"Unlocking Gold Armor in Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Guide"

Armor has become an essential component of Operators’ toolkit in *Call of Duty* Zombies. For those looking to enhance their armor beyond the standard Tier 3, a new Easter egg on The Tomb map in *Black Ops 6* offers the chance to acquire the coveted Gold Armor Vest. Here’s a detailed guide on how to obtain it and what it does.

What Does Gold Armor Do in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

Gold Armor, first introduced in *Modern Warfare 3* Zombies, addresses players' frustrations with the constant need to re-plate armor after taking damage. In *Black Ops 6*, Gold Armor continues this functionality by automatically repairing armor over time. This feature is invaluable as it allows players to maintain their armor even without additional plates in their inventory. This not only aids in resource management but also ensures players are protected against one-hit downs from formidable enemies like Amalgams.

How To Get Gold Armor on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To secure the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, follow these steps:

• Acquire 2 statue heads from the Dark Aether Nexus.
• Place the statue heads on the ruined statues in the Dig Site.
• Activate and survive two “Blood Sacrifices.”
• Purchase the Gold Armor Vest in the Roman Mausoleum.

Where To Find the Statue Heads in The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To initiate the Blood Sacrifices required to unlock Gold Armor, players must first locate two statue heads within the Dark Aether Nexus. These heads are crucial for repairing the Roman statues in the Dig Site area.

The statue heads are found inside wooden boxes within the Dark Aether Nexus. Players must destroy these boxes using melee attacks to reveal the heads. Once a box is broken, hold the interact button to collect the statue head.

The first head is located near a palm tree in the corner of the Dark Aether Nexus, close to the green Gateway portal. The second is easily spotted near the Juggernog Perk Machine on the same raised platform.

How To Use the Statue Heads on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

After collecting both heads, return to the Dig Site near The Tomb’s initial spawn point. There, you'll find two Roman Statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, by the door leading to the Neolithic Catacombs. Interact with this statue to place the head and repair it.

The second statue is located further up in the Dig Site, near the Roman Mausoleum, which houses a Pack-a-Punch machine spawn point. Interact with this statue to place the second head.

Once both heads are placed, a new UI prompt will appear when approaching the statues, instructing players to start a Blood Sacrifice.

How To Survive the Blood Sacrifice in Black Ops 6 Zombies

The Blood Sacrifice challenge involves facing at least three powerful HVT versions of Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. In solo play, three HVTs spawn, while more appear in co-op based on the number of players. During the challenge, players are locked at 1 HP, with all damage directed to their armor plates. It's crucial to have a Tier 3 vest and ample armor plates before starting.

The challenge does not despawn existing enemies, so it's best to activate it at the end of a round. Players cannot heal or use powerful support like Chopper Gunners and Mutant Injections during the challenge. However, there are strategies to make it easier.

For solo players, using a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, who can take no damage, is effective. Time the activation of the Mutant Injection as the challenge begins, then melee the HVTs that spawn around you.

In co-op, one player can activate the challenge from within the Dig Site while another player, positioned outside, uses a Chopper Gunner. The player inside should guide the HVTs into a clear line of sight for the aerial attack.

After successfully completing both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available as a free Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.

And that’s how to obtain the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
