Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is taking a risk by switching to an open world format, utilizing the Warzone map and allowing players to team up online for survival.
Despite the changes, the game is still including fan-favorite elements such as the Perk-a-Cola perks, which will function as expected.
The game will also feature new Ammo Mods and Wonder Weapons.
Activision has unveiled the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies mode, providing fans with an overview of what they can expect when the game launches on November 10. This installment will be the first in the Modern Warfare sub-series to include Zombies, and it will deviate from the traditional round-based gameplay. Instead, Modern Warfare 3 Zombies will adopt an open world approach. Players will have access to the Warzone map and will be able to join forces with other squads online to survive the onslaught of undead enemies. Additionally, there will be elements of extraction shooter incorporated. This departure from the usual Call of Duty Zombies formula is a significant risk, and its success is yet to be determined.
But while Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is making some significant changes to the formula, it also maintains many beloved elements from previous installments. In that regard, Perk-a-Cola returns in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. Activision has confirmed that Deadshot Daiquiri, Death Perception, Elemental Pop, Jugger-Nog, PHD Flopper, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, and Tombstone Soda will all be featured in the MW3 Zombies mode. They all function in the way Zombies fans anticipate.

MW3 Zombies Wonder Weapons
Activision did not provide a detailed explanation regarding the Wonder Weapons in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies, but they did tease three of them through a set of six images. Among them is one called Blast-O-Matic, which seems to be unrelated to the pre-existing weapon blueprint from Black Ops Cold War. Although it resembles the Ray Gun, its exact functionalities remain unknown. Activision did mention that acquiring the Wonder Weapons in Modern Warfare 3 Zombies requires players to discover special Schematics and then craft the weapons. To gain a deeper understanding of the Wonder Weapons and their contributions, Call of Duty fans will need to immerse themselves in the game's open world Zombies experience upon its release.
