Timeslip is a perk of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies, and it exists in no other game of the site. It shortens the waits of a game: equipment recharges faster, the Mystery Box and the Pack-a-Punch hand over their weapon sooner, and traps and fast travels cool down much faster.

In Black Ops 4 each player chooses four perks out of 18 before the game, in the Zombies Create-A-Class. The Aether maps sell them at four machines, Brew, Cola, Soda and Tonic; the Chaos maps at four statues of gods, Danu, Ra, Zeus and Odin, whose altars need no power. Timeslip only appears in a game if a player has put it in their loadout.

In the First Room

Timeslip is in a First Room only if an altar or a machine stands there and the player has assigned the perk to it. The books of the eight Black Ops 4 maps of the Hub place one in a single First Room.

MapGameWhat the book of the map says
Voyage of DespairBlack Ops 4Forecastle: the Danu altar, a green statue of the goddess by the railing, to the right of the spawn, and the only perk of the First Room. It serves the perk the player placed there in the loadout, at the price of that perk.

On the seven other maps, the books give no altar and no machine in the First Room. Those of IX and Ancient Evil mention a perk among the rewards of the banner challenges and of the Tributes of the Oracle, without saying which one.

The records of these maps are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Timeslip only exists in Black Ops 4, in a single version with two levels.

The perk

1500 points. The in-game description reads: “Equipment cooldown rate increased. Mystery box and Pack-a-Punch weapons appear faster. Greatly reduced Trap and Fast Travel cooldowns.” Fandom adds that the perk does not change how long a weapon waits in the Box or the Pack-a-Punch before it goes back in.

The Modifier

3500 points according to Fandom. The special weapon charges slightly faster and the elixirs cool down slightly faster.

Only one slot gives the Modifier: the Tonic machine on the Aether maps, the Odin statue on the Chaos maps. The perk bought there gains this extra effect once the player owns all four perks, which also speeds up reloading. In the three other slots, Timeslip keeps its base effect alone.

Where to find it

Timeslip is available on the eight maps of Black Ops 4; the book of each map says where its altars or machines stand.

Chaos maps

Voyage of Despair, IX, Dead of the Night and Ancient Evil. The perk is a Perk Vapor, taken at the statue of its slot.

Aether maps

Blood of the Dead, Classified, Alpha Omega and Tag der Toten. The perk is a traditional Perk-a-Cola, bought from the machine of its slot.

Trivia

  • Timeslip has no jingle of its own: on the Aether maps the machines play at random one of the “Wunderfizz” jingles written by Jack Wall.
