Perk-a-Cola Machines: Scattered throughout the Zombies maps are various Perk-a-Cola machines, each dispensing a unique buff for a price. These are essential investments for any serious player.
- Juggernog: Increases your maximum health, making you sificantly more resistant to zombie damage. This is often considered the most important Perk to acquire early.

- Deadshot Dealer: Automatically aims your reticle at the nearest enemy's head when aiming down sights, sificantly improving accuracy and critical hit potential.
- Elemental Pop: Adds a random elemental effect to your bullets, similar to the Wonder Weapon effects. This can be a powerful damage boost.
Pack-a-Punch Machine: The Pack-a-Punch machine is a mystical device that allows you to upgrade your weapons, sificantly increasing their damage, ammo capacity, and often granting them special properties. You'll need to find and activate the Pack-a-Punch machine on each map, which usually involves completing a series of objectives. Once activated, you can insert your weapon into the machine for a substantial cost. Weapons can be Pack-a-Punched multiple times, with each subsequent upgrade offering greater benefits.
Prioritizing which Perks to buy and when to Pack-a-Punch your weapons are key strategic decisions. Generally, Juggernog and Speed Cola are top priorities for early survival. As rounds progress, consider other Perks based on your playstyle and the current situation. Always aim to Pack-a-Punch your primary weapon as soon as possible to maximize your damage output against tougher zombie variants.
