Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will get a new perk in Zombies mode soon. That extra is called “Tombstone Soda” and that will indeed be new Black Ops Cold War and should also be a household name for those who played Black Ops II. The benefit comes back in this game, but as with some of the other Zombies features that have been brought back, it has been revamped to have some different effects compared to what players are used to.
Treyarch Studios confirmed the benefit’s arrival as part of its 115-day celebrations this week. Tombstone Soda will be added on Feb. 4, Treyarch said, a new perk that players may have picked up had they paid attention to previous teasers.

As mentioned earlier, this benefit doesn’t have the same effects as the previous iteration of Black Ops II. Instead, this perk allows players to enter a shadow shape and some sort of redemption period where they get one more chance to revive themselves.
Unlike his first incarnation in Black Ops II, the new and improved Tombstone Soda will now transform the player into a shadow in the Dark Aether after being knocked down, βsaid Treyarch Studios. βIn this shadow form you are equipped with weapons that give you the opportunity to bring yourself back to life. However, if your health is reduced to zero while in shadow form, you are dead.
Like other benefits, players can invest Aetherium Crystals in their purchase to improve Tombstone Soda even further after you have already purchased it. The effects of those upgrades are listed below:
Tombstone Soda Upgrades
- Level I – Shadow shape can restore health.
- Level II – Increase the duration of the downtime to 60 seconds.
- Level III – Drop a Tombstone supply at death that will save your weapons, equipment and resources.
This new perk can of course be found on the Die Maschine card through the Der Wunderfizz machine, but you can also get it from the new card that arrives. That map is called “Firebase Z” and was announced just before the new benefit. It is the first post-launch map of its kind to be added to Zombies and, like Tombstone Soda, will arrive on February 4th.
