Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and Support
Jingle Hells, the holiday-themed map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, offers a unique twist on weapon progression and obtaining support items. This guide details how to upgrade weapons, acquire Ammo Mods, and secure essential equipment and support.
Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells
Unlike the standard Black Ops 6 Zombies experience, the Arsenal Machine is absent in Jingle Hells. Weapon upgrades are achieved using Aether Tools, consumable items with varying rarity levels (color-coded). Using an Aether Tool upgrades your weapon to that tool's rarity tier (e.g., a purple Aether Tool upgrades to Legendary rarity). Here's how to obtain Aether Tools:
- Church Spire Easter Egg: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. Successfully destroying the head causes zombies to drop loot, including Aether Tools. Higher round numbers yield higher rarity Aether Tools.
- Bank Vault: Loot Keys open safety deposit boxes in the Bank Vault, which have a chance of containing Aether Tools.
- S.A.M. Trials: Completing S.A.M. Trials, aiming for the highest reward tier, offers a chance to acquire Aether Tools.
- Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrade a weapon to Legendary rarity using this GobbleGum.
- Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources increase in rarity as the round progresses.

Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells
Currently, the only Ammo Mod available in Jingle Hells is Cryo Freeze. This consumable is primarily obtained from Holiday Presents, which drop randomly upon enemy kills and with increasing rarity at higher rounds. Additional sources include the Naughty or Nice power-up (Nice yields multiple presents, Naughty spawns vermin) and the S.A.M. Machine (spawns presents upon appearance).
Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells
The Workbench is also absent, preventing Salvage-based crafting of equipment and support items like Chopper Gunners or Self Revives. However, these items can still be acquired through:
- Enemy Kills: Equipment drops as loot from slain enemies.
- Holiday Presents: These can contain equipment.
- Special and Elite Enemy Kills: Support items drop from these enemies.
- S.A.M. Trials: Award equipment and support.
- Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: Contain equipment and support.

This comprehensive guide covers the unique methods for obtaining weapon upgrades, Ammo Mods, equipment, and support in the Jingle Hells mode of Black Ops 6 Zombies.
