How To Get Weapon Upgrades and Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Author: Logan Jan 12,2025

Jingle Hells, the festive Black Ops 6 Zombies mode, offers a unique twist on weapon progression and upgrades. Forget the Arsenal Machine – Aether Tools are the key to weapon upgrades in this holiday-themed map.

Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells

Unlike standard Black Ops 6 Zombies, Jingle Hells replaces the Arsenal Machine with Aether Tools. These consumable items upgrade your weapon to the tool's rarity tier (White, Green, Blue, Purple/Legendary). Here's how to obtain them:

  • Church Spire: Toss a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting chaos will yield loot, potentially including an Aether Tool. Higher round numbers increase the chance of a higher-rarity tool.
  • Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes in the Bank Vault, offering a chance at Aether Tools.
  • S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials, especially at higher reward tiers, can reward you with Aether Tools.
  • Hidden Power GobbleGum: This GobbleGum instantly upgrades your weapon to Legendary rarity.
  • Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources will increase in rarity as the round progresses.

Ammo Mods: Cryo Freeze

In Jingle Hells, the Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod is the only available option. It drops as a consumable item and is primarily obtained from:

  • Holiday Presents: These presents, dropped by enemies, awarded by the Naughty or Nice power-up, or spawned by the S.A.M. machine, contain random loot, including Cryo Freeze. Higher rounds yield better loot. The "Nice" outcome from the Naughty or Nice power-up is particularly generous with Holiday Presents.

Equipment and Support Items

The Workbench's absence means no Salvage-based crafting. However, equipment and support items can still be found:

  • Enemy Drops: Killing enemies, especially Special and Elite enemies, can drop equipment and support items.
  • Holiday Presents: As mentioned above, these presents offer a chance at equipment and support.
  • S.A.M. Trials: Successful completion can reward players with equipment and support.
  • Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes offer a chance at both equipment and support items.
