Venomous Vigor is one of the five Demonic Fountains of Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies, the fountains of the Dark Aether that take the place of the Perk-a-Cola machines. It makes the health of the player regenerate faster after a hit, and it was introduced on Der Anfang with the four others.
Overview
In Vanguard, perks are not bought from machines: they are drunk at Demonic Fountains. A fountain needs no power and can be used as soon as it is found. Each one has four tiers: the first drink is free, and every following tier is paid, at a rising price. A player who goes down keeps the perk but loses one tier.
In the First Room
Venomous Vigor is in no First Room of the site. The Hub has a book for two Vanguard maps, the two round-based ones, and both place every fountain outside the starting room. Der Anfang and Terra Maledicta have no book and no board here.
| Map | Game | What the book of the map says |
|---|---|---|
| Shi No Numa | Vanguard | No Demonic Fountain in the Storage Vault. Fiendish Fortitude, the only fountain that never moves, stands on the balcony stairs above the Flogger Courtyard, and the four others are drawn among the outer huts. |
| The Archon | Vanguard | None of the five Demonic Fountains is in the Temple: they stand in the Debris Field, the Spike, the Bazaar, the Derailment and the Tents. |
The records of both maps are on the ZFRR leaderboards.
Effect, game by game

The fountain
Similarly to Quick Revive, it increases the health regeneration speed of the player. The first drink costs nothing.
The effect
The health of the player regenerates faster after a hit. Call of Duty Fandom gives no figure for the bonus of each tier.
Upgrades
Venomous Vigor is upgraded by drinking again at the same fountain. The price is paid in Essence, the points of Vanguard Zombies.
| Tier | Cost |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Free |
| Tier 2 | 2,500 points |
| Tier 3 | 5,000 points |
| Tier 4 | 7,500 points |
Going down costs one tier, not the perk itself. On Der Anfang and Terra Maledicta, a player who has stayed twelve rounds in all in the Void objective no longer drops below Tier II for the rest of the game.
Where to find it
Call of Duty: Vanguard: Der Anfang, Terra Maledicta, Shi No Numa and The Archon. The books of Shi No Numa and The Archon say where the fountain stands.
Related perks
Call of Duty Fandom compares Venomous Vigor to Quick Revive as it works in Black Ops 4 and Black Ops Cold War: faster health regeneration. The four other Demonic Fountains are Fiendish Fortitude, Diabolical Damage, Demonic Frenzy and Aethereal Haste.
