The holiday season gets a chilling twist with the return of Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies. This festive, limited-time mode (LTM) brings holiday cheer mixed with the usual terrifying zombie chaos, offering a unique experience for players during the 2024 holiday season.
Jingle Hells, first seen in Black Ops Cold War, transforms the Liberty Falls map into a frosty, unnerving winter wonderland. Here’s everything you need to know about the event, from its start date to the exciting new features and challenges awaiting you.
What is Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies?
Jingle Hells is a holiday-themed take on the classic Zombies mode, adding a festive atmosphere and unique mechanics to the game. Players can expect new objectives, chilling surprises, and rewards to make this mode one of the most entertaining (and deadly) holiday experiences. Below are some of the standout features:
1. Main Quest Challenges
The Main Quest returns with additional challenges. Unlike the standard quest, you won’t have access to the Arsenal and Crafting Tables, making completing objectives much trickier. However, completing the quest rewards players with the usual prizes, adding an extra layer of challenge to the festive chaos.
2. Festive Audio and Visuals
The holiday spirit is alive and well in Jingle Hells, with custom holiday-themed sounds and visuals enhancing the atmosphere. Look to the skies—festive jingles might be ringing out from unexpected places, further immersing you in the holiday horror.
3. Holiday Cheer GobbleGum
A key feature of the event is the Holiday Cheer GobbleGum, a special item exclusive to this LTM. Players can acquire this GobbleGum through gameplay, offering a range of powerful effects to help you survive the holiday onslaught.
4. Snowball Piles
Snowballs aren’t just for throwing—they’re an essential part of Jingle Hells. Scattered around the map, snowball piles let players collect these icy projectiles to freeze enemies in their tracks. Players can hold up to five snowballs at a time, making them an excellent strategy for crowd control.
5. Naughty or Nice Power-Up
Naughty or Nice power-ups appear in large floating stockings around the map. Depending on your behavior, you could receive rewards or trigger a horde of Vermin zombies. It’s a risky gamble that adds a bit of festive fun to the chaos.
6. Deceptive Snowmen
Don’t trust everything that looks cute in Jingle Hells. Snowmen are scattered across Liberty Falls, and while they may seem cheerful, they hold secrets. Destroying them can spawn zombies or drop valuable loot, so be on the lookout for these deceptive figures.
7. Present Boxes
During combat, zombies can drop gift boxes containing all sorts of rewards. These holiday-themed prizes can give you the edge you need, whether through weapons, power-ups, or other valuable resources.
8. S.A.M.T.A. Trials
The familiar Trial Machines are given a holiday makeover for Jingle Hells. Additionally, S.A.M.T.A. may drop extra presents near the machines, further enhancing the seasonal rewards. Keep an eye out as you enter the map to maximize your festive loot.
9. Frozen Rounds
One of the more dangerous features is the Frozen Rounds mechanic. A mysterious fog will appear during certain rounds, slowing down your movements and reactions. When the frost settles, it might be best to take shelter indoors and plan your next move carefully.
Jingle Hells Start Date and Time in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Treyarch has confirmed that Jingle Hells will be available starting Tuesday, December 17, 2024. The mode will go live at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (PT), so mark your calendars and get ready for some frosty, festive fun in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
A Festive Nightmare Awaits
