"When hit by a melee attack generate a frost explosion that will freeze or slow enemies nearby. Player can store two charges."
— Description


Winter's Wail is a perk introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It comes in the form of Perk-a-Cola in Blood of the DeadClassified, Alpha Omega, and Tag der Toten, and as a Perk Vapor in Voyage of DespairIX, Dead of the Night, and Ancient Evil respectively.

Overview[]

Winter's Wail, when purchased, will allow the player to generate a frost explosion that freezes or slows enemies within the proximity of the explosion when damaged by an enemy's melee attack. The player will be able to store two charges.

When assigned to Odin/Tonic and the player obtains the rest of their perks, the Modifier granted will make it so that frost explosions trigger a slowing field around the player for a limited time. It will also grant the player an additional charge. Works similar to Widow's Wine.

Winter's Wail eventually recieved a significant buff that added several improvements to the perk. Firstly, the default number of charges recieved when using the perk was increased from 2 to 3, and the modifier slot now grants 4 charges instead of 3. The recharge timer between frost explosions was massively reduced from five whole minutes to just one minute, giving players more "breathing room" when in stressful situations. All charges are restored at the beginning of each new round, max ammos refill all charges, and lastly, frost explosions only trigger when critcally injured (except on Realistic mode) to prevent a lone zombies accidentally wasting multiple charges, such as at the end of a round.
