Bullets infused with the Light Mend ammo mod deal Light elemental damage, offering more than just offensive power.

Each shot has a chance to convert the health of normal or special enemies into a healing glyph. These glyphs automatically seek out and restore health to nearby injured teammates or yourself, adding a unique layer of support to your arsenal.

This can be used in all three Zombies maps and can be equipped alongside other ammo mods at the Arsenal Machine, provided you select it before deployment. This flexibility ensures you can tailor your loadout to suit any map or team strategy.

The Light Mend ammo mod can be unlocked as part of the Merry Mayhem event in Black Ops 6. To secure this powerful upgrade, you’ll need to accumulate a total of 68,000 XP by playing matches in Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone.

Best Augments for the Light Mend ammo mod

For the Major Augment, we highly recommend Dual Action, which grants a temporary boost to your healing rate whenever you consume a healing glyph.

This can be a lifesaver, especially when you’re surrounded by a relentless horde of zombies, allowing you to recover quickly and stay in the fight.

Additionally, we suggest equipping Extra Strength for increased healing potency from each glyph. This Augment amplifies the restorative effect, making it indispensable in later rounds when enemy damage ramps up significantly and survival becomes more challenging.

When paired together, the Light Mend ammo mod with Dual Action and Extra Strength creates a robust setup that’s incredibly beneficial for solo runs. The enhanced healing capabilities allow you to sustain yourself even in high-pressure situations, making it easier to manage large waves of enemies and progress through the tougher stages of the game.

For team play, this setup can also double as a clutch support option, helping you keep the squad alive while contributing to the offense.
