Electric Cherry is a Perk-a-Cola of Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Black Ops III. Every reload sends an electric shockwave around the player that can stun the zombies standing close. It made its debut on Mob of the Dead, the only map where it has a machine of its own.

The icon

A red cherry with a lightning bolt. The colour of the perk is blue, while the drink is cherry red.

The machine

Old and rusted, with no paint, spikes on its sides and electric rods beside the logo. A compartment holds the bottles, a zombie head and a hand. Its coin slot reads “5¢”, where most machines ask for 10¢.

In the First Room

Electric Cherry is in no First Room of the site: none of the map books places it within reach doors closed. The runs of every map are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Black Ops II

2000 points. The size of the shockwave depends on how many rounds are missing from the magazine: an empty magazine gives the widest blast, a single shot fired from a large magazine gives almost nothing. It does not grow from one reload to the next. A weapon that fires one shot at a time, such as the Blundergat, always gets the full effect. A player who goes down also releases a blast that stuns the zombies around them for a short time. The perk cannot be spammed: a reload that is cancelled and started again gives nothing until the weapon has been fully reloaded and fired.

Black Ops III

The same perk, without that limit on repeated reloads. It no longer has a machine: it comes from Der Wunderfizz, from the Perkaholic and On the House GobbleGums, or from a fruit on Zetsubou No Shima.

Where to find it

Black Ops II

Mob of the Dead, with its machine in the Cell Block, and Origins, from Der Wunderfizz only.

Black Ops III

Der Eisendrache, Zetsubou No Shima, Gorod Krovi, Revelations and the remastered Origins, never as a machine.

Trivia

  • The name is a play on the words “electric chair”.
  • Electric Cherry has no known jingle. Mob of the Dead plays music box tunes instead of jingles, and the developers said at the Black Ops 4 reveal event that a disco jingle was written for the perk, then cut because it did not fit the tone of the map.
  • A Grim Reaper blood stain can be seen on the machine.
  • In Afterlife, the player still earns the points of the zombies killed by the shockwave.
  • The perk is also in Call of Duty: Mobile.
