How to Get More Than 4 Perks at a Time

[MysteryMachineX]

This is a thread for those of you that don't know how to get more than four Perks at a time. I hope this information comes in handy.

In Black Ops II Zombies, it is possible to get more than 4 Perks, but it is highly limited in TranZit. It requires the use of all 6 Perks, but because of the nature of Tombstone Soda, you can only have a maximum of 5 at a time (in TranZit).

Green Run: TranZit

Step One

Begin a game of TranZit with at least two people. This cannot be done on Solo.

Step Two

Acquire points. Whether it be by killing Zombies or going to the bank, get a lot of points. You'll need 13000 points just for the Perks alone.

Step Three

Buy Tombstone Soda, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, and Double-Tap Root Beer II, in no particular order.

Step Four

Find a spot in Town to down yourself. It needs to be in a location where you won't accidentally walk into your Tombstone Power-Up, where it is easy and fast to get to were you to get it, and where it is either as equidistant as possible from Juggernog and Stamin-Up or just near Juggernog or Stamin-Up but not directly in front of either. This spot varies per person; it's preference. Just make sure you can get to it fast.

Step Five

Go to that spot, and down yourself. Timing is key. You want to do it just before the Round ends, so that you are gone as little as possible, especially if you are your team's best player. Make sure not to cut it too close, or you might have to wait a whole Round. Just use common sense. Tombstone Soda will also let you commit suicide faster, which can help if you need to. Make sure to read Step Six before doing this.

Step Six

Have your teammates end the Round in Town. All of your teammates need to be in Town, to be safe. Once the next Round begins, seconds later, you will respawn.

Step Seven

IMMEDIATELY buy Juggernog. Then head straight for Stamin-Up, and buy it as well.

Step Eight

Grab your Tombstone Power-Up from your spot. That's it.

You will now have 5 Perks. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get all 6 Perks. The Tombstone Power-Up only lasts 45 seconds, which is not physically enough time to get from Tombstone to Juggernog to Stamin-Up. This is the only combination that works. Therefore, Tombstone will always be the one forsaken.

This combination works really well. Guns that do poorly with others will work great for you. You will have Juggernog, Speed Cola, Double-Tap Root Beer II, Quick Revive, and Stamin-Up. If you're the kind of player who rarely goes down, getting a loadout like this will likely benefit you much more than Tombstone anyway. This is NOT a glitch. It is programmed into the game. And quite frankly, if you do all this, you deserve 5 Perks.

Green Run: Town: Survival

Step One

This methodology is also available for use in Town. First start a game in Town and get a lot of points, 15000, not counting doors and guns.

Step Two

Buy Tombstone Soda and then three other Perks. The exact choice is not important, but I'd recommend Juggernog be among them.

Step Three

Find a spot in Town to down yourself. It needs to be in a location where you won't accidentally walk into your Tombstone Power-Up and where it is easy and fast to get to were you to get it. This spot varies per person; it's preference. Just make sure you can get to it fast.

Step Four

Go to that spot, and down yourself. Timing is key. You want to do it just before the Round ends, so that you are gone as little as possible, especially if you are your team's best player. Make sure not to cut it too close, or you might have to wait a whole Round. Just use common sense. Tombstone Soda will also let you commit suicide faster, which can help if you need to.

Step Five

When the next Round starts, you'll respawn. Buy the two Perks that you did NOT buy earlier, and then buy Tombstone Soda again. Then grab your Power-Up. Remember you only have 45 seconds to do this step. But then you'll have all 6 Perks. Congrats.

Hope you guys enjoyed this.

Way's Bug Alert: I recall this one game I had monkeys. But I was out at the moment since I used all three during the round. I killed myself at the end of round to get 6 perks. After acquiring my tombstone, I got all perks and guns but I did not get my monkeys. Expected because I did not have them when I died. So, I waited until I get max ammo. I still did not get them back. So, Remember to save at least one monkey before you try this otherwise there is a high chance of losing your monkeys after getting your tombstone. Hope that helps.

Are you sure it's not a glitch? How do you know it's "programmed into the game"?

[Tom852]

I'm sure. Everybody with a brain can think of that: Tombstone gives you your perks you had before. So just buy all other perks before picking the stone. Simple as whatever. I'm absolutely sure, the developers thought of that. (If not, they should be fired)

It's also a risk you have to take: What if you get downed before picking the tombstone? So to get the advantage, you have to take a massive risk. Plus, you have to down yourself, messing your stats. Overall, I think it's well balanced (Pro: 5+ perks, Con: Risk that it won't work, get a unnecessary down).

Therefore, it's not a glitch in my opinion.

I think it's not impossible to get 6 perks. Or is it? Spawning in Power, teleporting teleporting, avoiding getting catched by Denizen, placing tombstone at the perfect spot in Town?

[MysteryMachineX]

Thanks Tom.

Well, there is one way I think it might work. I'm going to try it. I'll either be right if it doesn't work, or I'll be happily proved wrong. Teleporting doesn't work. There aren't green teleporting lights near enough to be significant.

My idea is this: Die right next to the Tombstone Soda machine. Have your friends finish the round at Town. You buy Stamin-Up and then Juggernog. You run all the way back to the Power. Have all your friends come with you. They need to have Stamin-Up already and all have Galvanuckles. The idea is broken down below:

-The average person can get there in 1.75 to 2 minutes.

-You only have .75 minutes to get there.

-Having Stamin-Up will increase your speed getting there, as well as your teammates'.

-Having your teammates go with you will divide the Denizens, increasing your speed.

-Having your teammates have Galvanuckles will help them help you, killing all Denizens they can, including the ones attacking you.

Given ALL of that, I think it just might be possible. Sadly, I have no one skilled enough to test it with me.

[MysteryMachineX]

Just an update. I found it is possible to get all 6 Perks by doing this on Survival on Town with 2 or more people.

[way2g00d]

I've had 6 perks before in Town like MMX said. Nicely written, perhaps you can add one for town. Brains.

[Rissole25]

Nice MMX. I was actually wondering if that was possible the other day, but I'm glad you cleared it up!

But I wonder what the fate of the Random Perk Bottle is now...

[xXExpertCoahXx]

Aw...Beat me to it. I was thinking of something to post, but didn't think of this until, bow, too late :roll:

Thank you. I did.

Well there is that one possibility I mentioned to Tom. It's a longshot, but just maybe... And lol, I don't know if the Perk Reward is coming back.

Aw...Beat me to it. I was thinking of something to post, but didn't think of this until, bow, too late :roll:

I figured this out on my own. I looked it up recently and saw others had discovered it before I did, which was not surprising. I was surprised though at how few of them actually explained how to do it.

[xXExpertCoahXx]

I figured it out on my second playthrough of TranZit, although my horrible team wouldn't allow me to utilize it properly. Nice explanation though :D

[Lenne]

Nice post MMX.

Although I don't know if I will ever use this.

I would probably feel too bad. :lol:

[xXExpertCoahXx]

It's just like abusing the Shangri-La perk drops. Stay in first room and farm the monkeys/drops until you get 6 perks! Works like a charm.

Doesn't change that I would still feel bad about it. :P

[xXExpertCoahXx]

If you think about it, Black Ops 2 zombies is so hard that you pretty much need all 6 perks to make high rounds -____-

[XxJason LivesxX]

You shouldn't feel bad at all about this. They would have caught this on day one of beta testing just as we did. This was left in on purpose.

They want you to do it...

Agreed.

It's not abuse. It's a game mechanic. Don't act like this is an easy way to cheat the game. 13000 points plus downing yourself plus relying on a teammate plus a lot of running? It's far from easy, but it is rewarding.

Btw, if you can get all 6 on Town, then you can KEEP all 6. Since you have Tombstone, whenever you go down, you can get it back, just make sure to buy Tombstone before you get your Tombstone.

I am not saying it is abuse.

I am just saying that I would feel bad about it. Even if Treyarch told me that it is perfectly fine to do that.

[MysteryMachineX]

But why would you feel bad?

[Lenne]

I honestly don't know... That is just me...I guess.

Well I can always try it out though. :P

It is a quite frustrating exploit to accomplish during a public game with randoms.

[MysteryMachineX]

@Lenne: : / I'd help but *cough* Xbox=/=PS3 *cough*

@Expert: Tell me about it. It's doable, but quite difficult. However, the Stamin-Up running test I've devised is UNTESTABLE with randoms. They either do not listen or are just too crappy at this game.

It seems that BO2 holds more inexperienced zombie players rather than BO. Strange...It would seem that all the veterans would move over to BO2...What a conundrum we are in!

[way2g00d]

I remember when Waffles and I played town we helped each other by either escorting the player about to get 6 perks and using cover fire (if attempted at high rounds where zombies spawn faster) using mustang and sally, raygun or by throwing monkeys once the round starts. So I say getting monkeys before you do this helps.

Bug Alert: I recall this one game I had monkeys. But I was out at the moment since I used all three during the round. I killed myself at the end of round to get 6 perks. After acquiring my tombstone, I got all perks and guns but I did not get my monkeys. Expected because I did not have them when I died. So, I waited until I get max ammo. I still did not get them back. So, Remember to save at least one monkey before you try this otherwise there is a high chance of losing your monkeys after getting your tombstone. Hope that helps.

*MMX: May be you can add this tip to OP.

More people get into zombies (since zombies has been advertised pretty well and isn't "just" that "other gamemode" )

Which means that there are tons of more new people.
