Random Perk Bottle

"Random Perk Bottle," or more commonly known as simply "Bottle" is a new power-up featured in the Zombie map Ascension, as part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops "First Strike DLC" package. It appears as a glowing bottle similar to a Perk-A-Cola or Molotov Cocktail. It can be obtained similarly to the Bonfire Sale in "Five". During Space Monkey rounds in Ascension, monkeys will attempt to destroy the Perk-a-Cola Machines. If all of the monkeys appear to be dead without getting a perk stolen the player will be awarded with a Perk Bottle along with Max Ammo. The Random Perk Bottle power-up gives all living players a random perk at no cost to the point total, making it a hit-or-miss power-up in the case that the player could get a free Juggernog or other helpful perk, or get a perk that is useless in a particular situation (Stamin-Up in a tight space for example).

Tips/Notes

 * This power up becomes extremely effective on later rounds allowing the player to have a perk with no cost.
 * This is the only power-up (excluding any power-ups in Nacht der Untoten) that the Demonic Announcer does not state a line upon acquiring it. This is most likely because the Max Ammo phrase would overlap with the Random Perk Bottle dialog.
 * Due to the four perk cap, the Random Perk Bottle power-up could effectively ruin a strategy by giving the player an unwanted perk and using up a slot. However, if a player receives this power-up while already having four perks, the player will be granted a fifth perk, therefore allowing them to have every perk on the map.
 * It may be hard to see the Random Perk Bottle due to its close proximity to the Max Ammo.
 * A similar power up is in custom PC maps.
 * It is completely randomized on which perk the player gets, but is also based on what perk the player already has. as one cannot aquire 2 of the same perks without losing them first by getting downed.
