Power-Ups

"A gift from Sam? But why?!"

— Edward Richtofen

Power-Ups are an item in Treyarch's Zombies mode, Exo Zombies, Infinite Warfare Zombies mode, Nazi Zombies, Nightmares mode, and the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Power-Ups are generally items that can help players survive the zombie waves in maps. Each Zombies mode from the different Call of Duty developers utilize them in different ways. While Power-Ups generally assist players, they can occasionally be detrimental to their progress and should be used tactically to ensure survival in the zombie waves.

Zombies (Treyarch)[]

Power-Ups are generally large objects the hover above the ground where they spawn that have a glow depending on their effect. The Power-Ups are collected by making contact with the player, either by the player passing through them, or the player bringing the power-up to them. They spawn for about 20 seconds, before starting to blink in-and-out of existence when they are about to disappear without being activated. They normally make a noise when they are dropped, and can be heard making a low humming sound when there is one live in the map. The Demonic Announcer often announces the phrase when the power-up is activated but there are occasions where this doesn't happen (this includes the Random Perk Bottle, Tombstone, Blood Money in TranZit and Buried, or if the announcer is Ludvig Maxis as he doesn't speak in this role.

Active Power-Ups are represented by an icon at the bottom of a players screen. This icon will begin to flash when a Power-Up is coming to an end. From Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and on, this icon also includes a numbered timer.

Which Power-Up the player gets is not completely random. Every Power-Up is added to a cycle, once every Power-Up is gotten from the cycle, a new cycle will start, making sure the player gets an even spread of every Power-Up. The Random Perk Power-Up in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 serves as an exception to this, it is not added to the cycle until players have purchased a certain number of points, and even then it's drop chance is exceedingly rare.

Power-Ups come in four colors. Green Power-Ups have effects on the all players, Blue Power-Ups have effects on the player who picks it up, Red Power-Ups have a negative effect to humans or a positive effect on Zombies, and Purple Power-Ups only affect zombies.

Common Power-Ups[]

Insta-Kill
Double Points
Max Ammo
Nuke
Carpenter
Fire Sale
Death Machine
Random Perk
Bonus Points
Full Power
Max Armor

Main article: Insta-Kill

"Man up Zombies, it's time to die!"

— Tank Dempsey after getting Insta-Kill

Insta-Kill allows the player to instantly kill a zombie with one hit with any weapon/melee attack. This also includes any zombie hit with the blast radius of a grenade.

In the Call of Duty: World At War version of Nacht der Untoten, players are awarded 10 + 50 points for any kind of kills during the Insta-Kill duration. In Shi No Numa, players now earn 10 + 100 points instead.

In all Call of Duty: Black Ops maps the player will get 10 + [50/60/100/130] for [limb kill/torso kill/headshot/knife kill] respectively.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II a Persistent Upgrade can be unlocked that makes any Zombies that touch the player at all while Insta-kill is initially active die instantly.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and subsequent titles, it increases the damage dealt to Special and Elite class enemies, alongside making all damage deal the exact damage needed to kill a standard zombie at that round, regardless if it would normally deal more.

Main article: Double Points

"Double the honor!"

— Takeo Masaki on Double Point's effect

Double Points makes nearly all methods (with exceptions listed below) of earning points will earn double their regular value while this power-up is live. The exceptions to this are:

In Call of Duty: World at War, this doesn't apply to points earned from Nukes or Carpenter. This is fixed in Call of Duty: Black Ops versions of maps.
The 25 points you can find under Perk-a-Cola machines in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Hacking a player in Moon will give them 1000 points, while only deducting 500 points from your own score.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, there is a Persistent Upgrade called Half-Off that reduces purchase costs while Double Points is activate.

Main article: Max Ammo

"Why do I feel so heavy now?"

— Nikolai Belinski after getting his ammo back

^{Demonic Announcer}

noicon

Upon pick up, Max Ammo will immediately fill the player's weapons reserve ammo, and refill any grenades and tactical grenades they may have. It does not fill up the current magazine (with the exception of the upgraded Elemental Staffs in Origins). If a player is down when the pick up is activated, they will only receive ammo for their weapon while in the downed state.

In Call of Duty: World at War, it will not refill the players Bouncing Betties if they have placed both of them down. If they have only placed one, it will refill. This bug was fixed for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and games released after, Max Ammo also refills the magazine of weapons to maximum capacity. Within Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and games released after, Max Ammo loses the ability to restock grenades, tacticals and equipment.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Max Ammo could once again refill grenades and tacticals, but not Field Upgrades.

Main article: Nuke (Zombies)

"Ka-fucking Boom meatsacks!"

— Tank Dempsey following the nuke's carnage

^{Demonic Announcer}

noicon

Upon being picked up, a Nuke will kill all zombies that are spawned on the map, both inside and outside of bounds. All players are rewarded with 400 points after detonation, with the exception of Nacht der Untoten in Call of Duty: World at War. If the nuke destroys all the remaining zombies for the round, it will cause the current round to end and will not carry over any kills to the next round.

Zombies will be killed based on their proximity from the power-up, those further away will take a few seconds to die. While the zombies will still chase the player, they will no longer attack the player while they are waiting to die.

Main article: Carpenter

"The stake that sticks out, gets hammered down."

— Takeo Masaki activating Carpenter.

^{Demonic Announcer}

noicon

Upon activation, Carpenter will board up all windows instantly and all players are awarded 200 points after the windows board. Carpenter was first introduced in Der Riese and has been present in most Zombie maps until the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, when it was removed. In the remastered version of the World at War maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops III, carpenter was made available.

There is a Persistent Upgrade in Call of Duty: Black Ops II called Steel Carpenter, which will create stronger boards on windows. It is not affected by this power-up pick up.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 it also fully repairs a players Shield if it is damaged and equipped. In Call of Duty: Black Op Cold War, it gains the function to repair Armor.

Zombies cannot drop Carpenters unless 5 or more barriers are fully removed, the shield is built in Black Ops 4, or armor is gained in Black Ops Cold War.

Main article: Fire Sale

"If this were Russia, it would be free. Just be polite."

— Nikolai Belinski obtaining Fire Sale

When activated, Fire Sale spawns the Mystery Box at all available spawns and lowers the price to 10 points a spin. In order for the Fire Sale power-up to spawn, the Mystery Box must move from its initial spawn point by spinning the Teddy Bear (or equivalent on maps that have a different item in the box to move it). They cannot appear if a Fire Sale is already active, but can stack in Black Ops 2 and 3. This power-up was first introduced in Kino der Toten and "Five" as part of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

In an earlier version of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, it would lower the GobbleGum machines to 10 points and allow them all to be used. However, in a later patch it was made possible to use all the GobbleGum machines at once and a free GobbleGum per round.

Main article: Death Machine

"This thing's bigger than me?"

— Sarah Michelle Gellar getting a Death Machine

Upon activation, Death Machine grants the player who activates it a Death Machine for 30 seconds. It has unlimited ammo for the duration of its activation and can kill zombies quickly up until the 30s. In Black Ops 3, it could inflict infinite damage. It originally debuted in "Five" in Call of Duty: Black Ops and went on to feature in most maps after its introduction.

When equipped, the player is unable to make purchases or revive other players, and other death machines are prevented from spawning. They also cannot spawn until the power is activated or Quick Revive is bought on solo. This was the first power-up introduced to use a blue glow, to signify that its effect is for a single player rather than the whole team.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, while a player has it equipped they are unable to remove it until the time limit runs out. This was fixed in Call of Duty: Black Ops III by allowing a player to use the swap weapon button to remove it.

Death Machine was removed as a Power-Up starting in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 as the Overkill specialist weapon replaced it. In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Call of Duty: Black Op 7 it returned as a Scorestreak.

Main article: Random Perk

^{Forsaken Quote}

noicon

Upon activation, Random Perk grants all players a free, random Perk-a-Cola. It can be used to exceed the four perk limit imposed on maps until Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It made its debut in Ascension, which was the first map to introduce new perks after the original 4. The icon is a bottle in the Aether Story, a can in the Dark Aether Saga, and is known as "Odin Drop" in the Chaos Story. In most games these do not randomly spawn upon killing zombies, and are only available after completing a unique objective for each map. Starting in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 however, Random Perk is added to the Power-Up loot pool once a certain number of perks have been bought by players, though the drop is exceedingly rare.

A variant, the Empty Perk Bottle, can increase the amount of perks that a player an purchase via the Perk-a-Cola Machines or the Der Wunderfizz machine. Each bottle will increase the total cap by one, and can be done to obtain a maximum of eight perks. They do not spawn randomly from zombies, but are instead earned from special criteria:

In Origins, they can be dug up when the player acquires the golden shovel and then collects a Zombie Blood power-up. They will then be able to find pills of dirt glowing red at random spawns across the map which will grant an Empty Perk Bottle.
In Zetsubou No Shima, a player can water a plant three times with 115 water and shooting it with the KT-4 each time after watering.

Main article: Bonus Points

"Points for everybody!"

— Takeo Masaki after getting bonus points

^{Bonus Points}

noicon

Upon Pick-Up, Bonus Points will give either the player picking it up or all players an amount of points, depending on if it is glowing blue or green respectively. It was initially introduced on Moon as an effect of the Q.E.D, but has gone on to be a commonly dropped Power-Up in later releases.

In Moon, it only appears after the player has thrown a Q.E.D.
In TranZit and Buried, the Bonus Points can appear in the bank. After attacking the two keys with Galvaknuckles, every 1100 points the player deposits, a Bonus Points power-up appears and will grant the player who activate it to gain 1000 points. This effectively allows players to share points between each other. The Demonic Announcer doesn't announce this pick up.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and subsequent games, it can spawn alongside regular Power-Ups, and gives every player 500 points when it's activated.

A variation of Bonus Points, Blood Money, first appeared in Origins and replaced Bonus Points in Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It looks and operates similar to Bonus Points, but with a few differences with each appearance. It doesn't spawn with killing zombies, and can be obtained in these circumstances:

In Origins, it can randomly spawn while digging up the dirt piles. It will award the player who activates it a random amount of points from 25 to 500 points. If the player kills zombies while the power-up is spawned, it will increase the reward of the power-up.
In Shadows of Evil, it can be found in Red or Purple Harvest Pods.
In Der Eisendrache, there is a chance of it appearing in a gondola after calling it with a tram fuse. In this map, the power-up is affected by Double Points.

Main article: Full Power

Introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, this will automatically charge the player's Specialist Weapon. They can be obtained for free in IX by either doing challenges, or through being thrown to the player by the crowd.

Main article: Max Armor

Introduced in Call of Duty: Vanguard on Der Anfang, the Max Armor Power-Up repairs the player's Armor to full health. This replaced the behavior previously seen by Carpenter following the removal of the window mechanic.

Rare Power-Ups[]

Bonfire Sale
Lightning Bolt
Random Weapon
Zombie Blood
Tram Fuse
Veytharion's Blessing

Main article: Bonfire Sale

Bonfire Sale as seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. — Bonfire Sale as seen in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 4*.

Upon activation, Bonfire Sale links all of the teleporters in "Five" and Classified to the Emergency Room or Area 51 respectively, where the Pack-a-Punch Machine is, regardless of the DEFCON level. The price of Pack-a-Punch is lowered to 1000 points, with double Pack-a-Punch costing 500 points. Bonfire Sale drops exclusively from the Pentagon Thief in "Five" and by surviving three rounds at Area 51 in Classified, making it exclusive to these two maps. However in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 it can be spawned in on any map using the Conflagration Liquidation elixir.

Main article: Lightning Bolt

"Lightning is power!"

— Samantha on the Wunderwaffe DG-2

Lightning Bolt only appears in Call of the Dead. It is awarded after a player has completed the Stand-in or Ensemble Cast quests in Call of the Dead. A player can also defeat George A. Romero afterwards, causing him to drop one instead of a Death Machine. The icon of the power-up is identical to the Death Machine power-up, but instead grants the player a Wunderwaffe DG-2. This weapon cannot be Pack-a-Punched, has a limited supply of ammo (but can be refilled from Max Ammo) and can be kept indefinitely.

^{Samantha Quote}

noicon

"Enjoy your present!"

— The Demonic Announcer, when the weapon is picked up.

A random weapon can be spawned in Moon, Origins and Der Eisendrache under certain circumstances. The weapon will appear floating within the same kind of glowing visual effect any other Power-Up would.

In Moon, the player must throw a Quantum Entanglement Device. When thrown, it may drop a random weapon, which has a chance of being Pack-a-Punched. Walking into the Power-Up will instantly replaces the players current weapon with the one in the power-up.
In Origins, the player can complete on of the Rituals of the Ancients by performing 115 headshots on zombies. The player can then collect a pack-a-punched power-up weapon from one of the Ritual boxes located on the map.
In Der Eisendrache, the player can get a tram fuse Power-Up from killing zombies. This can be used on the console on the raised platform directly ahead of the tram. Once the tram fuse is used, the tram will move down the mountain, and then return with a random Power-Up. This includes a random weapon, that must be picked up using the Use key unlike in Moon.

Main article: Zombie Blood

^{Zombie Blood}

noicon

Zombie Blood is a power-up that appears in Origins and Blood of the Dead. It allows the player to be ignored by Zombies for 30 seconds, causing their character to appear in a zombie like form. The player will see a red fog from their perspective. The Power-Up itself looks like the icon for the achievement Acid Drip in Mob of the Dead or a blood pack. It is dropped randomly by zombies in Origins, and can be obtained in Blood of the Dead via an Easter egg.

Main article: Tram Fuse

The Tram Fuse is found exclusively in the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies map Der Eisendrache. It can be used to activate the Gondola, which can be used to obtain many benefits such as Power-Ups and weapons.

This power-up gives the player a piece of meat which can be thrown anywhere in the map. It lures the zombies towards it and they stop and stand near it.

Trivia[]

In the original version of Nacht der Untoten, Power-Ups showed how much time they had left on screen, but it was changed to an icon which blinked depending on how much time is left in later maps.
In Moon, various Power-Ups may be hacked with the Hacker to change them into Max Ammo for 5000 points. Max Ammos can also be hacked into Fire Sale for 5000 points.
On Moon, Power-Ups can spawn in the Biodome around any Gravity Lift.
In Nuketown Zombies, a power-up will randomly spawn in the shed of the yellow house. This Power-Up will change every time the 'Nuke Clock' ticks over.
The insta-kill will not give a 10 point bonus per kill if the weapon used to kill the zombie would have been an instant kill anyway.
In Turned, a purple power-up will sometimes spawn. This means the power-up is available to the first person to grab it, the human or the zombies.
A green glow means that all players get the power-up. A blue glow means that only player who picked up power-up gets it.
When a Monkey Zombie from the map Shangri-La picks up a Power-Up, the Power-Ups that it cycles through vary in how long it appears on the monkey's back; for instance a Random Perk Bottle or a Max Ammo will not last as long as a Carpenter or an Insta-Kill.
Dr. Monty created the Power-Ups, along with the Mystery Box, Chalk Weapons, GobbleGums and Perk-a-Colas.
On Kino Der Toten and Shangri-la, the nuke cannot appear on round 1. On round 2, the nuke is added to the end of the Power-Up cycle.
