WWII Nazi Zombies has six perks, called Blitz: machines that give their power through an electric shock to the left hand instead of a drink. They are paid in Jolts, the points of the mode, cost 2,000 to 3,000 Jolts except Lebenblitz, and a player can hold four at once. What sets them apart is the way they are lost: a downed player loses them one at a time, in the order they were bought.

Every Blitz machine works the same way: the player pays in Jolts and receives an electric shock to the left hand. Prices are fixed for each machine. Lebenblitz, the revive Blitz, costs 500 Jolts in solo, where it brings the player back up automatically and can be bought three times in a game, and 1,500 Jolts in co-op, where it doubles the revive speed and can be bought without limit. In solo, the Blitz is used up by the revive but the player keeps the others, and it works alongside the Self Revive consumable.

A player can have four Blitz active at the same time. According to Call of Duty Fandom, the Hoarder mod raises that limit, and so does completing Dark Reunion, Making History or Stadtjäger Down, or collecting one of the sword pieces in the chapters of The Tortured Path. The book of The Shadowed Throne adds that finishing its main quest lifts the limit of four in later games. A downed player loses their Blitz one by one, and each lost Blitz can be bought again.

Two maps hand them out differently. Gröesten Haus has no Blitz machine of its own: everything comes from the Random Blitz, 2,000 Jolts for a Blitz drawn at random, then about two minutes of cooldown. The Frozen Dawn hides a Dark Room where four nails give all six Blitz at once. The Geistschild machines found on several maps sell armor, not a Blitz.

Lebenblitz is the Blitz of ZFRR: the books of The Final Reich, The Darkest Shore, The Shadowed Throne and The Frozen Dawn all place its machine in the starting area, doors closed, as the only Blitz there.

Frequently asked questions

How many perks are in WWII Zombies?

Six Blitz: Lebenblitz, Kugelblitz, Laufenblitz, Faustblitz, Schildblitz and Schnellblitz. Call of Duty Fandom also lists the Random Blitz of Gröesten Haus with them, but it is a machine that hands out one of the six at random, not a Blitz with an effect of its own.

What are Blitz machines in WWII?

The perks of Nazi Zombies. Each machine gives its power through an electric shock to the left hand, for a fixed price in Jolts.

How many Blitz can you have in WWII Zombies?

Four at once. The Hoarder mod raises the limit, and so do some quest rewards: completing Dark Reunion, Making History or Stadtjäger Down, or collecting a sword piece in one of the chapters of The Tortured Path.

What happens to your Blitz when you go down?

They are lost one by one, in the order they were bought, and the longer the player stays down, the more are lost. Each lost Blitz can be bought again.

Lebenblitz. In solo it revives the player automatically for 500 Jolts, three times at most; in co-op it costs 1,500 Jolts and doubles the revive speed.
