Secret Sauce | ZFRR Hub

Secret Sauce is a perk of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies with no effect of its own: it gives the player a random perk among those not assigned to another slot of the loadout. It has been in the game since launch.

ParticularityThe only perk of the game that can be bought again while the player still has it

Like every perk of Black Ops 4, Secret Sauce has no machine of its own. Each player picks four perks before the game, in the Zombies Create-a-Class, and gives each one a slot: the Brew, Cola, Soda and Tonic machines on the Aether maps, the statues of Danu, Ra, Zeus and Odin on the Chaos maps. The perk placed on Tonic or Odin gains a second effect, its Modifier, once the player holds all four perks.

In the First Room

No First Room of Black Ops 4 has a fixed perk: an altar serves the perk the player placed on it in the loadout. The books of the eight maps of the site put a single altar in reach with the doors closed, so Secret Sauce is in a First Room only when the player gave it that slot.

Map	Game	What the book of the map says
Voyage of Despair	Black Ops 4	Forecastle: the Danu altar, a green statue of the goddess by the railing, to the right of the spawn, is the only perk of the First Room. It serves the perk the player placed there in the loadout, at the price of that perk.
IX	Black Ops 4	Arena: no altar, the four stand at the top of the four towers. A First Room player has no perk at all, unless the seventh challenge of a banner gives one.

Five other books say that no altar or machine is in the First Room: Dead of the Night, Ancient Evil, Blood of the Dead, Classified and Tag der Toten. The book of Alpha Omega names no perk in its First Room. The records are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Base effect

1,500 points. The player receives a random perk among those that sit in none of the other three slots.

Modifier

2,500 points on Tonic or Odin. Once the other three perks are bought, the player also gets the Modifier of the perk that Secret Sauce drew.

Buying it again

Unlike every other perk of the game, Secret Sauce can be bought again by a player who already has it. The perk it gave is then replaced by another one.

Where to find it

Black Ops 4: all eight maps, since the perk comes from the loadout. Secret Sauce is a Perk Vapor on Voyage of Despair, IX, Dead of the Night and Ancient Evil, and a Perk-a-Cola on Blood of the Dead, Classified, Alpha Omega and Tag der Toten.

Secret Sauce can turn into any perk of Black Ops 4 left out of the loadout, among them Winter’s Wail, Ethereal Razor, Zombshell, Blood Wolf Bite, Blaze Phase or Dying Wish.
