Trail Blazers | ZFRR Hub

Trail Blazers is one of the Candy Perks of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Zombies, the candy machines that take the place of the Perk-a-Colas. When the player slides, the floor behind them catches fire, and the flames can kill the zombies that walk through them. Unlike most Candy Perks, it copies no older perk: it was new with Zombies in Spaceland.

In the First Room

Trail Blazers is in no First Room of the site. On Spaceland, Rave in the Redwoods and Shaolin Shuffle, the First Room holds a single candy machine, Up ‘N Atoms, and Trail Blazers stands behind the doors: behind the Astrocade, at the docks of the Trading Post and in the lobby of the Inferno Club.

On Attack of the Radioactive Thing it has no machine at all. The book of the map gives two ways to get it: Skullhop, the arcade machine of the Diner, which is past the tunnels of the spawn tent, and Director’s Cut. The rules of the Infinite Warfare boards say: “Directors Cut is NOT ALLOWED.”

The First Room records of the Infinite Warfare maps are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

The perk exists in a single game, so there is a single version of it. In Director’s Cut, the mode unlocked after the five main quests, the player starts each game with all the Candy Perks of the map, permanently.

	Game	Cost	Effect
	Infinite Warfare	1,500 points	Sliding lights a trail of fire in the path of the player; zombies that walk through it can die. The trail lasts a few seconds, and a short cooldown separates two slides that burn.

Where to find it

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: Zombies in Spaceland, Rave in the Redwoods, Shaolin Shuffle and The Beast From Beyond have the machine, for 1,500 points. On Attack of the Radioactive Thing, the perk exists without a machine: it only comes from Skullhop or from Director’s Cut. The book of each map says where the machine stands.

Call of Duty Fandom gives Trail Blazers no Perk-a-Cola as a counterpart: its page of Zombies in Spaceland calls it a completely new perk, where the other Candy Perks are mostly equivalent to older ones. The other Candy Perks of Infinite Warfare are Up ‘N Atoms, Tuff ‘Nuff, Quickies, Bang Bangs, Racin’ Stripes, Bombstoppers, Slappy Taffy, Blue Bolts, Mule Munchies, Deadeye Dewdrops and Change Chews.

Trivia

A trailblazer is someone who tries new things; here the word is taken literally.
The jingle is a country song. Its “Adiós, enemigos” is Spanish for “Goodbye, enemies”.
The coin slots of the machine show two prices for the same candy, $3.50 and $4.50.
The ingredients printed on the box include butane, propane, chili powder, hot sauce and razor blade shards.
