Augments are special upgrades and modifiers you can research and attach to your Perk-a-Colas, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies. Once you reach Level 11, you can research these Augments. After researching them, you can equip Augments to improve your perks and equipment performance in-game. You should also know that the augment research carries over from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, so anything you have researched earlier does not need to be researched again for this game. This Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies Augments Guide lists all 192 Augments available for research in the game.
