In the challenging landscape of Black Ops 6 Zombies, players now face a new threat: Shock Mimics, introduced in the Season 2 map, The Tomb. These formidable foes bring an additional level of challenge, making the journey to conquer high rounds even more difficult. Since their initial appearance in Black Ops Cold War, Mimics have posed significant challenges, and their new electric abilities demand a strategic approach for players to eliminate them effectively.
To successfully defeat Shock Mimics in Black Ops 6 Zombies, players must identify the optimal weaponry and understand which Ammo Mod can exploit their weaknesses. This insight is crucial for minimizing the chaos these enemies can unleash in The Tomb.
What Ammo Mod Are Shock Mimics Weak To?
Shock Mimics exhibit vulnerability exclusively to the Brain Rot Ammo Mod. While other Ammo Mods possess their unique advantages when paired with the right Augments, Brain Rot significantly amplifies the base damage inflicted on Shock Mimics. Hence, for an effective assault against these foes, utilizing a weapon equipped with Brain Rot in conjunction with the Deadshot Daiquiri perk is highly advisable. This combination allows players to achieve rapid headshots, resulting in impressive critical hit damage. Additionally, the Light Mend Ammo Mod proves useful, delivering a chance to inflict substantial health loss on Shock Mimics while providing support against Doppelghasts.
How to Effectively Combat Shock Mimics & Their Mechanics
Similar to Doppelghasts, Shock Mimics possess a comparable health pool, if not slightly higher. Players can successfully eliminate these enemies using high fire rate weaponry or explosives before they can reach melee range. An effective strategy entails attacking from a safe distance. The most effective weapons for neutralizing Shock Mimics include:
- The Staff of Ice for freezing effects
- The Sally & Forth explosive weapon for swift elimination
- An Assault Rifle enhanced with Pack-a-Punch for rapid fire targeting at their vulnerable open mouths
It’s essential to maintain a safe distance from Shock Mimics, as their close-range grab attack can inflict significant damage, potentially stripping players of one or two armor plates while other zombies continue to assault them. Additionally, Shock Mimics can attack from a distance using electrified orbs, complicating recovery and positioning efforts. When encountering loot on the ground, be cautious; Shock Mimics often disguise themselves as:
- Scorestreaks
- Aetherium Crystals
- Ammo Mods
- Aether Tools
- Perk-a-Cola cans
If a suspicious item catches your eye, consider taking a shot at it first. Engaging a Shock Mimic should take precedence over dealing with surrounding zombies, as they can disorient players and disrupt gameplay.
