By Ambar Jimenez | 2025-11-13 23:22:16

Mastering the Augment system is the key to achieving true power in Black Ops 7 Zombies. With 12 Perk-a-Colas, 6 Ammo Mods, and 6 Field Upgrades available, creating the ultimate loadout requires a strategic approach to unlocking and researching every enhancement. This comprehensive guide breaks down the exact requirements, from player level milestones to the total number of Augments you need to research, so you can efficiently progress through the entire tech tree and dominate the undead hordes.

How the Black Ops 7 Augment System Works

Your journey begins by reaching Player Level 11, which unlocks the Augment Research menu. From there, you can access the Research tab under Weapons > Augments. Progress is made by earning Augment XP, which is directly tied to your in-game XP gains from killing zombies.A crucial detail for veterans is that your completed Augment Research from Black Ops 6 will carry over, giving you a head start. The system is gated by two primary factors: your current player level and the total number of Augments you have successfully researched across all categories.

Unlocking All Perk Augment Research

To access the more powerful Perks, you must first research a specific number of Augments from any category. Here is the complete unlock criteria for all 12 Perk-a-Colas:

Perk-a-Cola	Research Unlock Criteria
Stamin-Up	Available immediately.
Quick Revive	3 total Augments.
Jugger-Nog	6 total Augments.
Melee Macchiato	9 total Augments.
Speed Cola	12 total Augments.
Vulture Aid	12 total Augments.
PhD Flopper	15 total Augments.
Death Perception	15 total Augments.
Double Tap	18 total Augments.
Deadshot Daiquiri	18 total Augments.
Wisp Tea	21 total Augments.
Elemental Pop	21 total Augments.

You will need to successfully research a total of 21 Augments to unlock the final Perk research trees.

Unlocking All Ammo Mod Augment Research

Ammo Mods provide essential elemental damage and crowd control. Their unlock requirements are a mix of total Augments researched and player level.

Ammo Mod	Research Unlock Criteria	Level Criteria
Dead Wire	Available immediately.	Unlocked immediately.
Cryo Freeze	6 total Augments.	Player Level 12
Fire Works	9 total Augments.	Player Level 18
Napalm Burst	3 total Augments.	Player Level 35
Shadow Rift	18 total Augments.	Player Level 44
Brain Rot	12 total Augments.	Player Level 51

Start with Dead Wire and work your way up. You will need 12 total Augments to unlock the final Ammo Mod research trees, alongside reaching Level 51.

Unlocking All Field Upgrade Augment Research

Field Upgrades offer powerful active abilities for survival. Like Ammo Mods,they require a combination of Augment progress and leveling up.

Field Upgrade	Research Unlock Criteria	Level Criteria
Energy Mine	Available immediately.	Unlocked immediately.
Frenzied Guard	3 total Augments.	Player Level 8
Dark Flare	9 total Augments.	Unlocked immediately.
Healing Aura	15 total Augments.	Player Level 17
Toxic Growth	12 total Augments.	Player Level 29
Aether Shroud	21 total Augments.	Player Level 48

The final Field Upgrade, Aether Shroud, requires a significant investment of 21 total Augments and reaching Player Level 48.

Pro-Tips for Efficient Augment Research

Focus on Early, Available Augments: Start researching Augments for Stamin-Up, Dead Wire, and Energy Mine immediately to begin building your total Augment count.

Plan Your Path: Look at the requirements for your desired end-game Perks, Ammo Mods,and Field Upgrades. Plan your research path to meet the "total Augment"criteria efficiently.

Play Aggressively for XP: Since Augment XP is tied to regular XP, focus on strategies that maximize your zombie kills to speed up the research process.

By following this guide, you can systematically unlock the full potentialof the Augment system in Black Ops 7 Zombies and build the perfectloadout for any high-round strategy.
