Black Ops 7 is set to have an exciting year ahead for COD Zombies fans, with a full reveal of the roster of 12 Perk-a-Colas available on launch, and the Augments featured, all found below! There are some returning classics, tweaks, and buffs, along with a new Perk and brand-new Augments for every Perk. Below, we’ve outlined what every Perk does, what players can expect from them, and the Augments featured so that you can jump into the Dark Aether with the knowledge on how to beat the undead hordes from within.
Augments that you have already unlocked in Black Ops 6 will carry forward into Black Ops 7.
Wisp Tea
Wisp Tea Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Mask of Wrath: The Demon does more damage. Mask of Salvation: The Fox can revive you while it’s active. This can be done up to three times per match. Mask of Distraction: The Monkey attracts enemies and does damage in an area. Mask of Benevolence: The Maiden does not attack but will periodically heal you. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Extension: Increase the Wisp’s lifetime. Haste: Decrease the cooldown before a Wisp can be summoned. Zombie Sitter: The Wisp will attract and avoid damaging the last zombie in the round until the round times out. Fetcher: The Wisp will pick up items and Powerups for you (aside from the Nuke). |
- Drink to summon a companion wisp after killing zombies.
Wisp Tea provides players with an ethereal creature that will follow them around, and will only appear after the player has dealt a large amount of damage to enemies. The Wisp will spawn in, kill a bunch of zombies for 30 seconds, and then go on a 2-minute cooldown. Thankfully, the Wisp is also smart enough not to kill the last zombie.
Jugger-Nog
Jugger-Nog Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Probiotic: Increase maximum health with Jugger-Nog (from 250 to 300). Turtle Shell: Armor acts as a shield on your back, completely absorbing damage to your rear, while allowing normal damage mitigation to your front. Reactive Armor: When an Armor Plate breaks, nearby Normal Enemies are stunned for a short time. Iron Core: Your health is increased when all of your Armor Plates are broken. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Retaliation: Deal bonus damage while your health is low. Hardened Plates: Armor Plates have more damage mitigation. Durable Plates: Increase armor durability. Shake it Off: Incoming damage will occasionally be significantly reduced. |
- Increase maximum health from 100 to 250.
Jugger-Nog is a staple, and it’s back to provide players with more base health. Jugger-Nog is used so that players can get hit a few more times before they go down, and Augments help to further synergise health with the Armor Plate mechanics.
PhD Flopper
PhD Flopper Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Gravity MD: Just falling from heights creates explosions. DR RAM: For short bursts, sprinting into Normal Enemies damages and knocks them down. This also works while Tactical Sprinting. PhD Slider: Sliding into enemies triggers explosions with the impact occurring in the direction of travel. Double Whammy: Release a second explosion (shortly after the first one). |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Environmentalist: Become immune to environmental damage while sliding. EOD Technician: Reduce height and distance requirements for explosions. Tribologist: Sliding distance and speed are increased. Stuntman: Wall Jumping creates an explosion. |
- Explosive dive to prone and immunity to self-inflicted explosive damage.
PhD Flopper is a beloved classic that allows players to use explosive weapons without feeling the burn, as it grants immunity from self-inflicted explosions, like the Ray Gun, Rocket Launchers, and other weapons that go boom. It also provides the ability to have an explosive dive, and Augments make sliding around a great time.
Elemental Pop
Elemental Pop Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Citrus Focus: If a weapon has an Ammo Mod applied, Elemental Pop will only activate that one. Imperil Peach: Enemies that hit you have a chance to trigger a random Ammo Mod. Electric Cherry: Reloading creates an electric damage discharge that damages and stuns nearby normal enemies. The emptier the magazine, the stronger the damage. Rainbow Pop: Weapons with an Ammo Mod equipped have a chance to deal the elemental damage that an enemy is weak to. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Vulnera Bean: Increase enemy elemental weakness damage. Pineapple Blast: Equipment can also trigger a random Ammo Mod. Chill Berry: Reduce all Ammo Mod cooldowns. Refresh Mint: Killing a Special or Elite Enemy with its elemental weakness resets your Elemental Pop cooldown. |
- Attacks can trigger random Ammo Mods.
There’s no need to spend Salvage on Ammo Mods, as Elemental Pop will allow players to trigger random Ammo Mod effects simply by shooting their guns. It’s a lot like the Tier-2 Pack-a-Punch in Black Ops 3, except with more of a sting for the undead.
Melee Macchiato
Melee Macchiato Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Expresso: All melee attacks are faster. Vampiric Extraction: Melee attacks heal a small amount of your health. Triple Shot: Your punch can hit multiple enemies at once. Mocha Maul: The punch is replaced with your dedicated melee weapon. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Stick ’n Move: Backpedal speed is increased after a successful melee attack. Strength Training: Your punch can one-hit kill Normal Enemies for more rounds. Mugging: Melee Kills reload a portion of your held weapon. Barista Brawl: Gain more Essence from Melee Kills |
- Replace weapon gun butt with a deadly punch. The damage of each punch continues to increase until Round 30. The punch itself is faster. Expect different damage multipliers depending on the melee weapons you use.
Melee fans are going to love Melee Macchiato, as it extends the power of their punch, and the speed of it, far beyond what was thought possible. With a dedicated melee weapon, this damage can multiply even further, especially with Pack-a-Punch.
Vulture Aid
Vulture Aid Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Fetid Upgr-aid: On death, zombies have a chance to create a gas cloud that charges your Field Upgrade. Smell of Death: On death, zombies have a chance to create a gas cloud that conceals you while standing in it. Parting Gift: Vulture Aid ammo drops give more ammo to Wonder Weapons. Armor-matic: Picking up an Armor Plate automatically applies it to your vest. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Condor’s Reach: Auto-pick up loot from further away. Carrion Luggage: Critical Kills have a chance to drop extra salvage. Picky Eater: On death, zombies have a higher chance of dropping your current equipment. Adjustment: The chance to drop has been lessened slightly. Extra Serving: Special and Elite Enemies you kill have a chance to drop a Large Essence Vial. |
- Increase the variety of loot dropped by enemies.
Vulture Aid ensures that players can get more Essence, Armor, and other loot drops from killed enemies, and it’s more useful than you think to ensure you can always get a supply of Armor Plates and Essence for mid-game and late-game runs.
Double Tap
Double Tap Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Double Jeopardy: Normal Zombies at low health have a chance to die immediately when shot. Double Standard: All non-critical shots do double damage. Only applies to normal bullet weapons. Double Impact: Double hits on the same target in quick succession deal more damage. Double Dealer: Every fourth bullet in your weapon magazine deals double damage. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Double Time: Increase fire rate bonus. Double or Nothing: Weapons have a chance to inflict double damage, but also have a chance to inflict zero damage. Double Play: Killing two enemies in quick succession will have a chance to return two rounds to your magazine. Only applies to normal bullet weapons. Double Down: Bullet weapons have increased penetration damage through enemies. |
- Increase weapon fire rate.
If players want to shoot faster to extend their DPS, then Double Tap is a must. This increases the fire rate of all weapons, and some of the Augments even permit double damage to ensure foes aren’t standing up for long.
Quick Revive
Quick Revive Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
EMT: Reviving an ally allows them to keep all of the perks on their bleed-out circle. Adjustment: Players with this augment now keep up to five of their perks when revived. Equivalent Exchange: If you have Quick Revive while downed, killing an enemy will revive you. This can be done up to three times. Quick Revive is not removed on use, and you keep all Perks if you kill an enemy while downed. Dying Wish: On lethal damage, you become immune to all damage for two seconds and keep one health. Quick Revive is removed on use. This can be done up to three times. Adrenaline Rush: Killing a Special or Elite Enemy will start your health regeneration. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Swift Recovery: Reviving an ally increases both of your movement speeds for a short time. Karmic Return: Reviving an ally heals you to full health. Slow Death: Increase your time in last stand. Emergency Medical Kit: You can now craft a Self-Revive Kit up to four times. |
- Recover health and revive allies faster.
An essential Perk for solo players and basically any player is Quick Revive, since it will increase the speed of health regeneration, and allow you to revive allies faster. Quick Revive is necessary for tanking hits and healing it back without delay.
Deadshot Daiquiri
Deadshot Daiquiri Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Dead Head: Further increase Deadshot Daiquiri’s Critical Damage Bonus for guns. Dead First: Bullets deal double Critical Damage if an enemy is at full health. Dead Again: Critical hits have a chance of adding a bullet to your magazine, but there’s a slight cooldown. Dead to Rights: Bullets deal bonus damage to enemies within Point Blank range. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Dead Break: Increase bullet damage to armor pieces. Dead Draw: Reduce hip-fire spread. Dead Set: Reduce gun movement while performing advanced movement (jumping, with a faster sprint-out time). Dead Heat: Temporarily increase your movement speed after getting a Point-Blank kill. |
- Improve Aim Down Sights (ADS) precision and increase critical damage of bullets.
Deadshot Daiquiri is also extremely important, as it will increase the damage of your critical hits, and also provides greater aim assist to ensure you always aim for the head, even when you’re not trying. Some Augments even further extend critical hit damage and rewards.
Death Perception
Death Perception Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Treasure Hunter: Spot items others can miss from loot containers, as well as special and elite kills. Death Stare: Your Elemental Weakness damage has a chance to kill an enemy that is low on health. Critical Eye: Small chance that a body shot becomes a critical shot. This does not work with Explosive Weapons or Wonder Weapons. Sixth Sense: See enemies close behind you and take less damage from behind. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Bird’s Eye View: The minimap’s scan rate is increased. Extra Change: Find extra Essence under more locations. Further Insight: Increase perception radius. Hidden Gems: Death Perception can now see loot. |
- Obscured enemies are outlined.
Death Perception is an underwhelming Perk in which players can see the outline of zombies when they’re further away or behind walls, but new Augments actually make Death Perception somewhat useful. Sixth Sense allows players to take less damage from behind, and Hidden Gem allows you to see loot.
Stamin-Up
Stamin-Up Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Free Faller: Become immune to fall damage. Dasher: Enable Tactical Sprint with increased duration. Stalker: Walk faster while aiming. Guns Up: Fire while sprinting. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Hard Target: While sprinting, projectile damage is reduced. Quarterback: Use equipment while sprinting. Hot Foot: Gain a speed boost after your equipment kills an enemy. Footwork: Increase non-forward sprinting speed. |
- Increase movement speed.
Stamin-Up increases base movement speed and sprint, but there are further advancements with Augments that will become vital, especially through large maps like Ashes of the Damned. With speed boosts, faster movement while walking or aiming, and even the ability to fire while sprinting, Stamin-Up is a must-have for a reason.
Speed Cola
Speed Cola Mechanics & Augments in Black Ops 7 Zombies
|
Major Augment |
Supercharged: Field Upgrades recharge faster. Classic Formula: Reload speed is even faster. Phantom Reload: Weapon magazines are slowly refilled over time. Ammo Surge: Gain a burst of speed when initiating a reload. |
|---|---|
|
Minor Augment |
Speedy Roulette: The Mystery Box settles much faster. Quick Swap: Swap weapons faster. Fast Pitcher: Deploy equipment faster. Prestidigitation: Reloading has a chance to not use stock ammo. |
- Reload weapons and replate armor faster.
With the unstoppable undead hordes approaching with immense speed, players will need Speed Cola to reload weapons faster, and replate armor faster. Speed Cola can also be extended with Augments, allowing for even faster reloads, weapon swaps, equipment usage, and potentially even free ammo.
