The best perks are increasing in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Augments is a new system in Black Ops 6 which allows you to infuse unique buffs into your Perk-A-Colas, weapon ammo types, and even field upgrades. Crafting the ultimate charge will require dozens of hours of grinding, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. These power-ups can basically change the difficulty of zombies depending on which ones you use.

Of course, you want to bring the best possible boosts when pushing for high rounds or easter egg attempts. Today we're going to look at the top ten perk boosts you can use in BO6 Zombies, ranging from the popular Tribologist to lesser-rated options like Electric Cherry and Stalker.

10 Stalker – Stamina Up

When you're not sprinting past hordes of zombies to group them, you're usually mowing down the horde with your weapon of choice. You lose a significant amount of movement speed while ADS, which can be extremely dangerous in higher rounds or when Rampage Inducer is active.

That's where Stalker comes in. This Stamin-Up buff makes your firing speed significantly faster, almost on par with your normal firing speed. If you pair this with an Infiltrator Stock on your weapon, your firing speed will match your sprint speed for almost any weapon, making it trivial to outmaneuver zombies in higher rounds.

Another boost for Stamin-Up, Hot Foot gives you one considerable movement speed boost for three seconds after you land a kill with any gear – including lethal, tactical and field upgrades. And when we say significant, we mean roughly twice your movement speed. Sprinting is faster than tactical sprinting, and tactical sprinting gives you superhuman speed.

While this buff is something you need to actively trigger, the increase in movement speed is invaluable in higher rounds where distance between you and the zombies is paramount. You can run a Combat Axe, Impact Grenades or even Kasamir to trigger this boost with ease. Throw it, take a kill and run for the hills.

8 Reactive Armor – Jugger-Enough

If you've played previous iterations of Zombies, Reactive Armor is basically Widow's Wine. Whenever one of your armor plates breaks, you'll unleash a concussion blast that stuns zombies within melee range. Zombies that are even a few meters away will not be affected, and the explosion cannot stun Elite zombies.

Even with these drawbacks, this is still a free crowd control tool that will passively activate when you're in trouble. There's no enemy cap or any cooldowns either; if an armor plate breaks for any reason, the perk will activate. Probiotics are arguably better if you tend to catch zombies before mowing them down in higher rounds, but if you're a more casual player who hates juggling dozens of zombies, Reactive Armor will often save your skin.

7 Classic formula – Speed ​​Cola

There is not much to analyze here. Even with this boost equipped, Speed ​​Cola reduces most reload animations to barely a second. Pretty much any weapon you own can now be reloaded safely in the middle of a horde, which is downright mandatory in higher rounds where zombies get absurdly fast. Pair this with explosive weapons or snipers to maximize your kill potential.

6 Electric Cherry – Elemental Pop

Similar to Reactive Armor, Electric Cherry is an S-tier buff for crowd control in higher rounds. When you reload your weapon, you'll release an electric shockwave that hits all normal zombies, regardless of how many rounds you reload. This explosion also damages affected targets, and it damages the result is is affected by how low your magazine was before you reloaded.

The main reason to use Electric Cherry is for the AoE stun. You can effectively stun an entire group of zombies at will by pressing the reload button, immobilizing them for about two seconds. You can stack this with Reactive Armor for a second source of CC, making it incredibly difficult to get swarmed.

5 Dead First – Deadshot Daiquiri

Dead First is absolutely mandatory if you plan to make it past round 40. This boost doubles your critical damage if the target is at full HP. This applies all enemies, including special and elite zombies. A single instance of double damage may not sound significant, but when you consider powerful one-shot weapons like snipers, this buff allows your weapons to one-hit zombies significantly longer than usual.

Pair Dead First with a Pack-A-Punched sniper rifle. You can one tap Manglers and Abominations with a single headshot.

Even if you don't plan on using a sniper, you can still get some use out of this boost with automatic weapons. You'll usually be aiming for the head regardless, so the bonus damage from this buff will still be useful. You'll be using zombies with a push for much longer, and the extra damage in later rounds can prove invaluable for ammo conservation.

4 Dying Wish – Quick Revive

Dying Wish is actually a cheat death buff, allowing you to survive lethal damage up to three times per match. Whenever you would go down, you instead lose Quick Revive and become temporarily immune to damage. You must purchase Quick Revive gain to benefit from Dying Wish, but you can only trigger this buff three times per match. Still, it's invaluable for driving high rounds or completing complex Easter eggs.

3 Hardened plates – Jugger-Nog

The description of hardened tiles is somewhat confusing, especially when comparing it to durable tiles. Essentially, all this buff does is redirect almost all incoming damage to your armor. You will still take HP damage, but it will be significantly less than without this boost, about half as much.

This means your armor wears off slightly faster than normal, but you can now comfortably survive consecutive melee attacks without worrying about going down. As long as you have armor, it's practically impossible to go down. Just make sure to keep your armor stock topped up on later rounds to keep this buff in effect.

2 PhD Slider – PhD Flopper

The PhD Slider is back as a boost in this year's Call of Duty. While active, you will create a trail of purple flames behind you as you glide. If you contact some zombie while sliding, normally for Elite, they will explode violently. Normal zombies are ragdolled and either killed outright or turned into crawlers. Special and Elite zombies are staggered instead.

This is undoubtedly better than Dr. Frame for a few reasons:

1. You can hit multiple enemies with the PhD Slider. Dr. Ram only hits one target at a time.
2. Dr. Ram just ragdoll's enemies. PhD Slider can instantly kill zombies for you.
3. Tactical Sprint has a short cooldown. Sliding does not.

Summary: PhD Slider is an S-tier pick for every charge. If you want a surefire way to kill laggards while running laps around zombies, you won't find a better boost than this.

1 Tribologist – PhD Flopper

The best movement boost in all of Black Ops 6 isn't from Stamin-Up. That honor goes to Tribologist, a boost for the PhD Flopper that doubles your glide distance and glide speed. In other words, your slide effectively turns into a short-range dash that you can trigger at will. It covers large distances and can be chained if you feed a slide into the air. Glide off a surface, glide immediately upon landing, and you'll fly across the map.

You can pair this with the PhD Slider to become a sliding missile.
