A new perk has been confirmed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, joining the series' iconic selection of powerful, gameplay-enhancing concoctions. The next iteration of the Call of Duty Zombies saga continues with Treyarch's highly anticipated Black Ops 6, which introduces fans to a whole new crew and several new locations to explore, along with a recently announced new perk that seems to buff melee weapons.

Excitement is certainly in the air for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The first game to be developed by Treyarch since 2020's Black Ops Cold War, Black Ops 6 seeks to provide players with the most robust assortment of content yet, with several game modes and features slated to return. Among these returning features in Black Ops 6 is the iconic theater mode, which allows players to record and playback gameplay clips, as well as classic prestige. However, Black Ops 6 also marks the next chapter in the Call of Duty Zombies storyline, with a new perk being confirmed ahead of the game's release.

Fans of Call of Duty's undead game mode have been officially introduced to a brand-new perk in a teaser video for Black Ops 6's Zombies. The new perk is called "Melee Macchiato" and features a creamy-orange aesthetic complete with a bright red boxing glove on the can's logo. The perk comes in a can similar to the ones seen in Cold War's Zombies mode. The exact effects of Melee Macchiato are unknown, but considering the name of the drink, it's likely the perk will buff players' melee abilities and items.

Melee weapons have a rather unique and interesting history in Call of Duty Zombies. A variety of maps, like Black Ops' Ascension or Black Ops 2's Tranzit, feature powerful melee weapons such as the sickle and Galvaknuckles respectively, but these items are typically discarded as players progress through rounds. High-round strategies in Call of Duty Zombies often abandon melees entirely, but it seems like Treyarch wants to give fans a reason to use these types of weapons in Black Ops 6.



Perks are crucial to survival in Call of Duty Zombies and have been featured since the mode's second map in World at War. Over time, more unique and interesting perks have been added to the mix, though classics like Juggernog and Speed Cola tend to rank among the top for Call of Duty Zombies fans. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 officially releases on October 25 and is expected to expand the ongoing Zombies storyline in major ways. Not a lot of information is known about the new crew or maps, but Treyarch has confirmed Black Ops 6 will deliver a significant amount of content for Zombies fans to enjoy.
