Perkaholic | ZFRR Hub

Perkaholic is a GobbleGum of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 Zombies, and an Elixir of Black Ops 4. It hands out perks in bulk: every perk on the map in Black Ops III, every available perk in Black Ops 6 and 7.

Effect, game by game

Game	Rarity	Activation	Effect
Black Ops III	Ultra-Rare Mega	Immediately	Gives the player all Perk-a-Colas available on the map.
Black Ops 4	Epic Elixir	Immediately	All Loadout Perks plus six random extra perks that are not in the loadout. Does not stack with itself.
Black Ops 6	Ultra	1 activation	Gives the player all available perks.
Black Ops 7	Ultra	1 activation	Unchanged from Black Ops 6.

Black Ops 4 is the odd one out: perks there are chosen in a loadout, so the Elixir completes the loadout and adds six perks from outside it. Fandom notes that in Black Ops III solo, Perkaholic still gives Quick Revive after its machine has disappeared.

How to get it

Black Ops III: as a Mega GobbleGum, it only comes from Liquid Divinium in Dr. Monty's Factory or from specific Easter eggs, and each one taken from the machine leaves the player's collection.
Black Ops 4: like every Elixir that is not a Classic, it is bought with Nebulium Plasma and each drink uses up a bottle.
Black Ops 6: in the Perk-A-Cola pack of Prestige 1 (level 20) and in the Perk-A-Cola pack of the GobbleGum Mania event (December 5 to 19, 2024).
Black Ops 7: the round 50 reward of Standard Survival on Exit 115, and the reward of the Mangler Helmet relic trial on Paradox Junction, in Cursed mode.

On the House: a single random perk.
Soda Fountain: a random extra perk with each perk bought.
Perk Up: the Legendary Elixir of Black Ops 4 that adds four random perks, where Perkaholic adds six.
Quick Revive: the perk Perkaholic can still give in Black Ops III solo once its machine is gone.

Trivia

Fandom suggests the name refers to Perk-a-Holic, the World at War achievement for holding every perk at once on Shi No Numa.
The Black Ops 4 achievement “Perkaholic Relapse” is named as a nod to the gum.
The Black Ops 6 calling card “Well That Was a Waste” is earned by getting downed within 10 seconds of consuming a Perkaholic.
Dead Ops Arcade 4, in Black Ops 7, has a gum with the same name and a different effect.
