Black Ops Cold War’s fabulous selection of Zombies Perks has increased as Mule Kick is back. Follow our guide to see how to use it, what it actually does for you, and where to find it.

It’s always fun when you start building up your points in Zombies, as the real entertainment starts when you start to Pack-a-Punch your weapons and acquire multiple Perks to enhance your gameplay.

Season 4 Reloaded ushered in Mauer Der Toten, a dynamic and varied round-based Zombies map. Along with the stunning new CRBR-S Wonder Weapon, Treyarch decided to welcome back Mule Kick to the fray.

Our easy guide will show you where to find Mule Kick in Mauer Der Toten, its effects, and how to use it.

What does the Mule Kick Perk do in CoD Zombies?

Unlike the most recent addition to the Zombies repertoire – Tombstone – Mule Kick focuses more on offense than defense. Tombstone plans for the event that you get downed, and Mule Kick tries to make sure it doesn’t come to that.

Mule Kick allows you to “Carry a 3rd primary weapon.” Anyone who plays Zombies will know just how key that can be to success in Call of Duty Zombies.

These are the different Tier upgrades you can unlock too:

  • I. Crafted Equipment grants an additional Equipment if able
  • II. All enemies have a small chance to drop ammo
  • III. Stowed weapons slowly refill ammo from stock
  • IV. 25% chance to keep non-retrievable Equipment when used
  • V. Third primary weapon is recovered when repurchasing Mule Kick

Where is the Mule Kick Perk in Mauer Der Toten Zombies?

You’re not limited to one single way to consume the Perk, as there are two ways you can go about acquiring the Mule Kick in Mauer Der Toten.

Here are the two ways you can pick one up.

Mule Kick Perk Vending Machine

Simply head to the ‘Ghost Station’ area of the Mauer Der Toten map, and you should find it resting against a pillar with a bright green glow you can’t miss.

If you want a bit more convenience to acquire multiple Perks in one handy location, then Mauer Der Toten also has a Wunderfizz Machine. It can be located in the ‘Department Store’ above Cafe Muller.’

Now that you know what it does and you’ve managed to get your hands on one, it’s time to make sure you know how to use it.

Once you have your two main weapons equipped and are raring to go, think carefully about what else you could do with and pick up a third weapon. You can then press the appropriate button for the gaming platform you’re playing on and cycle through all three weapons now.

We’d advise you to keep all three weapons different, such as an Assault Rifle, an SMG, and maybe something powerful for crowd control like a Shotgun.
