"Unlock Gold Armor in Black Ops 6 Zombies Tomb"

Author: Amelia Apr 23,2025

In *Call of Duty* Zombies, armor is an essential component of an Operator's toolkit. Players looking to upgrade their armor beyond the standard Tier 3 can now achieve this with a new Easter egg on The Tomb map. Here’s how you can acquire the Gold Armor Vest in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.

What Does Gold Armor Do in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

Originally introduced in *Modern Warfare 3* Zombies, Gold Armor has been a game-changer for players frustrated with the constant need to re-plate after taking damage. In *Black Ops 6*, Gold Armor continues to offer the same benefit—automatic, slow repair of armor over time. This feature allows players to manually plate up if needed, but the armor will regenerate even without plates in your inventory. This is crucial for managing resources effectively and maintaining enough armor to withstand hits from formidable enemies like Amalgams, preventing instant downs.

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

The statue heads are hidden in wooden boxes within the Dark Aether Nexus. You’ll need to destroy these boxes using melee attacks to reveal the heads. Once a box is broken and the head is visible, interact with it to pick it up. The first head is near a palm tree in the corner closest to the green Gateway portal. The second is easily found 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 spawn point. You'll find two Roman statues here. The first is near the Ammo Cache, by the door leading towards the Neolithic Catacombs. Interact with it to place the head and repair the statue. The second statue is near the Roman Mausoleum, which houses a potential Pack-a-Punch spawn. Place the second head on this statue similarly.

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

How To Survive the Blood Sacrifice in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Blood Sacrifice in The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies as part of an article about Gold Vest.The Blood Sacrifice involves battling powerful HVT versions of Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. In solo mode, three HVTs spawn, while in co-op, the number increases based on the player count. During the challenge, players are locked at 1 HP, with all damage directed to armor plates. It’s crucial to have a Tier 3 vest and ample armor plates before beginning.

It’s best to activate the Blood Sacrifice at the end of a round, as existing enemies won’t despawn. The challenge’s difficulty stems from the inability to heal or use powerful support items like Chopper Gunners or Mutant Injections once it begins. However, there are strategies to exploit:

  • For solo players, grab a Mutant Injection to transform into a damage-resistant Mangler. Time the injection to activate just as the challenge starts, then melee the HVTs to defeat them.
  • In co-op, have one player start the challenge within the Dig Site while another player remains outside with a Chopper Gunner. As the challenge starts, the outside player can call in the Chopper Gunner to target the HVTs from above, making it easier to clear them out.

Once both Blood Sacrifices are completed, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available as a free Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.

And that’s how you can get the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
