Armor has become an essential component of Operators’ arsenals in *Call of Duty* Zombies. For players aiming to enhance their armor beyond the standard Tier 3, a new Easter egg on The Tomb map in *Black Ops 6* offers a chance to obtain the coveted Gold Armor Vest. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to secure the Gold Armor Vest in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.

What Does Gold Armor Do in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

Gold Armor, first introduced in *Modern Warfare 3* Zombies, is designed to alleviate the frustration of constantly needing to replace armor plates after taking damage. In *Black Ops 6*, Gold Armor continues this functionality by automatically repairing armor over time. Even if you're out of armor plates, the Gold Armor Vest will regenerate your armor, making it a crucial tool for managing resources and ensuring you're protected against lethal hits from formidable foes like Amalgams.

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

Here’s a step-by-step guide to obtaining the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies:

• Acquire 2 statue heads from the Dark Aether Nexus
• Place the statue heads on the ruined statues in the Dig Site
• Activate and survive two “Blood Sacrifices”
• Purchase the Gold Armor Vest in the Roman Mausoleum

Where To Find the Statue Heads in The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

To kickstart the process of unlocking the Gold Armor, head to the Dark Aether Nexus to locate two statue heads. These are crucial for repairing the Roman statues in the Dig Site area of the map.

The statue heads are found within wooden boxes in the Dark Aether Nexus. You'll need to melee the boxes to break them open and reveal the heads. Once a box is destroyed, hold the interact button to pick up the statue head.

The first box is near a palm tree, tucked away in the corner of The Dark Aether Nexus closest to the green Gateway portal. The second box is more visible, located near the Juggernog Perk Machine on the same raised platform.

How To Use the Statue Heads on The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies

With both statue heads in hand, return to the Dig Site near The Tomb's initial spawn point. You'll find two Roman Statues here. One is near the Ammo Cache, by the door leading out of spawn towards the Neolithic Catacombs. Interact with this statue to repair it by placing the head atop it.

The second statue is further up in the Dig Site, near the Roman Mausoleum, which also houses a Pack-a-Punch machine spawn point. Interact with this statue to place the second head.

After placing both heads, a new UI prompt will appear when you approach the statues, instructing you to start a Blood Sacrifice.

How To Survive the Blood Sacrifice in Black Ops 6 Zombies

The Blood Sacrifice will spawn at least three powerful High-Value Target (HVT) versions of Shock Mimics and Doppelghasts. In solo matches, three will spawn, with more appearing in co-op based on the number of players. During the Blood Sacrifice, players are locked at 1 HP, and all damage will be absorbed by your armor plates. It's crucial to equip a Tier 3 vest and carry ample armor plates before initiating the challenge.

The challenge does not despawn existing enemies, so it's best to activate it at the end of a round. Players cannot heal or use powerful support like Chopper Gunners or Mutant Injections once the challenge begins. However, there are strategies to make it more manageable.

For solo players, a Mutant Injection can transform you into a damage-immune Mangler. As you start the Blood Sacrifice, spam the input to activate the Mutant Injection. If timed correctly, you'll become a Mangler as the challenge begins. Position the HVTs in a tight half-circle around you and melee them until defeated.

In co-op matches, only one player needs to be in the Dig Site to activate the challenge. Have another player outside the area ready with a Chopper Gunner. As the Blood Sacrifice starts, the player with the Chopper Gunner should deploy it, while the player inside the Dig Site herds the HVTs into view for an aerial takedown.

Once both Blood Sacrifices are completed, the Gold Armor Vest will be available as a free Wall Buy within the Roman Mausoleum.

And that’s how you secure the Gold Armor on The Tomb in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
