Speed Cola



"Whoo, faster reloads are well worth the money spent!"

- Robert McNamara "Living the fast life. That's the way I roll!"

Speed Cola is a Perk-a-Cola featured in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II in the Zombies game mode. Speed Cola is similar to the multiplayer perk Sleight of Hand, mirroring its effect of decreasing the time it takes to reload by 50%.

Speed Cola costs 3000 points, making it the second most expensive Perk-a-Cola (along with Vulture Aid) and behind Mule Kick. Its effect is most useful and noticeable on weapons with slow reload times, such as light machine guns, shotguns, and wonder weapons, but due to its high cost, it is ill-advised to purchase without Juggernog unless in dire need. The vending machine from which Speed Cola is purchased has a green and white color scheme. The color for this perk is green, and the icon is a hand holding a gun magazine, similar to the Sleight of Hand perk. Speed Cola appears in every Zombies map excluding Nacht der Untoten, Bus Depot (Survival Mode) and Dead Ops Arcade.

Appearance
The Speed Cola machine is large, with a green and white paint job. On the front of the machine, the quote "Drink Speed Cola" and "Ice Cold" is emblazed on it. Under the quote, there is a coin slot. There are 6 compartments for holding bottles, but holds only 3 bottles. This doesn't change if a player buys this perk. On the top of the machine is a circle with the Speed Cola emblem.

General

 * Richtofen and Takeo show a particular fondness for this perk as they constantly praise its taste.
 * The bottles the machine dispenses say Sleight of Hand Soda instead of Speed Cola.
 * Excluding Nacht der Untoten and Bus Depot (Survival), Speed Cola is the only one of the original perks to be featured in every map that perks appear in, making it the most represented perk.
 * In Call of Duty: World at War, when drinking Speed Cola, the hand is misaligned to the right when the icon appears on the HUD (confirmed on the PlayStation 3). However, in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the hand is correctly centered.
 * Although there are multiple green colored perk machines, Speed Cola is the only one that dispenses a green drink.

Call of Duty: World at War

 * There are three bottles visible inside the machine, however when the perk is bought, the bottles do not move.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

 * In Shangri-La, Nikolai comments that the perk is "spicy".
 * In Call of the Dead, the machine appears to be floating in the water as it is not touching the ground.
 * This perk speeds up hacking speed for the Hacker.
 * Speed Cola speeds up the process in building the barriers in Call of Duty: Black Ops. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

 * Richtofen remarks in Green Run that he misses Speed Cola, as evidenced when Samuel approaches the machine with the power on.
 * According to Russman in Green Run, Speed Cola has the ability to cure arthritis.
