A Perk-a-Cola (Perk for short) is a feature in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: ZOMBIES, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III, on the maps Nacht der Untoten (Black Ops version only) Verrückt, Shi No Numa, Der Riese, Kino der Toten, "Five", Ascension, Call of the Dead, Shangri-La, Moon, TranZit, Town, Farm, Nuketown Zombies, Die Rise, Mob of the Dead, Cell Block, Buried, Borough (Grief only), Origins, Shadows of Evil, The Giant, Der Eisendrache, Zetsubou No Shima, Gorod Krovi, and Revelations.

These appear in vending machines and they each are priced between 500 to 4000 points to purchase. On most maps, these would spawn in fixed locations of the maps Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt, Der Riese, Kino der Toten, "Five", Ascension, Call of the Dead, Shangri-La (except Juggernog and Speed Cola), Moon (Except Juggernog and Speed Cola), TranZit, Town, Farm, Mob of the Dead, Cell Block, Buried, Origins, Der Eisendrache, Gorod Krovi, and Revelations. On Shi No Numa, Shangri-La (Juggernog and Speed Cola), Moon (Juggernog and Speed Cola), Nuketown Zombies, Die Rise, Shadows of Evil, The Giant, and Zetsubou No Shima, they would spawn randomly along with other machines, sometimes along with the Pack-a-Punch machine. Perks can also be obtained via a Random Perk Bottle or the GobbleGum Perkaholic. When downed, players would lose all of their Perks, unless they obtained the Focusing Stone, completed Richtofen's Grand Scheme, use Tombstone Soda and kill themselves and respawn, revive themselves with Who's Who, complete the Maxis side of Mined Games, have the Tombstone persistent upgrade, or have an Aftertaste or Near Death Experience (or was revived by) GobbleGum. There are 13 Perk-a-Colas in total, however, players can only limit themselves to four Perks, unless special methods are used.

In Solo (not available on World at War and ZOMBIES), it costs 500 points, with three uses maximum, and it revives the player, who will be armed with a Mustang and Sally in Black Ops and Black Ops II (except Origins), a Mustang in Black Ops Zombies, a Boomhilda in Origins, a Meatwagon in Shadows of Evil, or Death and Taxes in all other Black Ops III maps, unless the player has a pistol in their inventory with ammo. Falling off the map would result in all Perks lost, but not weapons.

Who's Who

Who's Who Emblem

Who's Who is a Perk introduced in the map Die Rise and is exclusive to that map only. This Perk spawns a doppelganger/ghost of the player after they down, arming them with an M1911, two M67 Frag Grenades, a Knife, and two Claymores if the player bought them alive. The player would also have the number of points they had when downed, and they can purchase anything, but it won't affect what the "real" player has, thus removing all of the purchased items when revived, as well as returning all of the spent points. The player would have a chance to go revive their real selves in a certain time limit or complete the round to be automatically revived, or have another player revive the downed player. This Perk can be stacked with Quick Revive on Solo, giving the player limited time before being revived. Downing in this state would result in the game-ending. Falling out of the map with this Perk would cause the player to lose only this Perk and teleport back to the Spawn Area. Successfully reviving the "real" player or getting revived by another player would result in the player retaining all of their Perks, minus the Who's Who.

Trivia

  • In Verrückt, there is always an advertisement for a Perk-a-Cola machine near another Perk-A-Cola machine.
  • When downed, the player will lose all their Perks-a-Colas (Unless they were obtained through various Easter egg, using Aftertaste or being revived using Pheonix up)
  • After buying a Perk-a-Cola, a small jingle will play.
  • In CoD: World at War, the Wunderwaffe (Pack-A-Punched or not), Hitting yourself with it glitches your Juggernog and resets your health to the normal, despite the symbol is still at the bottom of your screen. The player will then only need two hits from zombies or three from hellhounds to get downed if this happens. Falling from certain heights like the catwalk at Teleporter C in Der Riese will also down the player. The only cure is to down yourself and buy Juggernog again.
  • In Verrückt, an on-screen prompt will tell you how much any given perk costs, but in Shi No Numa, a sticker on the machine itself displays the price.
  • If you prone under a Perk-A-Cola machine in Der Riese you will get 25 points for free. This only works on each Perk-A-Cola machine once and is a little joke from Treyarch about how sometimes you can get a quarter under the machine. However, the amount of points you get differs between the map for World at War and the one for Black Ops. In World at War, doing this to any of the four will give you 30 points (even though it says you got 25), whereas, in Black Ops version of Der Riese, you would actually get 25 points, as it would say. However, Mule Kick does not grant any points.
  • Sometimes when one of the machines plays its jingle the same jingle can be heard at the other machines as well.
  • On Der Riese, Quick Revive is the only perk that cannot be purchased immediately after activating the power, as it is behind a door that has to be bought openly. Juggernog, Speed Cola, and Double Tap can all be found after activating the power without having to open any extra doors.
  • These machines are powered by Element 115.
  • The Speed Cola machine shows three green bottles on the side, however, when you buy one, it doesn't take one-off.
  • When Shi No Numa is loading, in the bottom left corner of the screen the two 'brought to you by..." companies showed are Treyarch and "Jugger-Nog Soda."
  • When your character throws the bottle away, even if you stand in one place, the bottle doesn't appear on the ground.
  • If you run into the perk machines, you can hear the bottles move around.
  • Mule Kick is the only perk machine in Nacht Der Untoten.
  • The Gobblegum Perkaholic will give you all the perks currently on that map
  • Juggernog works differently in WaW than the other games. Juggernog used to not change your base health, but instead would increase your health regeneration to a extremelyhigh amount. You could absolutely be mauled by a zombie but still survive, and because of how overpowered it was, Treyarch nerfed it for the future games giving to 4 hit limit.
