Unlocking the Unbreakable: Obtaining the Gold Armor Vest in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies
Armor is a crucial asset for Operators in Call of Duty Zombies. Players aiming for superior protection beyond the standard Tier 3 armor can achieve this through a challenging Easter egg on The Tomb map in Black Ops 6. This guide details how to acquire the coveted Gold Armor Vest.
The Power of Gold Armor
First introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, the Gold Armor Vest offers a significant advantage. Unlike regular armor, which requires constant re-plating, the Gold Armor Vest automatically repairs itself over time. This self-repairing function persists even without armor plates in your inventory, making it invaluable for resource management and ensuring survival against powerful foes like Amalgams.
Acquiring the Gold Armor Vest: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to obtain the Gold Armor Vest on The Tomb map:
-
Locate Statue Heads: Find two statue heads within the Dark Aether Nexus. These are concealed within destructible wooden boxes. Use melee attacks to break the boxes and collect the heads.
The image shows the location of one statue head; the second is near the Juggernog Perk Machine within the same area. -
Repair the Statues: Take the statue heads to the Dig Site. Place them on the two ruined Roman statues. One is near the Ammo Cache, the other near the Roman Mausoleum (Pack-a-Punch area).
-
Survive the Blood Sacrifices: After placing both heads, interact with the statues to initiate a "Blood Sacrifice." This involves eliminating waves of powerful HVT (High-Value Target) enemies: Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. The challenge significantly reduces your health to 1 HP, making armor crucial. Strategies include using Mutant Injection (solo) or a Chopper Gunner (co-op) to overcome this challenge.

Claim Your Reward: After completing both Blood Sacrifices, the Gold Armor Vest will become available for purchase as a Wall Buy in the Roman Mausoleum.
Mastering the Tomb's Challenge
The Blood Sacrifice is a demanding task. Prioritize acquiring a Tier 3 vest and ample armor plates before initiating the challenge. Remember, effective teamwork and strategic use of abilities are key to success in co-op mode.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
