| “ | Legend tells us of a man, a hero in a tortured land, where Señoritas lived in fear. Their lonely nights in deep despair, he was EL BURRO! (Hee-Haw, Hee-Haw). Across the fields, across the plains. He ran so fast he dodged the rain. He was El Burro! He hurried in to save the day, gun in hand, and thrice they say. He was strong like a Mule, he was stubborn like a Mule, he even kicked like a Mule, El Burro! (El Burro!). A man not equal, so they say. But some and more, it's just the way! He was El Burro! He was EL BURRO! EL BURRO! (Hee-Haw, Hee-Haw).

Mule Kick (Shadows of Evil) Jingle
- "Ah, the power of a third arm. I know it well!"
- — Edward Richtofen
- "In what ways does this drink make me mule-like? Oh, it lets me carry more weapons. I was WAY off!"
- — Samuel J. Stuhlinger
Mule Kick is a Perk-a-Cola in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War featured in the Zombies mode and in Call of Duty Online's Cyborg Rising mode. It allows the player to carry three weapons at once.
Overview[]
It costs 4000 points to purchase. When purchased, the player will not see any effect except for the symbol appearing on their HUD. When the player goes to buy their next weapon, the prompt will still state that taking it will replace the currently selected weapon, but in reality it will take its place in the third slot. The color of this perk is dark green (although the color of the drink is dark red) and the icon is three pistols, one behind the other from bottom to top.
If a player is downed whilst this perk is in effect, or if a Space Monkey succeeds in removing it in Ascension, the player will lose the perk, and as a result, the third weapon slot.
Starting from the September 27, 2011 patch, Mule Kick is now available on all maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It came to PC along with Patch 1.15 on October 11th, 2011. However, the player must be connected to PlayStation Network, Steam or Xbox LIVE for Mule Kick to appear on other maps than Moon.
The perk returned in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, unlocked at Level 38. It can also be obtained through Secret Sauce.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players can upgrade Mule Kick's effects with the use of Aetherium Crystals.
- Tier I - Crafted equipment grants an additional equipment if able.
- Tier II - All enemies have a small chance to drop ammo.
- Tier III - Stowed weapons slowly refill from stock.
- Tier IV - 25% chance to keep non-retrievable equipment when used.
- Tier V - 3rd primary weapon is recovered when repurchasing Mule Kick.

Appearance[]
The Mule Kick machine has a large, bizarre shape with a red, white, and green paint job. The machine is on a white pedestal. On the front of the machine are red painted dots and ammo belts can be seen, and a sombrero, moustache and two crossed ammo belts can be seen on the red dispenser with the words "Uno mas!!" at the bottom of it. On the left of that are 6 empty bottle compartments aligned vertically. At the top is a quote that says "Mule Kick" and a small price that quotes "10¢" on the right of it. Above that is a circular sign with the Mule Kick icon on it.
In Black Ops Cold War, the machine retains a similar shape while being fairly unique in appearance. The largest difference from this machine and the original is the fact that there is an animal skull at the top of the machine, as well as the machine being adorned with various firearms (specifically, the LW3-Tundra, XM4, Hauer 77 and Magnum). Another major difference is the middle of the machine, which now has a saloon-style swinging door in the middle (as well as a star carved out in the door). The machine also now serves cans instead of bottles.
Call of Duty Online[]
Mule Kick appears in Cyborg Rising mode of Call of Duty Online, translated as Slaughter Tool Cola. It is exclusive to the character Cowboy, and is awarded to the player after surviving six rounds.
