How to use Perk-A-Cola’s in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Perk-A-Cola can be purchased in Zombies using the Essence accrued throughout your run. The price of your next one will increase each time you purchase a new Cola.

Like previous entries in the franchise, players can expect to lose all their earned Perk-A-Cola if they go down during a game. However, you’ll have the chance to rebuy them once they have enough Essence.

While these machines are typically all scattered across each Zombie map, there will be the chance to find the “infamous Der Wunderfizz Machine, offering all available Perks in a single, usually dangerous, location.”
