Call of Duty Black Ops 6 - How to Research Augments
Research Augments allows you to unlock Augments that you can use to upgrade your Loadout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6) Zombies. Read on to learn how to research Augments and which Augments to unlock for maximizing your Loadout's potential.

Prerequisite: Reach Player Level 11

Earn XP by Using the Rampage Inducer

Liberty Falls Terminus

Researching Augments requires you to earn XP. You can get XP Fast by hopping into Liberty Falls or Terminus and then activating the Rampage Inducer as soon as you load in the map. This will increase the difficulty since it will cause Zombies to spawn in fast. If you can manage them, it will allow you to speed through the rounds and farm a lot of XP.

Rampage Inducer Effects

Upgrade Weapon as You Progress Rounds

Pack-a-Punch the Knife

Since Rounds will fly by fast, make sure to upgrade the Rarity and Pack-a-Punch Level of your weapon to ensure that you'll still be able to deal decent damage against the horde and progress the game quick.

Exfil at Round 21 for Bonus XP

At Round 21, it's time for you to exfil since the Rampage Inducer will no longer be in effect. Exfils grant bonus XP, which should definitely speed up the research time for your Augments.

Use Double XP Tokens for More XP

Double XP Tokens

If you're having a difficult time with the Rampage Inducer method, you can simply use Double XP Tokens and just play a zombies match normally. Double XP Tokens doubles the amount of XP that you can earn and thus, speeding up the process of researching Augments.

Double XP Tokens can be obtained through the Battle Pass, Events and Promotions, or by purchasing Store Bundles.

Reach Player Level 11

BO6 Research Augments

You must first reach Player Level 11 to begin researching Augments. Once unlocked, go to the Research Augments menu and select the Perk, Ammo Mod, or Field Upgrade you’d like to research.
