Black Ops 6: Every Perk-a-Cola, Ranked

As someone who’s spent countless hours battling the undead hordes in the Black Ops series, I can confidently say that these Perks are absolute game-changers for any Zombies enthusiast!

Upon the launch of Black Ops 6 Zombies, a total of 8 Perk-a-Colas will be dispersed across Liberty Falls and Terminus. These Perks can aid players in reaching higher rounds and potentially conquering the challenging main quests that lie ahead. The top-tier Perk-a-Colas in Black Ops 6 might require a substantial amount of Essence, but their benefits will undoubtedly prove invaluable in the long run.

In contrast to previous Call of Duty games before Black Ops Cold War, Black Ops 6 offers players the opportunity to acquire all Perks, not just four. With eight Perks on offer and a generous supply of Essence, the question arises: Which Perk should be bought first in Black Ops 6, and how do the others compare?

8 Melee Macchiato

A Heavy yet Powerful Melee Strike

Black Ops 6: Every Perk-a-Cola, Ranked

Replaces weapon gun butt with a deadly punch.

In Black Ops 6, the latest unique Perk introduced is called Melee Macchiato. Instead of the traditional wall-buys like the Bowie Knife, this Perk attempts to swap things up with melee weapons, but it hasn’t quite caught on. To use Melee Macchiato, players engage in a series of punches with zombies, but as rounds increase, players end up taking more hits than they can afford.

Melee Macchiato could be significantly enhanced by facilitating quicker melee attacks and integrating it seamlessly with a melee weapon. However, swapping out the swift gun butt for a slow, powerful punch may not be the best choice for extended rounds, even if the resulting ragdoll physics are amusing.

7 Elemental Pop

Random Chance for an Ammo Mod Effect

Attacks can trigger random Ammo Mods.

Elemental Pop functions only on weapons lacking an existing Ammo Mod, making it a convenient opportunity to conserve Salvage for future weapon upgrades. Keep in mind though, Elemental Pop’s effects are unpredictable, so the desired Ammo Mod may not appear right away.

Additionally, players could end up with an Ammo Mod that’s practically ineffective compared to superior ones, and it can be quite frustrating to find yourself afflicted with Brain Rot just when there are barely any zombies left, necessitating a fresh round.

6 Stamin-Up

Run Faster and Longer

Increase movement speed.

Stamin-Up is a well-known feature that lets gamers dash swiftly across the game map while their stamina recharges more quickly. This is particularly advantageous in expansive maps such as Terminus and Liberty Falls, as it prevents players from being slowed down. Yet, it’s essential to note that Stamin-Up doesn’t lessen a player’s weight, and the movement retains a somewhat heavy feel when players aren’t sprinting or wielding a melee weapon.

Despite Stamin-Up remaining an excellent benefit to have, the significance of its increased movement speed seems less valuable compared to the attention Tactical Sprint is receiving in the game currently.

5 Speed Cola

Faster Reloads and Armor Replacement

Reload weapons and replace armor faster.

Speed Cola, making a comeback in Black Ops 6, serves as a timeless Perk that significantly quickens the reloading speed of weapons for players. Moreover, it provides an additional benefit: when armor is destroyed, players can utilize armor plates as substitutes, a feature particularly useful for players who are nearly defeated by just one strike or Mangler Cannon impact.

In this scenario, Speed Cola proves extremely useful as the speed at which zombies move is quite alarming. Consequently, players will find themselves perpetually on the move, honing their skills, and making full use of quick reload techniques to ensure they’re always prepared with an offensive strategy.

4 Deadshot Daiquiri

Auto-Aim to the Head with Extra Critical Damage

Improves ADS precision and increases critical damage.

In the initial stages, Deadshot Daiquiri was often considered a weak Perk. However, as Black Ops 6 arrived, Deadshot Daiquiri’s reputation significantly improved and it became one of the top choices among players. This is due to two key factors: firstly, controller users benefit from an auto-aim feature that targets the enemy’s head; secondly, these players experience increased critical hit damage with this Perk.

Players will significantly profit from an enhancement in critical damage, since as the game progresses (or rounds increase), the zombies become increasingly aggressive. Consequently, inflicting higher damage during the later rounds becomes essential, especially when the useful Double Tap is absent.

3 Quick Revive

Faster Revive and Health Regen

Recover health and revive allies faster.

It’s always tough when an ally falls, especially when they are overrun by zombies and can’t be brought back. However, with the help of Quick Revive, the revival process is sped up significantly, enabling them to retain their abilities and not start a new round without their gear.

Once again, Quick Revive has been improved and now offers even more advantages for players. Now, they can restore their health at a faster rate, which is particularly useful after taking a hit during higher rounds. This means that players won’t have to wait long before recovering from their injuries and jumping back into the game without having to worry about losing health again.

2 PhD Flopper

Immune to Explosive Damage and Have an Explosive Dive

Explosive dive to prone and immunity to self-inflicted explosive damage.

In the original Black Ops, the character PhD Flopper was significantly too powerful upon its release, making it absent for a long time in subsequent releases. Fortunately, with the reintroduction of the dolphin dive and full mobility, PhD Flopper has made a comeback, improved even more, albeit without the ability to withstand fall damage anymore.

PhD Flopper detonates potent explosives from great heights, capable of instantly eliminating zombies based on the jump’s distance. Yet, the most captivating aspect of PhD Flopper isn’t just this destructive power; it’s his unique ability to withstand self-inflicted explosive damage. This enables players to wield weapons like a Ray Gun or Sally & Forth in close combat without fear of being killed by their own explosions.

1 Jugger-Nog

Increase Max Health to 250

Increase maximum health.

In Black Ops 6 Zombies, players find themselves with only 150 HP without Jugger-Nog. This implies that on higher rounds, they might be quickly defeated with just three or even fewer hits, especially if they encounter the fearsome Manglers and Amalgams. However, Jugger-Nog steps in to provide much-needed assistance, maintaining its position as the top Perk in Black Ops 6 Zombies, just as it does in all other games.

Jugger-Nog offers players an initial health pool of 250 points, which can be boosted up to 300 points with appropriate enhancements. Essentially, Jugger-Nog serves as a formidable entity, allowing players to absorb more damage and reduce incoming attacks even further by equipping armor, thereby significantly enhancing the sense of security within the game.
