upgrading everything from your equipped Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades. Trust us, you will need them when the Zombies come calling.

Here’s what we think are the best Augments to research and equip for every equipment in BO6 Zombies.

Before being able to use any of the Augments in BO6 Zombies, they first must be researched and upgraded. Augments can be found in BO6 Zombies under the Weapons category. Select Augments, and then you can choose to Research Augments or Equip them.

To research an Augment, you must first select what you want the Augment for. You can only select one Perk, Ammo Mod, or Field Upgrade at a time, unfortunately. While this selection is made, you will level up and acquire Minor and Major Augments while playing BO6 Zombies.

To research your Augments, simply play BO6 Zombies, kill zombies, finish S.A.M. Trials, and use the particular Perk/Ammo Mod/Field Upgrade to do so. Once an Augment is unlocked, you can then equip one Minor and one Major each perk piece of equipment.
