How to get Death Perception in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Equipping Death Perception is pretty simple and similar to other Perk-a-Colas in the game. This perk is available on the new map, The Tomb, where a dedicated Perk-a-Cola machine can be found in a specific location. The machine is easily recognizable by its red glow and the ominous eye with a skull symbol drawn on it.

To acquire the perk, gather enough Essence in-game, head to the machine, and purchase the perk. It will activate automatically when you drink the Perk-a-Cola.

On other maps like Liberty Falls, Terminus Island, and Citadelle des Morts, there won't be a dedicated machine for Death Perception. Instead, you can obtain it through the Der Wunderfizz machine.

Note that the Der Wunderfizz machine becomes available in Standard mode starting at round 25 but is accessible from the beginning in Directed mode.
