Zombies Perk-a-Cola Strategies

Zombies Perk-a-Cola Strategies

Perk-a-Colas are vital to surviving the relentless zombie hordes in Call of Duty: World at War Zombies. Each perk offers a unique advantage, and understanding their strategic application and optimal purchase order can significantly extend your survival time. This section will detail each Perk-a-Cola, its location, cost, and recommended strategies for both solo and co-op play.

Quick Revive (Solo Only)

• Cost: 1500 Points
• Effect: Allows you to revive yourself once per round after being downed. Automatically revives downed teammates faster in co-op.
• Location:
  • Nacht der Untoten: Not available.
  • Verrückt: In the starting room of the American side, near the barrier.
  • Shi No Numa: In the Fishing Hut, accessible after activating the power.
  • Der Riese: In the starting room, to the left of the main entrance.
• Strategy:
  • Solo Play: This is arguably the most crucial perk for solo players. Purchase it as early as possible, ideally by Round 3-4, to provide a safety net against unexpected swarms. Remember, it has a limited number of uses per game (3 uses total) before it disappears, so use it wisely.
  • Co-op Play: While it speeds up revives, its primary benefit is for solo. In co-op, focus on other perks first unless you are consistently the designated rescuer.

Juggernog

• Cost: 2500 Points
• Effect: Increases your maximum health, allowing you to take more hits from zombies before being downed.
• Location:
  • Nacht der Untoten: Not available.
  • Verrückt: In the starting room of the German side, near the MP40 wall buy.
  • Shi No Numa: In the Comm Room, accessible after activating the power.
  • Der Riese: In the main power room, to the right of the power switch.
• Strategy:
  • Universal Priority: Juggernog is a top-tier perk for all players, regardless of playstyle or map. The increased health is invaluable for surviving later rounds. Aim to acquire this by Round 5-7.
  • Early Game: If you find yourself frequently getting cornered or taking damage, prioritize Juggernog even over a powerful weapon. Survival is key to earning more points.

Speed Cola

• Cost: 3000 Points
• Effect: Increases your reload speed by 50%.
• Location:
  • Nacht der Untoten: Not available.
  • Verrückt: In the starting room of the American side, opposite Quick Revive.
  • Shi No Numa: In the Storage Hut, accessible after activating the power.
  • Der Riese: In the Teleporter B room, near the catwalk.
• Strategy:
  • Weapon Synergy: Speed Cola is most effective with weapons that have slow reload times, such as the MG42, Browning, or any LMG. It also greatly benefits weapons like the Wunderwaffe DG-2, making it a crucial purchase if you plan on using such armaments.
  • Mid-Game Essential: As rounds progress and zombie numbers increase, quick reloads become critical for maintaining crowd control. Consider purchasing this after Juggernog, especially if you're using high-damage, low-magazine weapons.

Double Tap Root Beer

• Cost: 2000 Points
• Effect: Increases your weapon's fire rate by 33% and fires two bullets per shot (consuming two ammo).
• Location:
  • Nacht der Untoten: Not available.
  • Verrückt: In the starting room of the German side, opposite Juggernog.
  • Shi No Numa: In the Doctor's Quarters, accessible after activating the power.
  • Der Riese: In the main power room, to the left of the power switch.
• Strategy:
  • Damage Output: Double Tap significantly boosts your damage per second, making it excellent for taking down high-health zombies in later rounds. It's particularly effective with SMGs and assault rifles.
  • Ammo Management: Be mindful of your ammunition. Double Tap consumes ammo at twice the rate, so ensure you have a reliable source of ammo (e.g., ammo crates, Max Ammo drops, or a secondary weapon for points) before purchasing.
  • Late Game Consideration: While powerful, it's often a lower priority than Juggernog and Speed Cola in the early-to-mid game. Acquire it once you have a strong weapon and a comfortable point reserve for ammo.

Strategic Perk Order Recommendations

While individual playstyles vary, a general perk acquisition strategy can greatly improve your chances of survival:

• Solo Player (General):
  1. Quick Revive (1500): Essential safety net.
  2. Juggernog (2500): Increased health is paramount.
  3. Speed Cola (3000): Improves efficiency with most weapons.
  4. Double Tap Root Beer (2000): Boosts damage for late-game.
• Co-op Player (Support/Survival Focus):
  1. Juggernog (2500): Always the first priority for survivability.
  2. Speed Cola (3000): Faster reloads for sustained fire.
  3. Double Tap Root Beer (2000): Maximize damage output.
  4. Quick Revive (1500): Optional, primarily for faster revives if you're frequently reviving teammates.
• Co-op Player (Aggressive/Damage Focus):
  1. Juggernog (2500): Still crucial for staying alive in the thick of it.
  2. Double Tap Root Beer (2000): Prioritize damage to clear paths and protect teammates.
  3. Speed Cola (3000): Maintain high fire rate with quick reloads.
  4. Quick Revive (1500): If points allow and you anticipate needing to revive.

Remember that these are guidelines. Adapt your perk strategy based on your current weapon, the map, and the performance of your team. Good luck, soldier!
