The Vermin is an enemy featured in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies maps Terminus, Liberty Falls, Citadelle des Morts, The Tomb, and Shattered Veil. Within Liberty Falls, they appear as a replacement for the Max Ammo wave enemies. They can also appear within normal rounds as an infrequent enemy, either by a normal spawn or by spawning themselves from the corpses of freshly killed standard undead, this however cannot occur if the zombie is killed via a critical kill.
Overview
Vermins are arachnid in design, possessing a maw like mouth underside their zombified head, and are weak to the Cryofreeze Ammo Mod, a weakness they pass onto Parasites if the player leaves one alive for long enough to transform into one. Vermin are also able to traverse on walls alongside being rather fast, being able to keep pace with a running player.
A Vermin is also featured in the "Who's A Good Boy?" Emote, as part of the Tracer Pack: Dark Practitioner Reactive bundle. They also appear within Multiplayer in the Infected game mode.
