The effect is the same everywhere; Black Ops 4 speaks of Loadout Perks because perks are picked in a loadout there.

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 three-gum pack of Prestige 5 (level 20), with Stock Option and Free Fire, and as a pack of three Phoenix Up in the Blaze of Glory event (May 6 to 15, 2025).
  • Join the Party: the Black Ops 4 Elixir that also brings spectating players back, but without their lost perks.
  • Near Death Experience: revives by proximity for a while instead of all at once.
  • Self Medication: the self-revive gum, for the player who chews it.

Trivia

  • Fandom traces the name to the Phoenix Down, the revival item of the Final Fantasy series.
  • Dead Ops Arcade 4, in Black Ops 7, has a gum with the same name and a different effect.
