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

In *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* Zombies, armor is a crucial component of any Operator's arsenal. For those looking to enhance their armor beyond the standard Tier 3, a new Easter egg on The Tomb map offers the chance to acquire the coveted Gold Armor Vest. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain and utilize the Gold Armor in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.

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 itself over time. This feature is invaluable as it allows players to conserve resources and maintain armor integrity even without additional plates in their inventory. This is particularly useful against formidable foes like Amalgams, ensuring you're never caught defenseless.

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:

1. Acquire 2 statue heads from the Dark Aether Nexus.
2. Place the statue heads on the ruined statues in the Dig Site.
3. Activate and survive two "Blood Sacrifices."
4. 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 the Gold Armor, players must first locate two statue heads within the Dark Aether Nexus. These heads are essential 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. Here, you'll find two Roman Statues:

• One near the Ammo Cache, by the door leading to the Neolithic Catacombs. Interact with this statue to place the head and repair it.
• The other near the Roman Mausoleum, close to the Pack-a-Punch machine spawn point. Interact to place the second head.

Once the heads are placed, a new UI prompt will appear, allowing you to start the 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 is best initiated at the end of a round to avoid additional enemy spawns. Players cannot heal or use powerful support items like Chopper Gunners or Mutant Injections during the challenge. However, there are strategies to make it easier:

• For solo players, use a Mutant Injection to transform into a Mangler, which can take no damage. Time the activation to coincide with the start of the Blood Sacrifice, then melee the HVTs to defeat them.
• In co-op, one player can activate the challenge from within the Dig Site while another player, positioned outside, uses a Chopper Gunner to eliminate the HVTs as they spawn.

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.
