Call of Duty’s CODMAS 2024 introduces the Jingle Hells limited-time mode in Black Ops 6 Zombies, transforming Liberty Falls into a snowy battleground filled with holiday chaos and festive challenges.
Jingle Hells Mode Features
The Jingle Hells mode completely reimagines Zombies Liberty Falls, turning the iconic map into a winter wonderland. While Christmas trees and snowy landscapes add holiday cheer, the winter storm brings tactical challenges, disabling the Mystery Box, Crafting Table, and Arsenal Machines. Players must adapt to survive, using alternative festive tools and power-ups to conquer the undead.
Key Jingle Hells mode features include:
- GobbleGum Gifts: Earn the Holiday Cheer GobbleGum for festive buffs.
- Naughty or Nice Power-Up: Hunt for floating stockings—rewards include gifts or battles against Vermin enemies.
- Snowball Piles: Grab snowballs from scattered piles (up to five per pile) and use them to deal damage to zombies.
- Snowmen: Destroy Snowmen for a chance to earn presents or face enemy ambushes.
- Present Boxes: Eliminate zombies for the chance to receive wrapped presents with loot.
- Frozen Rounds: Movement is severely limited during certain rounds, adding tension and difficulty.
- S.A.M.T.A. Trials: A festive twist on the classic S.A.M. Trials, these challenges offer high-value rewards when successfully completed.
Adapting to Holiday Challenges
While the Jingle Hells mode adds rewards and wintery visuals, it also increases difficulty. Players must prepare for challenges, such as avoiding being “naughty” when interacting with Snowmen or stocking-based power-ups. For newer players, the S.A.M.T.A. Trials will be a vital mechanic, rewarding skills like successful Melee Macchiato punches or dolphin dives with PhD Flopper.
Unwrapping scattered presents during trials can also yield powerful items, boosting survival chances amidst the freezing rounds.
