Call of Duty Zombies is full of instantly recognizable features, ranging from drops like Max Ammo to Wonder Weapons like the Ray Gun. Call of Duty Zombies’ Perk machines are also incredibly important, and one fan has gone out of their way to show them some love through some custom LEGO builds.
Perk machines first came to Call of Duty Zombies in Verruckt, the second map Treyarch ever released. The original four Perks were Quick Revive, Juggernog, Double Tap, and Speed Cola, and all have become iconic. As the years went on, Treyarch introduced many more Perks for players to make use of. Redditor infamousKONVICT remade thirteen of these Perk Machines, covering all the beverages released between 2008’s Call of Duty: World at War and 2015’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
The first row of Perks shared by the Call of Duty Zombies fan highlights the original four Perk-a-Colas. Juggernog is seen first, with a percentage sign used as a stand-in for its logo. Quick Revive is up next, with infamousKONVICT doing a stellar job of capturing the machine’s smaller size. Speed Cola is then seen, with the Redditor highlighting the section where the drinks are visible by using a transparent blue brick. The top row ends with Double Tap, with the Redditor using a damaged circle as a solid replacement for its insignia.
The next row includes five Perks, with the beloved PhD Flopper getting a chance to shine first. Different colored LEGO studs are used to help the machine stand out, with the fan perfectly capturing the machine’s unique top piece. Stamin-Up is up next, with the Vita Rush logo suiting a perk that focuses on sprinting. Deadshot Daiquiri’s wine glass top is clearly visible, with a $100 bill being a nice touch. The fan uses a dart board to give the Mule Kick machine some personality, while the appropriately shaped Tombstone rounds out the lineup.
The final four perks are Who’s Who?, Vulture Aid, Electric Cherry, and Widow’s Wine, all of which are perfectly captured in LEGO form. The bright color scheme and floaty around the machine make the Who’s Who? Recreation work, while the Vulture Aid machine from Buried is perfectly shaped. The cherries on Electric Cherry make it one of the most accurate machines, while the red skull for Widow’s Wine is a viable replacement for a spider. With so much thought put into the builds so that they match the appearances of the in-game machines, the post deserves the 2,000 upvotes it has gotten thus far.
With official video game LEGO sets becoming more common, perhaps a partnership with Call of Duty will lead to some Zombies LEGOs one day. Regardless, this Call of Duty fan did a great job, as proper logos are the only thing missing from their replicas.
