Stamin-Up Jingle

"Woah, ok, that was sour!"

- Tank Dempsey

Stamin-Up is a Perk-a-Cola featured in the game mode Zombies. It was introduced along with PhD Flopper on the map Ascension. It returns in Call of the Dead, Shangri-La, and Moon.

It has 2 effects, one of which is the standard version of Marathon perk from multiplayer, giving the player twice the amount of sprint endurance. The other effect is similar to Lightweight from multiplayer, but is deceptively different. Instead of gaining the 7% speed increase of Lightweight, Stamin-Up actually makes the player's weapon lighter, allowing them to sprint at the same speed as they would with a lighter weapon such as a Pistol or the Ballistic Knife with a heavy weapon such as an HK21 or RPK. Therefore, Stamin-Up is much more useful when the player has a heavy weapon rather than a lighter weapon as the speed increase is almost unnoticeable with light weapons.

The perk costs 2000 points. This perk is most useful when the player will be running around the map either as their strategy or if they are in danger and being chased by a massive horde of zombies. Alternatively it is good when attempting to defend more than one Perk-a-Cola machine during a space monkey round. It also comes in handy if the player is playing on their own or in a small team or if one is trying to avoid George A. Romero.

 * Ascension - Located past the gates to the left of the upper spawn door. It is in the back of the alleyway past the door leading to the launch pad near the AK-74u and next to a spawn point of the Mystery Box on the left.


 * Call of the Dead - Behind the lighthouse and inside an abandoned house.


 * Shangri-La - Will spawn randomly in one of the rooms underground (changes spawn with PhD Flopper, Double Tap and Deadshot Daiquiri).
 * Moon - In the second room of Tunnel 11, to the left of the Semtex.

Trivia

 * The perk's name is a play on words of 7-Up, the popular soda, and the word 'stamina'.
 * According to the characters, Stamin-Up has a sour taste.
 * Even though the perk machine says that it's available in multiple colors, such as purple, blue, red, orange, yellow, and green (coincidentally, all the colors of every other available perk before its release), the player can only receive the yellow colored drink.
 * The shape for the Stamin-Up perk machine has looks similar to the removed perk machine Amm-O-Matic.
 * According to Dempsey, Stamin-Up tastes like "lemon lime with a twist of gasoline."
