One of the most interesting features that has played a pivotal role in the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is Perks. These are special bonuses that you can purchase during your rounds to amp up your power.
Each Perk in Cold War Zombies can be purchased from its own specific Perk Machine. There are several of them scattered around each map. It’s the same with the Die Maschine map, in which you have to find each Perk machine to get its bonus.
This guide includes details about the benefits that each Perk gives in CoD Cold War Zombies mode, their location, and how to upgrade them.
Where to find all Perks in Die Maschine?
Perks have made their return to the Die Maschine map from the previous iterations in the Call of Duty franchise. However, they have undergone a few changes, like, they are now stored in cans instead of glass bottles this time.
To avail these cans in Die Maschine, you have to find various Perk Machines available around the map. There are a total of 6 Perks available in Cold War Zombies accessible through the Wunderfizz machine.
Each of the Perks is different from the other, with different sorts of benefits or effects. For your ease, we have summed up both the effects and the location of each Perk/Perk Machine in Cold War Zombies.
Stamin-Up
Effect: Increased running and sprinting speed.
From the spawn area, head into the building in front of you. Take a right as you get inside and climb up the broken staircase.
When you reach the second floor of this Nacht der Untoten building, head straight/left of the door with a red light above it until you face the broken wall. From here, Stamin-Up Perk Machine will be
Juggernog
Effect: Increases Max Health by 50%.
Head back from the Stamin-Up and exit through the door where you came from. Climb up through the slope to the right that is made from a broken roof and then move in the opposite direction. Jump down from the building then and the Juggernog will be right in front of you.
Quick Revive
Effect: Speeds up health regeneration time and ally reviving time by 50% each.
Head down the slope from the Juggernog’s location and move all the way toward the pond to find the Quick Revive Perk Machine.
Speed Cola
Effect: Increased reload speed by 15%
From the Juggernog’s location, head towards the facility and go down. From here, take the first left, go ahead straight, and climb down the staircase.
You will find the Speed Cola Perk Machine standing right beside the first pillar in the Medical Lab.
Elemental Pop
Effect: Every bullet is fired with a random base Ammo Mod effect.
Head into the main facility area and go up into the power room. The Elemental Pop Perk Machine is located in this room.
Deadshot Daiquiri
Effect: Effect: ADS moves to the enemy critical location and the scope sway is eliminated.
Instead of taking a left, as you enter the facility, take the right route and head down to the lowest section. This room has a large missile hanging from the ceiling. The Deadshot Daiquiri is located here – directly below the missile.
How to Upgrade Perks in Cold War Zombies
Before you try upgrading a Perk, you need to see how many Raw Aetherium Crystals you have. Raw Aetherium Crystals are crystals used as a special currency in the game. You have many different uses for them, such as upgrading skills related to Filed Upgrades and Ammo Mods.
In order to earn these Aetherium Crystals, you should try reaching the fixed milestones in the game. Besides that, these crystals can also be earned through successful Exfiltration.
Once you have enough Crystals, head to the skills section under Loadout and then head down to Perks.
You will find all the 6 Perks here and most of these will not be able to be upgraded until the required level for their upgrade unlock is achieved.
So just rank up, gather Aetherium Crystals, and then rock on with upgrades.
Lastly, there is a special vending machine called the Wunderfizz machine. This serves as a Perk machine that can grant you all the Perks in the game at a single location.
It is located at the top of the Nacht der Untoten building, but can only be accessed through the Dark Aether Portal. It won’t be there in the regular world.
