Work In Progress: This guide is still being checked and expanded, so some details may change.
Every method here is built into the game, no glitches.
Quick Answers
- Augments unlock at player level 11.
- Research is pure XP. The item does not need to be equipped or in use.
- Black Ops 6 research carries forward, with extra steps to research.
- Finish an item's research to equip 1 major and 2 minor augments on it.
Unlock The Augments Menu
- Reach player level 11.
- Open the Weapons tab.
- Open the Augments tab.
- Two sections: Research Augments and Equip Augments.
Research
BO6 Carry-Forward
- BO6 progress carries forward. Nothing unlocks twice.
- Every item has 3 more steps than in BO6.
- Last step is a bonus slot, not an ability.
- Research the old item again to get the new steps.
- New items (Wisp Tea, Fire Works, Toxic Growth) start with every step to unlock.
- Menu shows a percentage per item. New items start at 0%.
Pick An Item
- Open Research Augments.
- Select the perk, ammo mod or field upgrade.
- Check mark = item being researched.
- One item at a time.
Earn XP
- Research costs XP only. Weapons and strategy do not matter.
- Each step costs more XP than the last.
- Augments are XP based, not time based. Kill zombies as fast as you can.
- Run a fast high-round strategy, then exfil at your target round (example: round 50).
Finishing An Item Mid-Match
- You cannot change the research item during a match.
- Finish an item and the game auto-selects another. No XP wasted.
- Change it back in the menu after the match.
- Never quit early to swap.
Equip Augments
- Open Equip Augments.
- Pick an item.
- Default: 1 major, 1 minor.
- At 100% on that item, check 2 different minor augments.
Result: 1 major + 2 minor per item.
Per Item
- Each item counts on its own.
- No need to finish a whole category.
- Unfinished items stay at 1 major, 1 minor.
Recap
- Reach level 11. Weapons tab, then Augments.
- Check mark an item in Research Augments.
- Earn XP. No equip needed.
- Change an auto-picked item after the match.
- At 100%, equip 1 major and 2 minor in Equip Augments.
