Black Ops 7 is shaping up to deliver an exciting new era for Call of Duty Zombies fans, especially with a robust launch lineup of 12 powerful Perk-a-Colas. Whether you’re a solo grinder or rolling deep with a team in the Dark Aether, knowing the ins and outs of each perk is critical to your survival.
From returning legends like Jugger-Nog and Speed Cola, to new entries like Wisp Tea, this comprehensive Perk-a-Cola guide will walk you through every drink, its mechanics, and all available Major and Minor Augments. Better still, if you’ve already unlocked Augments in Black Ops 6, they’ll carry over into Black Ops 7, giving you a head start against the undead chaos.
