Double Tap Root Beer is a canon perk that appears in all Canon Zombie maps except for Nacht der Untoten and Ascension. The perk increases the rate of fire on all guns by 33%, essentially being a copy of the Multiplayer perk Double Tap. For some, it is considered an 'ammo waster' due to all guns receiving a high rate of fire. This fact is often disputed as a gun only fires as long as a player wants it to.
Double Tap II[]
In Black Ops II, Double Tap returns as Double Tap II Root Beer. Instead of simply increasing a weapon's rate of fire, it fires two rounds simultaneously for each round fired, effectively doubling damage. However, this effect doesn't apply to the Ray Gun, the RPG, the Ballistic Knife, Mustang & Sally, or anything with similar effects.
Trivia[]
- Dempsey remarks that it tastes chewy. This is possibly because the roots aren't ground.
- It is the only original perk not to feature in all maps.
- This is Richtofen's favorite perk. However, it seems he dislikes the jingle.
- The Death Machine is affected by this perk.
