Unlocking the Unbreakable: Obtaining Gold Armor in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Gold Armor has become an essential asset for Operators in Call of Duty Zombies. Players aiming to enhance their armor beyond the standard Tier 3 can achieve this via a challenging easter egg on The Tomb map in Black Ops 6. This guide details the process of acquiring the coveted Gold Armor Vest.

The Power of Gold Armor

First introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, Gold Armor addresses the frustration of frequent armor re-plating. Its self-repairing mechanism gradually restores armor over time, even without armor plates in your inventory. This significantly improves resource management and ensures survivability against formidable foes like Amalgams.

Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to acquire the Gold Armor Vest on The Tomb map:

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

    Statue Heads Location

    • 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 the Statues: Return to the Dig Site and place the statue heads on the two ruined Roman statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, the other near the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area). Interact with each statue to place a head.

  3. Survive the Blood Sacrifice: Activating a repaired statue initiates a Blood Sacrifice. This involves eliminating powerful HVT versions of Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. Players start with 1 HP, and damage is absorbed by armor. Strategies for survival include:

    Blood Sacrifice

    • Solo: Use a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, negating damage. Time the transformation precisely as the challenge begins.
    • Co-op: One player activates the sacrifice, while another uses a Chopper Gunner from outside the Dig Site to eliminate the HVTs.
  4. Claim Your Reward: After completing two Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available as a Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.

Mastering this easter egg grants you a significant advantage in Black Ops 6 Zombies. Good luck, Operator!

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