Like previous Treyarch Zombies games, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies features special power-ups and abilities that you can equip to your operator and weapons. Selecting good weapons and gear is crucial, but acquiring Perk-a-Colas and Ammo Mods will prove to be beneficial in the long run.

Perk-a-Colas can be purchased from vending machines scattered throughout the map for Essence. You can choose which Perk Machine to visit first depending on your playstyle and which skill you prefer, but obtaining all of the Perk Machines should be your goal if you plan on sticking with the round-based mode. Somewhere on the map will be the Der Wunderfizz Machine, which can grant you all of the Perk-a-Colas; it's located in a rather dangerous location, though.

I always prioritize getting the Stamin-Up and Jugger-Nog Perk-a-Colas over the others, as faster movement speed and more HP are a priority for me in Call of Duty Zombies. Then I try to get Speed Cola, Quick Revive, PhD Flopper, and the other remaining perks. The new Melee Macchiato perk seems like a fun new addition and I can’t wait to try it out.

With Ammo Mods, each bullet has a small chance to inflict its effect on the enemy. The classic one I prefer is Brain Rot, as the zombie ally can take out multiple enemies at once; that said, any of these power-ups are good. Shadow Rift is the new Ammo Mod that doesn’t appeal to me much, but I’ll have to try it out first.
