Stamin-Up is the Perk-a-Cola of movement: the player moves faster and sprints for longer. It was introduced with PhD Flopper on Ascension, the First Strike map of Call of Duty: Black Ops, and it has been in every Treyarch Zombies game since: Black Ops II, Black Ops III, Black Ops 4, Black Ops Cold War, Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7.

In the First Room

One First Room of the site has Stamin-Up: the street of Town.

Game	Map	What the map book says
Black Ops II	Town	Stamin-Up is one of the three perks that stand in the street, with Double Tap Root Beer and, in co-op only, Tombstone Soda. Juggernog and Quick Revive are behind doors.

On Die Maschine, the book notes that Stamin-Up runs on a generator and needs no power, but its machine stands in the Bedroom, behind doors.

Several books describe a source of perks open doors closed without naming Stamin-Up, so those maps are not counted here: the Danu altar of Voyage of Despair, which serves the perk of the loadout; Der Wunderfizz on Nuked, which “sells every perk of the game”, and on Citadelle des Morts, where it only opens at round 25 in Standard mode; and the Random Perk Bottle of Call of the Dead and Shangri-La. On Lighthouse, Exit 115 and Zarya Cosmodrome, the books do not settle whether Der Wunderfizz can be reached doors closed.

Every board and its records are on the leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Black Ops

2000 points. Two effects copied from multiplayer perks: twice the sprint endurance, like Marathon, and 7% more speed, like Lightweight.

Black Ops III

2000 points. On Shadows of Evil the machine is powered from the Beast mode panel beside it and has no jingle. On The Giant it only comes from the hidden machine, which holds Stamin-Up or Deadshot Daiquiri.

Black Ops 4

One of the 18 perks of the loadout: “Increased movement and sprint speed. Stamina regenerates faster.” Its modifier adds unlimited sprint and firing while sprinting.

Black Ops Cold War

2500 as a first perk, 500 more for each perk already bought. The machine takes a 1970s disco look and serves cans. Five tiers are bought with Aetherium Crystals.

Black Ops 6

2500 to 7500 Essence. The tiers give way to Augments: six per perk, one Major and one Minor equipped at a time.

Black Ops II

2000 points, same effect. The wiki recommends it for the fog of TranZit and for catching up with the Bus.

Black Ops 7

2500 to 9000 Essence. Eight Augments, and a second Minor slot once all of them are researched.

Aethereal Haste

The Demonic Fountain of Vanguard that raises movement speed, which the wiki calls similar to Stamin-Up.

Trivia

The name plays on the word stamina and the soft drink 7 Up.
The jingle lasts 1 minute and 15 seconds, a nod to Element 115; its backing track is a stock track called “Heat of the Night”.
Dempsey says it tastes like “lemon-lime with a twist of gasoline”; the Cold War can lists high octane gasoline among its ingredients.
Unused quotes show that Stamin-Up was planned for Die Rise.
Outside the games of the site, it also appears in Call of Duty: Mobile and in Modern Warfare III.
