Latest Black Ops 6 Zombies teaser gives first look at new perk

It might help with the stabby-stab.

Call of Duty fans continue to learn more about what to expect from Black Ops 6 later this fall.

Following the massive leak of many Black Ops 6 features over the weekend, CoD fans were treated to another Zombies teaser today (Aug. 5) that introduced a new perk called Melee Macchiato. The perk-a-cola can itself features a red boxing glove logo and a brief line that reads “knock out your troubles,” seemingly implying that this perk should help improve the melee or knifing ability of Zombies players to some extent. Outside of that, not much else is known about this new perk or its exact benefit in Black Ops 6 Zombies.

The video comes from TheTruthDies teaser website that went live last week, showcasing an old-school television with a channel guide, a weather report, and other seemingly normal TV functions—before some creepy Zombies-related footage eventually pops up. You can view the Melee Macchiato advertisement-style video on the teaser site by going to Channel 6.

We still don’t know much about the specifics of Black Ops 6 Zombies, other than the all-important fact that round-based gameplay is returning, and we’ll have two round-based maps to play at launch called Terminus and Liberty Falls. Black Ops 6 Zombies will also feature “a continuation of the intriguing and terrifying Dark Aether narrative that was started in Black Ops Cold War,” according to Activision.

It’s also unclear at this time if the newly teased Melee Macchiato perk will simply be added to Black Ops 6 Zombies or if it’ll replace another perk-a-cola from previous Zombies games. We’ll likely learn more about Zombies in the coming weeks, but we should know for sure when Black Ops 6 is officially released on Oct. 25.
