Speed Cola



"Whoo, faster reload well worth the money spent!"

Speed Cola is a Perk-a-Cola in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II that is featured in the game mode Zombies. The military adopted it as a way to improve the reflexes and speed in soldiers who were in high zombie situations. Speed Cola is similar to the multiplayer perk Sleight of Hand, both of which decrease the time it takes to reload by 50%. It also increases the speed in which players repair windows by 60%.

It costs 3000 points to buy, making it the 2nd most expensive perk, 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, Tombstone, and/or Who's Who unless in dire need. The vending machine from which Speed Cola is purchased has a green and white color scheme. The colour 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 and Dead Ops Arcade.

 * In World at War, when drinking Speed Cola, the hand is misaligned to the right when the icon appears on the HUD (Confirmed on PS3). However, in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II, the hand is correctly centered.
