In *Black Ops 6*, Jingle Hells isn't just a holiday-themed overlay on Liberty Falls; it significantly alters how you progress and upgrade within the game. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to upgrade your weapons and obtain Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
How To Upgrade Your Weapon in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies
In the standard *Black Ops 6* Zombies mode, players typically use Salvage at the Arsenal Machine to upgrade their weapons. However, Jingle Hells mode does away with this machine, requiring players to seek out Aether Tools instead.
Aether Tools are consumable items in *Black Ops 6* Zombies, available in various color-coded rarity levels. Using an Aether Tool on a weapon will upgrade it to the corresponding rarity tier. For instance, a Purple (Legendary) Aether Tool will elevate your weapon to Legendary status. Here are the ways to obtain Aether Tools in Jingle Hells:
- Visit the Church and look up near the front entrance. Toss a grenade at the zombie head perched on the spire. If you succeed, the head will vanish, and zombies will plummet from the sky, dropping loot upon impact, including an Aether Tool. The rarity of the tool increases with the round number when you trigger this Easter egg.
- Access the Bank Vault and use Loot Keys to unlock safety deposit boxes, which may contain Aether Tools of varying rarities.
- Participate in S.A.M. Trials and aim for the highest reward tier, as these trials can drop Aether Tools.
- Utilize a Hidden Power GobbleGum to instantly upgrade your weapon to Legendary Rarity.
- Keep an eye on weapons from the Mystery Box, Wall Buys, and Holiday Presents, as their rarity tiers will escalate as rounds progress.
How To Get Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies
In Jingle Hells, the only Ammo Mod available is Cryo Freeze, which you can pick up as a consumable item to equip on your weapons. The primary method to obtain Cryo Freeze Ammo Mods is by opening Holiday Presents, which offer increasingly rare loot as the rounds advance.
You can find Holiday Presents through various means:
- They may drop randomly when you kill enemies.
- The Naughty or Nice powerup, resembling a stocking, can also yield Holiday Presents. Picking it up will display either a "Naughty" or "Nice" banner on your HUD. Nice ones will drop multiple Holiday Presents, whereas Naughty ones will spawn numerous vermin enemies.
- The S.A.M. Machine, when it appears in Jingle Hells, will spawn several Holiday Presents around it.

How To Get Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Just like the Arsenal Machine, the Workbench is also missing from Jingle Hells, meaning you can't use Salvage to craft equipment or powerful Support items like Chopper Gunners, Mutant Injections, or Self Revives. However, there are still several ways to obtain equipment and Support:
- Equipment can drop as loot from defeated enemies.
- Holiday Presents may contain equipment.
- Support items can be obtained by killing Special and Elite enemies.
- S.A.M. Trials can reward you with both equipment and Support.
- The Bank Vault’s Deposit Boxes might also yield equipment and Support.
These methods will help you acquire Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, equipment, and Support in Jingle Hells in *Black Ops 6* Zombies.
