In Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the Death Perception perk makes a comeback. This Perk-A-Cola debuted in Black Ops 4 and gives players the ability to spot zombies through walls. While it doesn’t boost damage or durability, its practical benefits can be crucial for surviving tougher rounds and intense close-quarters combat in compact maps.
If you haven’t dived into Zombies mode recently or simply need a quick refresher on how this perk functions, this guide is here to help. We’ll explore the mechanics of Death Perception, where to find it across maps, and the six different augments that enhance this revived Perk-A-Cola.
What Does Death Perception Do?
Death Perception highlights hidden zombies with an orange glow, making it easier to identify their positions. It provides a default visual range of about 15 meters, which can be extended with specific augments. While it doesn’t enhance damage or penetration, it can yield extra benefits depending on the augment selections.
How To Obtain Death Perception
You can spot Death Perception at a Perk-A-Cola machine in “The Tomb” map and any Der Wunderfizz machine. Every map introduces a Der Wunderfizz at Round 25, so if you’re patient and save up your Essence, you can buy Death Perception on any map.
Augments for Death Perception
Death Perception has six augments available: three major and three minor. The Critical Eye augment works well with Deadshot Daiquiri’s headshot bonus, making it particularly beneficial for rapid-fire weapons like the PPSH-41.
Extra Change can help you gather Essence in the early rounds, while Bird’s Eye View effectively provides you with a constant UAV indicator for tracking zombies on your minimap. While Death Perception’s augments might not be as game-changing as PhD Flopper or Stamin-Up, they do offer useful quality-of-life improvements.
