Perk machines

Origins has no power switch: each perk machine next to a generator is powered by that generator, and stops if the Templars shut it down. None of the machines play a jingle; they whistle. You can also go prone in front of a machine for 25 points, and on Origins in front of the Pack-a-Punch too.

Der Wunderfizz

Origins introduced Der Wunderfizz: for 1500 points, it spins through the perks and hands out one at random, like a Mystery Box for perks. A bolt of lightning strikes its orb at regular intervals to show where it is. After a few uses a bottle with a teddy bear comes out instead, and the orb moves to another machine. Its six spots are the starting room (Generator 1) and Generators 2 to 6.

Deadshot Daiquiri

Less spread, no sway when aiming, and aim assist that locks on the head.

PhD Flopper

No self-inflicted damage, and an explosion when you dive to prone from a height. On Origins it exists only in the Black Ops II version.

Double Tap Root Beer

The 2.0 version, faster fire and double damage per bullet.

Electric Cherry

Each reload sends out an electric shockwave that stuns the zombies around you; the more of the magazine you emptied, the wider it gets.

Those four have no machine on the map; the Wunderfizz is said to favour the perks that cannot be bought elsewhere.

More than four perks

Empty Perk Bottle

With the Golden Shovel and under Zombie Blood, an orange-glowing dig spot appears; dig it for a bottle that adds one perk slot for the rest of the game, even after a down. Sixteen such spots exist, none in the starting room.

Double Tap reward

Spend 30,000 points in a game and the Rituals of the Ancients box gives you Double Tap for free, even with four perks already. It cannot be taken if you already have Double Tap. In a First Room game, it is claimed at the box in the starting room.

With every Empty Perk Bottle and the Double Tap reward, a player can hold all nine perks of the map in one game.

Pack-a-Punch

The Pack-a-Punch stands at the top of the Excavation Site, in the middle of the map. It only switches on once all six generators are running at the same time, and goes dark again whenever the Templars shut one of them down: recapture it to use the machine again.

A First Room game never reaches it, but it can still hold a Pack-a-Punched weapon: 115 headshots on normal zombies earn a Pack-a-Punched SCAR-H, Galil or STG-44 from the reward box of the starting room. The Templars that spawn around a charging generator do not count.
