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

Armor is a crucial element in the *Call of Duty* Zombies arsenal. To upgrade beyond the standard Tier 3 armor, *Black Ops 6*'s The Tomb map offers a challenging easter egg: the Gold Armor Vest. This guide details how to obtain it.

What Does Gold Armor Do in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

First introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Gold Armor Vest addresses the frustration of constantly replenishing armor. Unlike standard armor, the Gold Armor Vest automatically repairs itself over time, even without armor plates in your inventory. This significantly improves resource management and ensures you're always protected from devastating one-hit kills by powerful enemies like Amalgams.

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

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Acquire 2 Statue Heads: Locate these within the Dark Aether Nexus, hidden inside destructible wooden boxes. Use melee attacks to break the boxes and collect the heads.
2. Repair the Statues: Place the statue heads on the ruined statues in the Dig Site area. One statue is near the Ammo Cache, the other near the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area).
3. Survive Two Blood Sacrifices: After placing both heads, interact with the statues to initiate a Blood Sacrifice. This involves surviving waves of powerful HVT enemies (Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts). The challenge is completing this with 1 HP, relying solely on your armor.
4. Purchase the Vest: Once both Blood Sacrifices are complete, the Gold Armor Vest becomes available for purchase at the Roman Mausoleum's Wall Buy.

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

How To Survive the Blood Sacrifice in Black Ops 6 Zombies

The Blood Sacrifice spawns multiple HVT enemies. Solo players can exploit the challenge by using a Mutant Injection to become a Mangler, becoming temporarily invulnerable. In co-op, utilize a Chopper Gunner to eliminate the enemies from a distance.

Remember, activating the Blood Sacrifice doesn't remove existing enemies, so strategically timing this is key.

After completing both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest will be available for purchase.
