With a style more in the vein of DMZ than traditional Zombies maps, players will run into some changes when it comes to a player’s greatest tool when it comes to surviving the hordes: perk sodas. Available through acquisitions or schematics in the pre-game lobby or purchasable at any of the respective Perk-a-Cola machines scattered throughout Urzikstan, players who are veterans of the Zombies community will find a couple of benefits have been removed from perks, while some additions have been made to play into the hands of the open-world gameplay. Here’s a full breakdown of each perk and their updated effe
Duke Nukem Forever has been criticized considerably ever since its notorious development cycle and after its eventual release date. The writing, visuals, puzzles, and jokes did not sit well with many. One level was considered to be particularly heinous, that being ‘The Hive’. Within the alien-made lair, the invaders have abducted and impregnated numerous captive women, including Duke’s latest girlfriends, the Holsom Twins. His response? Make a tasteless joke about the sc
Aerith’s sudden death at the end of the first disc of Final Fantasy 7 was a core memory (albeit, not a happy one) for many long-time gamers. Aerith wasn’t just a background character, she was part of Cloud’s main crew and even served as a playable character, making her death not only affect players’ hearts but also their part
Killing off fan favorites isn’t exactly a new concept and shouldn’t be a complete surprise, but every now and then, a beloved character unceremoniously meets their end right when the game’s events seem to have just gotten started. Here are some fan-favorite video game characters that managed to win over everyone’s hearts despite the short time they had in the spotli
The team-based online shooter Team Fortress 2 is kept alive these days via community-created updates. Valve Software, in turn, compensates these contributors and implements their levels in the game. ‘Wutville’ was implemented in the Smissmas 2020 update as a festive-themed Payload map, where BLU must push the bomb into RED territory – who in turn must stop them – within the time li
At the other end of the spectrum, however, are the levels and maps that have made a name for themselves in FPS Game Ranking history for all the wrong reasons. This could be for a variety of factors. They could contain controversial plot points, frustrating difficulty spikes, excessive backtracking, ridiculous jokes, and so much more. Beyond such examples like Planet Xen from Half-Life , what else is out th
Accessible only via cheats, the level features a pillar with faces on it. As it clips through the level’s walls, the pillar eventually travels out of bounds before crashing the game (in the aforementioned source port, the player is thrust back to the main menu instead). Before this happens, a doodle of a flying block floating out of the level and into the void exclaiming “I’M FREE!” will be shown on-screen. This was drawn by the developers as they found the glitch to be very funny, and went so far as to scan the doodle and implement it into the game as a quirky gag before the title would close and send players back to
Zombies will start spawning in the stairwell after you reach floor 10. Make sure to not get blocked by them. If you manage to reach the roof within a hidden time limit, a rift will open that contains a free Stamin-Up P
One of the classic four perks debuting back in Call of Duty: World at War ‘s Verruckt map, Jugger-Nog is a perk soda that tastes like amaretto eggnog and is known for increasing players’ health. Taking its name from the Juggernaut perk in World at War’s multiplayer of the same effect, Jugger-Nog is a must-have when traversing to the higher-threat areas of Urziks
Critics and Duke fans both hated this scene, as not only was it uncomfortable and tasteless, but also out-of-character. Duke Nukem co-creator Scott Miller has gone on record to say that developers don’t get the character’s personality right as “Duke is not an a**hole,” and that he doesn’t deliberately attempt to be funny. His personality is supposed to be both charming and badass . Even Randy Pitchford of Gearbox Software, who swept up the rights to the game and IP, claimed that he wasn’t comfortable with the scene but did not outright tell the developers to remove

One of the newest perks in the roster, Death Perception, is a player’s best friend when operating in close-quarters environments. After drinking this Perk-a-Cola , players will be able to see any nearby threats or available loot through walls and other environmental obstacles. A form of x-ray vision, Death Perception will highlight dangerous enemies and valuables in a dark red-burgundy aura , making it easy for players to dodge attacks while running around corners and quickly evaluate if a building has any loot crates ins
