What to Do With Tattered MMA Gloves

How to Use Tattered MMA Gloves
Upgrade to Gold Rarity Place on a Pedestal to Open 2nd Dark Aether Rift

Upgrade to Gold Rarity

To be able to use the Tattered MMA Gloves as a key, you must first upgrade them to Gold Rarity. You can do so by proceeding to the Gym found on tile F7, just below the Zaravan Suburbs. Offer the Tattered MMA Gloves in the middle of the boxing ring you'll find inside the gym.

After offering the gloves, you'll notice that 3 punching bags will spawn on the right side of the room. Punch the bags from left to right to set them on fire and get the upgraded key. It's important to note that you must punch each bag only once to successfully light them all up; otherwise, you'll have to repeat the process again.

Place on a Pedestal to Open the 2nd Dark Aether Rift

After upgrading the Tattered MMA Gloves into Gold Rarity, proceed to the 2nd Dark Aether Rift location. There, you'll find 4 pedestals that requires you to offer a key item on each of them.

The other keys you need are the Drum, Perforated Target, and Pristine Mirror.

2nd Dark Aether Rift Location

The new Dark Aether Rift is found on tile G4 of the main Zombies Map, at the base of the cell tower in the Red Zone. Like the first Dark Aether Rift in Zombies Season 1, you'll need to obtain 4 keys to then put on the pedestals in front of the new Dark Aether Rift.

Unlike with the first Dark Aether Rift, the keys for the new Dark Aether Rift can all be found only within the Countermeasures Story Mission map.
