Jingle Hells in *Black Ops 6* is more than just a festive coat of paint. While it does re-theme Liberty Falls for the holidays, it also changes how progression and upgrades work. Here’s how to upgrade your weapon and get Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.

How To Upgrade Your Weapon in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies

In *Black Ops 6* Zombies, players typically use Salvage to upgrade their weapons at the Arsenal Machine. However, in Jingle Hells, this machine is missing. Instead, players must find Aether Tools to upgrade their weapons. Aether Tools are consumables that come in color-coded rarity levels, and using them will upgrade your weapon to the corresponding tier. For instance, using a Purple (Legendary) Aether Tool will elevate your weapon to Legendary Rarity.

In Jingle Hells, you can obtain Aether Tools through several methods:

  • Visit the Church and look up several feet from the front entrance. Throw a grenade at the zombie head on top of the spire. If successful, the head will disappear, and zombies will fall from the sky, dropping loot, including an Aether Tool. The rarity of the tool increases with higher rounds.
  • Open the Bank Vault and use Loot Keys to access the safety deposit boxes, which may contain Aether Tools of various rarities.
  • Complete S.A.M. Trials and aim for the maximum reward tier, as these trials can drop Aether Tools.
  • Use a Hidden Power GobbleGum to instantly upgrade your weapon to Legendary Rarity.
  • Weapons from the Mystery Box, Wall Buys, and Holiday Presents will also increase in rarity as rounds progress.

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

In Jingle Hells, the only available Ammo Mod is Cryo Freeze, which drops as a consumable item that can be equipped to your weapons. The primary way to obtain these is by opening Holiday Presents, which offer random loot with higher rarity rewards as rounds advance.

You can acquire Holiday Presents in several ways:

  • They may drop when you kill an enemy.
  • The Naughty or Nice powerup can also drop them. Picking up the stocking-shaped powerup will display a naughty or nice UI banner on your HUD. Nice ones drop multiple Holiday Presents, while Naughty ones spawn numerous vermin enemies.
  • The S.A.M. Machine will spawn several Holiday Presents around it when it appears in Jingle Hells.

Similar to the Arsenal Machine, the Workbench is also absent in Jingle Hells, meaning players cannot use Salvage to craft equipment or powerful Support items like Chopper Gunners, Mutant Injections, or Self Revives. However, you can still obtain equipment and Support through various means:

  • Equipment can spawn as loot from killing enemies.
  • Holiday Presents can drop equipment.
  • Support can spawn as loot from killing Special and Elite enemies.
  • S.A.M. Trials can award equipment and Support.
  • The Bank Vault’s Deposit Boxes can contain equipment and Support.
