Best Augments for Field Upgrades in Black Ops 7 Zombies

If you want the most powerful Augments for your Field Upgrades in Black Ops 7, then make sure you’re using these ones!

Updated on December 12, 2025, by Jake Fillery: With the release of Mule Kick as a new Perk in Black Ops 7 Zombies, and the ability to experiment with 2 Minor Augments and 1 Major Augment if you complete a 100% research task on any Perk, we’ve updated this guide. This guide now includes every Perk in Black Ops 7, along with the best Major and 2 Minor Augments for each of them.

Best Augments for Stamin-Up in Black Ops 7

Stamin-Up is useful for allowing you to sprint faster and, in general, move faster. As such, we selected Guns Up as a fun Major Augment so that you can shoot guns while sprinting to always be in the action without delay.

We selected Footwork as a Minor Augment so that you can strafe and sprint at faster speeds when you’re not going forward, and Quarterback helps just so you can use equipment while staying agile, allowing you to ready Monkey Bombs and Kazimirs without delay.

Best Augments for Quick Revive in Black Ops 7

• Recover health and revive allies faster.

Recovering health at a faster rate and being able to revive faster is always a bonus, but being able to cheat death? That’s unparalleled. Equivalent Exchange is great, but only for those with a Ray Gun or Pack-a-Punch Pistol that they can use to deal damage while downed, otherwise, use Dying Wish instead. This Major allows you to revive yourself with all your Perks, including Quick Revive, whereas Dying Wish would remove them and place you on 1 HP.

For the Minors, it’s mainly about co-op gameplay. Slow Death helps to allow you to stay in last stand longer, but a co-op-friendly addition like Karmic Return helps you stay alive by rewarding you with full health after you manage to pull off a revive.

Best Augments for Jugger-Nog in Black Ops 7

Jugger-Nog increases your maximum health, and this is made even greater with Iron Core, a Major Augment that increases your total health to 350 when you run out of armor plates, which you will in the higher rounds, so this provides you with essentially a few extra free hits.

For the Minor Augments, Hardened Plates and Durable Plates work in perfect harmony, as they both increase the strength of the armor plates, and the damage that they mitigate to ensure your health isn’t impacted as much.

Best Augments for Melee Macchiato in Black Ops 7

• Replace weapon gun butt with a deadly punch.

Melee attacks are a tad finicky, and it’s likely that you’ll be trading hits with zombies. To stop this and hit them far faster, use Expresso as a Major Augment to increase the speed of your melee strikes for all weapons, including fists and Dedicated Melee Weapons.

As for the Minor Augment, Stick ‘n Move is essential, as backpedal speed means you can walk backwards and lead your train into your devastating melee attacks far faster. Barista Brawl is also a great Minor Augment for allowing you to get more Essence.

Best Augments for Speed Cola in Black Ops 7

• Reload weapons and replate armor faster.

With a nice 30% increase to reload speed and manual armor re-plating, Speed Cola can be very useful, but it’s made further useful with Classic Formula, so that your reload speed is even quicker, ensuring you will never be on an empty magazine.

For the Minor Augment, we picked Fast Pitcher to ensure we can deploy equipment faster and stay on the move, while Prestidigitation becomes useful simply because the chance to not use stock ammo means you spend less time running empty.

Best Augments for Vulture Aid in Black Ops 7

• Increase the variety of loot dropped by enemies.

Vulture Aid isn’t too great, but it will increase the variety and commonness of loot drops from defeated enemies, including Armor Plates. With that in mind, use Armor-matic as the Major Augment, as it means you will never have to manually apply Armor Plates as this Augment does it for you immediately.

With Minor Augments like Picky Eater, you’ll have a near-infinite supply of your favorite Equipment simply by killing zombies, and Carrion Luggage helps to ensure you always have extra salvage to upgrade weapons and purchase more scorestreaks.

Best Augments for Death Perception in Black Ops 7

• Obscured enemies are outlined.

Death Perception is a rather useless perk, but with the addition of the Sixth Sense Major Augment, you will take less damage from behind, which is great for hoarding trains and combining with Jugger-Nog’s Turtle Shell.

Additionally, use Bird’s Eye View to increase the minimap scan rate as a Minor Augment, meaning you can see more enemies on the minimap like a UAV on steroids, and Hidden Gems is a minor addition that makes loot more visible.

Best Augments for PhD Flopper in Black Ops 7

• Explosive dive to prone and immunity to self-inflicted explosive damage

PhD Flopper is extremely useful for high rounds, in part due to the Major Augment, Double Whammy, which allows you to create a second explosion after the first for even more damage simply by jumping and flopping around.

Paired with Stuntman, this becomes exceptional, as Wall Jumping now creates explosions too. You can also combine this with the EOD Technician Minor Augment to ensure that there’s less height needed to create these mega bombs.

Best Augments for Mule Kick in Black Ops 7

• Carry a 3rd primary weapon.

Mule Kick is useful for those who want a 3rd gun for some reason, but it’s the Augments that shine the most. With Free Throw, you have a chance to keep equipment when used, which is basically a free Kazimir or Monkey Bomb.

Mule Kick also allows you to carry +1 of any equipment thanks to Fully Equipped, and Plate Hunter allows you to carry 4 total armor plates to ensure you’re always stacked and ready for the next fight.

Best Augments for Deadshot Daiquiri in Black Ops 7

• Improve ADS precision and increase Critical Damage of bullets.

Increased Critical Damage is always a lovely thing to see for sharpshooters, but even if you don’t aim for the head, Dead Point becomes great for allowing bonus damage at Point Blank range, which is assured in high rounds with sprinting zombies.

This damage is further increased with Dead Preak to make bullets deal more damage against armor pieces, and Dead Heat ensures that those Point Blank kills reward faster movement speed.

Best Augments for Double Tap in Black Ops 7

• Increase weapon fire rate.

Increasing a weapon’s rate of fire is great, but by using Double Dealer as a Major Augment, you’re also increasing the damage by double with every fourth bullet. This means for any weapon with 4+ bullets in a magazine, at least one of those bullets is dealing an amazing double damage.

This is paired well with Double Time to further increase the weapon fire rate to ensure you’re hitting Double Dealer faster, and with Double Play, you’re going to have the DPS to kill 2 enemies in quick succession to reward yourself with more ammo in your magazine.

Best Augments for Elemental Pop in Black Ops 7

• Attacks can trigger random Ammo Mods.

Elemental Pop is a tad risky, simply because it makes your weapons fire random Ammo Mods. With Citrus Focus as a Major Augment, this risk is mitigated by allowing you to focus only on the Ammo Mod you have on your weapon from The Arsenal.

Paired with Chill Berry, you can get this Ammo Mod to proc far quicker than normal, and Vulnera Bean also helps to ensure that enemy Elemental Weakness damage is increased so that they fall faster.

Best Augments for Wisp Tea in Black Ops 7

• Summon a companion wisp after killing zombies.

Wisp Tea is a versatile perk in which players can damage zombies to summon a wisp, which acts as a companion that will attack zombies or help you, based on the augments you use, every 2 minutes. For the Major Augment, we decided to use Mask of Benevolence, as it summons a Maiden to heal you. This is useful as it doesn’t disrupt zombie trains by killing them, and instead, allows you to get health back if you’re in a pinch.

For the Minor Augment, we went with Haste so that we can summon the Wisp more often, as this reduces the cooldown, and we selected Extension so that the Wisp can stick around for a little longer. Even if the healing isn’t great, it’s better than having it kill zombies to ruin trains and point farms.
