Perk-a-cola machines are fictional vending machines found in the Zombie levels Verrückt and Shi No Numa.
Juggernog
Juggernog is one of the first Perk-a-cola machines on the left sides of the level, it increases your health, meaning that it takes more than 2 zombie slashes to down you. This actually increases it to about 6 slashes, which is very important in most scenarios. Such as past the double-digit levels. According to the machine, the nog is made with real eggs and the catch-phrase is "Take a tug on that sweet, sweet Jugg." This is also the only Perk-a-cola machine not shown in the trailer.
Quick Revive Soda
Quick revive soda is one of the first perk-a-cola machines on the right side of the level. As said by the machine, it's ice cold. Also, it's the only perk-a-cola machine not based off the tier 2 perks from multiplayer. It allows you to revive people faster, which is essential in later levels when people are going to be downed INCREDIBLY often and reviving team-mates in crucial in zombie infested environments marked as "No-man's land". It's 1500 points.
According to the characters (see Shi No Numa/quotes), this perk apparently tastes like fish.
Double Tap Root Beer
Unlike most, this is the most common Perk-a-cola to get, but also one of the most useless. It increases rate of fire and Bouncing Betty speed like "Double Tap", however most weapons are at the peak of their ROF (Rate of fire). It is bought most often since the left side of the map is usually quicker to access. The right side usually waits until the left side is done. Double tap root beer is the easiest to get to in that case.
Speed Cola
Speed Cola is based off the perk "Sleight of Hand" and is incredibly useful in later levels where reloading an LMG takes a long time. It also allows you to put up barriers even faster. This, combined with every other perk, will ultimately lead to success.
Trivia
- In the "Zombie Verrückt" level, there is always an advertisement for a Perk-a-cola machine near another Perk-A-Cola machine.
- When downed, you will loose all your perks, which usually leads to people buying "Juggernog" first, just so they can live as long as possible with the other perks they have.
- After buying a Perk-a-cola, a small jingle will play.
- Every Perk-A-Cola machine in Zombie Verrückt states that one bottle will cost 10 cents. But in Shi No Numa it states how many points each one costs
- It is unknown why cola machines are in an Asylum deep in Germany, nor why they are also in a swamp in the Pacific.
- One of the posters has a picture of a face on it, which could be a member of the Treyarch team.
- In Zombie Verrückt, an on-screen prompt will tell you how much any given perk-a-cola costs when you approach a machine, but in Shi No Numa, a sticker on the machine itself displays the price.
- Unlike in Verruckt, where the vending machines' locations were fixed, the perk-a-cola machines in Shi No Numa will be randomly generated in each of the four huts.
