Having an empty clip or vest at the wrong time can be the difference between life and death, which is why reloading and replating speed is remarkably important. Speed Cola is an excellent perk that can boost your overall damage output by lessening reload downtime.

Jugger-Nog

Perk-a-Cola Effect
Jugger-NogJugger-Nog Increases maximum health.

A classic favorite, Jugger-Nog will notably increase the amount of damage you can take before going down. This is definitely recommended if you're finding yourself often in need of a revive.

Deadshot Daiquiri

Perk-a-Cola Effect
Deadshot DaiquiriDeadshot Daiquiri Aiming down sight moves to enemy critical location. Increase enemy critical damage.

Deadshot Daiquiri will help you land more critical shots, which will significantly boost your overall damage. This perk acts like an aim guide that will point your cursor immediately to an enemy's weakspot and help it stay there by removing scope spray.

PHD Flopper

Perk-a-Cola Effect
PHD FlopperPHD Flopper Diving to prone triggers an explosion. The explosion increases the higher you fall. Immunity from fall damage while diving. Immunity from area-of-effect damage from weapons you are using.

Death Perception

Perk-a-Cola Effect
Death PerceptionDeath Perception Obscured enemies, chests, resources, and item drops are more easily spotted.

Death Perception is a niche perk that only becomes significant in certain situations, such as locating cysts in an Aether Nest or loot caches in dimmed areas. This perk is definitely something good to have, but it is situational and arguably not a priority to acquire.

Elemental Pop

Perk-a-Cola Effect
Elemental PopElemental Pop Every bullet you fire has a small chance to apply a random Ammo Mod effect.

Elemental Pop is good to have if you want to proc additional effects every now and then, but its randomness makes it a bit unreliable. However, it's good to note that the activation frequency of your equipped Ammo Mod increases if you have Elemental Pop on.

Tombstone Soda

Perk-a-Cola Effect
Tombstone SodaTombstone Soda On death, you create a tombstone stash at that location, containing your backpack inventory in the next game.

Tombstone Soda acts like insurance that allows you to retrieve your loadout in case you die. This is particularly useful when you're about to enter higher-threat zones while carrying high-quality items and weapons.

The only downsides are that you have to pick your items back up in the same exact dangerous location and you can only acquire items in your rucksack.
