Bandolier Bandit is a perk of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies, found in no other game of the site. Its effect fits in one line: the player carries a larger stock of ammunition for every weapon.

In Black Ops 4 each player chooses four perks out of 18 before the game, in the Zombies Create-A-Class. The Aether maps sell them at four machines, Brew, Cola, Soda and Tonic; the Chaos maps at four statues of gods, Danu, Ra, Zeus and Odin, whose altars need no power. Bandolier Bandit only appears in a game if a player has put it in their loadout.

In the First Room

Bandolier Bandit is in a First Room only if an altar or a machine stands there and the player has assigned the perk to it. The books of the eight Black Ops 4 maps of the Hub place one in a single First Room.

Map	Game	What the book of the map says
Voyage of Despair	Black Ops 4	Forecastle: the Danu altar, a green statue of the goddess by the railing, to the right of the spawn, and the only perk of the First Room. It serves the perk the player placed there in the loadout, at the price of that perk.

On the seven other maps, the books give no altar and no machine in the First Room. Those of IX and Ancient Evil mention a perk among the rewards of the banner challenges and of the Tributes of the Oracle, without saying which one.

The records of these maps are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Bandolier Bandit only exists in Black Ops 4, in a single version with two levels.

The perk

3000 points. The in-game description reads: “Carry increased ammo stock.” According to Fandom the larger stock applies to all of the player’s weapons. No source read for this page gives the size of the increase.

The Modifier

3500 points according to Fandom. The weapon that is not in hand refills its magazine from its own reserve ammo over time.

Only one slot gives the Modifier: the Tonic machine on the Aether maps, the Odin statue on the Chaos maps. The perk bought there gains this extra effect once the player owns all four perks, which also speeds up reloading. In the three other slots, Bandolier Bandit keeps its base effect alone.

Where to find it

Bandolier Bandit is available on the eight maps of Black Ops 4; the book of each map says where its altars or machines stand.

Chaos maps

Voyage of Despair, IX, Dead of the Night and Ancient Evil. The perk is a Perk Vapor, taken at the statue of its slot.

Aether maps

Blood of the Dead, Classified, Alpha Omega and Tag der Toten. The perk is a traditional Perk-a-Cola, bought from the machine of its slot.

The other perks that only exist in Black Ops 4 are Timeslip, Electric Burst, Dying Wish, Stone Cold Stronghold, Victorious Tortoise, Deadshot Dealer, Winter’s Wail, Ethereal Razor, Zombshell, Blood Wolf Bite, Blaze Phase and Secret Sauce.

Trivia

Fandom links the perk to Candolier, a Perk-a-Cola machine cut from World at War that was most likely meant to let the player carry extra ammo: the idea came back in Black Ops 4 as Bandolier Bandit.
Bandolier Bandit has no jingle of its own: on the Aether maps the machines play at random one of the “Wunderfizz” jingles written by Jack Wall.
