"Ah, the power of a third arm. I know it well!"

- Edward Richtofen

Mule Kick is a Perk-a-Cola that is featured in the game mode Zombies. It was introduced in the Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies map Moon. It allows the player to hold three guns at once. It costs 4000 points to buy, making it the most expensive Perk-a-Cola available to date. When purchased, the player will not see any effect except for the symbol appearing on their HUD. When the player goes to buy their next weapon, the prompt will still state that taking it will replace the currently selected weapon, but in reality it will take its place in the third slot. The color of this perk is dark green (although the color of the drink is dark red) and the icon is three pistols, one behind the other.

If a player is downed whist this perk is in effect, or if a Space Monkey succeeds in removing it in Ascension, the player will lose the third weapon slot, and by extension, t he perk.

In the update that took place on September 27, 2011, Mule K ick is now available on all maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It came to PC along with Patch 1.15 on October 11. However, the player must be connected to PlayStation Network, Steam or Xbox LIVE for Mule Kick to appear on other maps than Moon.
