Stamin-Up

"Woah, ok, that was sour!"

- Tank Dempsey

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

It has two effects, one which is the standard version of the perk Marathon from multiplayer, which gives the player twice the amount of sprint endurance. The other effect is identical to the perk Lightweight from multiplayer, giving a 7% speed increase. The color for this perk is yellow, and the icon is a man running at a high speed.

The perk costs 2000 points. It is most useful when the player will be running around the map as part of their strategy, or if they are in danger and being chased by a massive horde of zombies. Also, it is useful when attempting to defend more than one Perk-a-Cola machine during a Space Monkey round on Ascension. It is useful if one is trying to avoid George A. Romero, or revive a downed teammate. It is a useful perk to use in TranZit when running through the fog, as Denziens have a harder time trying to catch the player, and it is useful when being knocked off the bus, as one has a better chance of catching up to it.
