How To Get Weapon Upgrades and Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Jingle Hells, the festive Black Ops 6 Zombies mode, offers a unique twist on weapon progression and upgrades. Forget the Arsenal Machine; Aether Tools are the key to upgrading your weaponry.

Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells

Unlike standard Black Ops 6 Zombies, Salvage is useless in Jingle Hells. Instead, you'll need Aether Tools, consumable items with varying rarity levels (color-coded). Using an Aether Tool upgrades your weapon to that rarity tier (e.g., a purple Aether Tool upgrades to Legendary). Here's how to acquire them:

Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The higher the round, the better the rarity of the dropped Aether Tool.
Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes containing Aether Tools.
S.A.M. Trials: Completing these trials offers a chance at Aether Tool rewards.
Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrades your weapon to Legendary rarity.
Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources increase in rarity as rounds progress.

Ammo Mods: Cryo Freeze

In Jingle Hells, the Cryo Freeze Ammo Mod is the only available option. It drops as a consumable item and is primarily found within Holiday Presents. These presents drop randomly upon enemy kills, from the Naughty or Nice power-up, and from the S.A.M. Machine. Higher rounds yield better loot from presents.

Equipment and Support

The Workbench's absence means no Salvage-based crafting. However, equipment and Support items (like Chopper Gunners, etc.) can be obtained through:

Enemy Kills: Regular enemy kills can drop equipment.
Holiday Presents: These presents offer a chance at equipment.
Special/Elite Enemy Kills: These enemies have a higher chance of dropping Support items.
S.A.M. Trials: Rewards include equipment and Support.
Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes may contain equipment and Support.
