Elemental Pop is a Perk-a-Cola in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 featured in the Zombies mode. Elemental Pop is the first new Perk-a-Cola to be introduced in the Dark Aether Saga.
Overview[]
When acquired by the player, Elemental Pop grants a small chance to apply a random Ammo Mod effect to the players next attack. This effect is only applied to the players Firearms and Melee Weapons and cannot activate on Equipment or Streak utilized by the player.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the ammo mod activated will be the base version of the mod with no upgrades, regardless of any progress a player has made on it. In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 the activated ammo mod will reflect whatever Major and Minor Augments are equipped to it.
In all games, after the Ammo Mod is triggered, there will be a short cooldown before another random Ammo Mod can trigger.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players can upgrade Elemental Pop' effects with the use of Aetherium Crystals.
- Tier I - Equipment damage also has a small chance to apply a random base Ammo Mod effect.
- Tier II - Reduced Ammo Mod cooldowns by 20%.
- Tier III - When random Ammo Mod is applied, it uses the Ammo Mod's current Skill Tier instead of the base.
- Tier IV - Increase enemy elemental weakness damage by 50%.
- Tier V - Reloading creates an electric damage discharge that damages and stuns nearby normal enemies. The more empty the magazine, the stronger the damage.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Elemental Pop works exactly like the base effects of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. There upgrades are not available.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Elemental Pop can be imbued with two out of six possible Augments. Players can equip one Major Augment and one Minor Augment at a time.
| Major Augment | |
|---|---|
|
Citrus Focus: If a weapon has an Ammo Mod applied, Elemental Pop will only activate that one. |
|
Imperial Peach: Enemies that hit you have a chance to trigger a random Ammo Mod. |
|
Electric Cherry: Reloading creates an electric damage discharge that damages and stuns nearby normal enemies. The emptier the magazine, the stronger the damage. |
| Minor Augment | |
|
