While Zombies veterans will be familiar with the initial versions of most of our starting Perks, Elemental Pop is something different. This new Perk is all about Ammo Mods. With every shot fired while Elemental Pop is active, you’ll have a slight chance for a random base Ammo Mod to take effect against your target – an incredibly useful tool for when your back’s up against the wall.
But what happens when you want to take your Perks to the next level? That’s where the all-new Skill Tiers come in, every Perk can be permanently upgraded up to five levels.
.
Upgrades come at the cost of Aetherium Crystals, awarded upon reaching “Round Milestones” which is first archived at Round 10 with subsequent milestones occurring every 5 rounds. Three types can be found: Raw Aetherium Crystals, Refined Aetherium Crystals, and Flawless Aetherium Crystals.
