Soda Fountain | ZFRR Hub

Soda Fountain gives a random perk on top of a perk the player buys. It is a Rare Mega GobbleGum of Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies, where it works five times and ignores the perk limit, and an Epic GobbleGum of Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, where it works once.

Black Ops III

In Black Ops III, a gum’s colour gives its activation and its pattern its rarity: orange for a gum that activates on its own, white stripes for a Rare Mega.

Black Ops 6

In Black Ops 6, the colour gives the rarity and the pattern the activation: purple for Epic, rainbow speckles for a conditional gum. Fandom shows the same icon on its Black Ops 7 list.

Effect, game by game

Game	Rarity	Uses	Effect
Black Ops III	Rare Mega	5 activations	The perk purchase limit is ignored. Every perk bought comes with a random perk.
Black Ops 6	Epic	1 activation	The next perk bought gives an additional random perk.
Black Ops 7	Epic	1 activation	Same as Black Ops 6.

Black Ops 6 cuts the gum down to a single bonus perk, and its Fandom entry no longer mentions the perk limit.

How to get it

Black Ops III: a Mega GobbleGum, so it has limited uses. Fandom says Megas come only from Liquid Divinium spent in Dr. Monty’s Factory, or from specific Easter eggs.
Black Ops 6: a rank reward at Level 26 (Second Lieutenant II); Fandom notes that every gum is unlocked from Level 1 and that rank rewards are bonuses. Also in the Perk-A-Cola pack of Prestige 1 (Level 20), and two of them in each of the Season Four and Season Five Battle Passes.
Black Ops 7: Fandom says the gum stock is shared with Black Ops 6. Two of them in each of the Season Four and Season Six Battle Passes. The Survivors of Ash event (April 2 to 9, 2026) also gave it for getting 150 Critical Kills in a single match on Ashwood Survival.

Perkaholic: gives every perk at once instead of one extra.
Unquenchable: a Black Ops III Mega that opens one more perk slot.
On the House: spawns a random perk power-up.
Quick Revive: the perk that Soda Fountain can still hand out in solo after its machine has gone, according to Fandom.

Trivia

Fandom notes that in solo on Black Ops III, Soda Fountain and Perkaholic can still give Quick Revive after the Quick Revive machine has disappeared.
Dead Ops Arcade 4, in Black Ops 7, has its own Soda Fountain, which makes items spawn more often for five minutes.
