Black Ops 6: Best Augments to Use on Field Upgrades

by

As a seasoned player who’s faced down more Manglers and Abominations than I care to remember, I must say that these Augments are nothing short of game-changers!

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that Black Ops 6 Zombies introduces its unique spin on Field Upgrades, building upon mechanics from Black Ops Cold War. What sets it apart is the addition of Augments, which elevate these upgrades to new heights. With Augments in Black Ops 6, players can customize their Field Upgrades, making them more potent based on the Minor and Major Augments they choose.

In Black Ops 6, each Field Upgrade comes with a set of 3 minor and 3 major augmentations that players can unlock. If they aim to tackle high-round challenges and prevent hordes of Manglers from defeating them, it would be beneficial for players to know the top Field Upgrade Augmentations in Black Ops 6.

5 Energy Mine

Extra Charge & Carousel

  • Creates a mine of pure energy that detonates 3 times, dealing lethal electric damage.
Augment Type Augment Name Description Unlock Tier
Minor Extra Charge Increase max charges by 1 3
Major Carousel 3 Energy Mines will float around you, detonating when an enemy is nearby. 6

The Energy Minefield Enhancement works optimally for defensive assaults because of its explosive power, but it becomes even more effective when combined with the Additional Charge Minor Improvement. This enhancement offers an additional explosive charge, resulting in increased electric damage against every undead creature engaged.

Among the top enhancements for the Energy Mine, the Carousel is particularly effective. This upgrade transforms how the Energy Mine Field functions, causing three Energy Mines to trail behind the player and explode when an enemy approaches too closely, much like a close-range defense mechanism. With Extra Charge, you essentially get four Energy Mines that behave similarly to a revamped version of Widow’s Wine.

4 Frenzied Guard

Extension & Frenzy Fire

  • Repair armor to full and force all enemies in the area to temporarily target you. Armor takes all damage during this time.
Augment Type Augment Name Description Unlock Tier
Minor Extension Increase Frenzied Guard duration 3
Major Frenzy Fire While Frenzied, use ammo from stock 6

For gamers seeking high-impact action against zombies, Frenzied Guard is perfect. This ability allows players to boost their damage output while drawing attention when slaying zombies. Since Frenzied Guard restores shields on each kill and damages only the shields (not health) during its duration, extending its time with an upgrade can help you survive longer in the face of swarming hordes.

Players can sustain Frenzied Guard for extended periods, and with the Major Augment of Frenzy Fire, they can draw ammunition directly from their stock rather than the magazine. This means that depending on the weapon, players effectively have an infinite supply of ammo, allowing them to escape tricky situations or focus fire on powerful zombies without worrying about reloading.

3 Dark Flare

Heavy Shadow & Dark Pact

  • Generate an energy beam that deals lethal shadow damage and penetrates everything in its path.
Augment Type Augment Name Description Unlock Tier
Minor Heavy Shadow The beam slows enemies on contact 3
Major Dark Pact Beam heals and revives other players on contact 6

The Dark Flare Field Upgrade isn’t typically top-notch because its damage output tends to be moderately strong, but when coupled with the Heavy Shadow Minor Augment, it becomes a formidable option for challenging rounds. This is due to the shadow beam slowing enemies upon contact, preventing them from pursuing players as aggressively.

When paired with the Dark Pact Major Augment, players can direct the beam towards an ally to resurrect them, ensuring a lifeline during emergencies with a Field Upgrade that’s consistently available. This is a cooperative Augment designed for cooperative Field Upgrades.

2 Healing Aura

Stoic Presence & Persistence

  • Heal all nearby players immediately.
Augment Type Augment Name Description Unlock Tier
Minor Stoic Presence On activation, special and elite enemies are stunned while normal enemies are knocked down 5
Major Persistence Revived players keep all perks on their bleed-out bar 6

The Healing Aura’s power isn’t too strong individually as it offers a brief health boost to players. However, it can be strengthened with the Stoic Presence Minor Augment, which has two effects: firstly, it stuns Manglers, Abominations, and Amalgams; secondly, it knocks down ordinary zombies. This is advantageous because not only does it help regenerate health, but it also provides an opportunity to evade imminent danger by enabling players to retreat and engage in battle another day.

With Persistence activated, players can instantly resurrect teammates using their Field Upgrade during the revival phase, allowing them to retain most of their Perks even if they briefly lose some.

1 Aether Shroud

Extension & Group Shroud

  • Phase into the Dark Aether and become temporarily hidden from enemy detection.
Augment Type Augment Name Description Unlock Tier
Minor Extension Aether Shroud duration is significantly increased 5
Major Group Shroud Nearby players are also cloaked 2

Having the ability to transition into the Dark Realm, making yourself undetectable by enemies while still inflicting damage on them, is undeniably powerful. But adding the Minor Enhancement of Prolongation to extend your stay in the Dark Realm for an extended period is indeed a smart decision. This provides players with ample opportunity to recuperate lost health, resuscitate fallen teammates, and even attack relentless swarms without faltering.

Using the Group Shroud Major Enhancement, players have the ability to merge their Field Upgrades with allies’ ones, ensuring mutual advantages. This is an augment designed for those who prefer collaborative gameplay and survival as a team. Notably, during Easter egg boss battles, players will reap significant benefits from this teamwork.
