The Der Wunderfizz machine on the Zombies map Ascension in Call of Duty: Black Ops III has a specific, limited pool of perks it can dispense. Unlike some other maps where the Wunderfizz offers a wider variety, on Ascension, it will only grant you either Double Tap Root Beer 2.0 or Deadshot Daiquiri. This limitation is crucial to understand for efficient gameplay, as it impacts perk strategies and resource management. It’s also important to note that the classic version of Ascension, which doesn’t include Der Wunderfizz, lacks the Double Tap Root Beer perk entirely and does not give access to the Wunderfizz at all.
Understanding the Wunderfizz on Ascension
The Specific Perk Pool
Unlike other maps where the Wunderfizz machine offers a variety of perks, on Ascension, the options are limited. The Wunderfizz machine on the remastered Ascension map available in Black Ops III will exclusively grant you either Double Tap Root Beer 2.0 or Deadshot Daiquiri. This is a significant difference from other maps where the Der Wunderfizz offers a wider selection.
Why Only These Two Perks?
The reason for this limitation is rooted in the original design of the Ascension map in Black Ops 1 and the changes made in its remastered version. Ascension in the original Black Ops did not have a Wunderfizz machine and instead had 4 classic perk machines including the newer perks, Stamin-Up and PhD Flopper. The remasted version introduces the Wunderfizz to make Double Tap Root Beer available, a perk absent in the original map. Since the standard perk machines in the map only offer a selection of specific perks, the Wunderfizz machine is used to make the otherwise unobtainable Double Tap available alongside Deadshot Daiquiri, which isn’t part of the classic perk machines on Ascension. These additions were made to offer different gameplay options.
Strategic Implications
Knowing that the Wunderfizz on Ascension only provides these two perks is important for planning your perk strategy, allowing you to budget points accordingly. It means that if you are not planning to use Double Tap Root Beer 2.0 or Deadshot Daiquiri, you might want to prioritize the map’s standard perk machines, which have Juggernog, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, and PhD Flopper. It’s also crucial to note that monkeys may target your perk machines, so protecting essential perks like Juggernog is important.
How the Wunderfizz Works in Practice
When you interact with the Der Wunderfizz on Ascension, it will randomly dispense either Double Tap Root Beer 2.0 or Deadshot Daiquiri each time. This means that you may need to try several times to get the perk you want, using a significant amount of points. This is also important to keep in mind as a potential resource drain when planning for a long run.
