Space Monkey

Space Monkeys are new enemies that appear in the map Ascension, where they steal the players' perks in the form of attacking Perk-a-Cola machines. They replace the Hellhounds on this map. The space monkeys will attack a perk machine until the player loses his/her perk. Once the machine has been disabled you must rebuy the perk.Therefore, it would seem that the effect of Perks are linked to either the machines or the monkeys. If the players successfully kill all monkeys without having any machines attacked then they will occasionally drop a mystery cola at the end of a round, giving the player a random perk.

Trivia

 * When the monkey round start they appear to fall from the sky like if they were in escape pods.
 * Space monkeys have different colored space suits; these include red, silver, and green, as well as other colors not clearly identifiable in the First Strike trailer. It is unknown what the differences in behavior or abilities these suits indicate.
