How to use Perk-A-Cola’s in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Perk-A-Cola can be purchased in Zombies using the Essence accrued throughout your run. The price of your next one will increase each time you purchase a new Cola.

Like previous entries in the franchise, players can expect to lose all their earned Perk-A-Cola if they go down during a game. However, you’ll have the chance to rebuy them once they have enough Essence.
