Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and Support

Jingle Hells, the holiday-themed map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, introduces unique mechanics for weapon upgrades and item acquisition. Forget the Arsenal Machine; this festive mode relies on Aether Tools and Holiday Presents.

Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells

Unlike the standard Black Ops 6 Zombies experience, the Arsenal Machine is absent in Jingle Hells. Weapon upgrades are achieved using Aether Tools, consumable items with varying rarity levels (color-coded). Using a higher-rarity Aether Tool (e.g., Purple/Legendary) upgrades your weapon to that tier. Here's how to obtain Aether Tools:

  • Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting chaos yields loot, including Aether Tools. Higher rounds increase the chance of higher-rarity drops.
  • Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes within the Bank Vault, which may contain Aether Tools.
  • S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials offers a chance to receive Aether Tools as a reward.
  • Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrade your weapon to Legendary rarity.
  • Mystery Box, Wall Buys, and Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources increase in rarity as the round progresses.

Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells

Cryo Freeze is the sole Ammo Mod available in Jingle Hells. It's obtained as a consumable item from:

  • Holiday Presents: These presents, dropped by enemies or awarded through the Naughty or Nice power-up and the S.A.M. Machine, contain random loot, with higher-rarity items more likely in later rounds. "Nice" power-ups yield multiple presents, while "Naughty" power-ups spawn hordes of vermin.

Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells

The Workbench is also missing from Jingle Hells, eliminating Salvage-based equipment crafting. However, equipment and support items (Chopper Gunners, etc.) can be found through:

  • Enemy Drops: Killing enemies, especially Special and Elite enemies, has a chance to drop equipment and support items.
  • Holiday Presents: As mentioned above.
  • S.A.M. Trials: May award equipment and support.
  • Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: Another source for equipment and support.
