It's a known fact that when you need a revive in COD Zombies, your Perks are lost to the Dark Aether. However, Black Ops 7 Zombies changes the formula, rewarding players who dare to challenge themselves and spend their Essence by providing them with Permanent Perks. These Permanent Perks might only be for the match you're in, meaning they're not around for a new game of Ashes of the Damned, but they'll completely change the feeling of threats from zombies, as you will be able to keep your Perks when you get downed. Here's how to get Permanent Perks in BO7 Zombies.

How to Get Permanent Perks in Black Ops 7 Zombies
In order to get Permanent Perks, you will first need to have claimed all 12 Perk-a-Colas on the map. This is rather costly, as each Perk will increase in price by 500 Essence. This means that you need to spend a total of around 63,000 Essence in order to get all 12 Perks in the game, which can be found at their individual Perk Machines (click here for locations), or at the Der Wunderfizz Machine at the north end of Janus Towers Plaza, which spawns after Round 20.
After you have all 12 Perks, you will need to wait for a T.E.D.D. Task to appear on the map. T.E.D.D. Tasks will appear roughly every 4 to 6 rounds, and will spawn at a random location, which will appear in your HUD, and you can find it on your minimap or by looking to the sky to see a swirling portal. The T.E.D.D. Task is always random, but if you complete it with a maximum rank, you will get Legendary-tier loot, which almost always guarantees a Mystery Perk. However, if you have all Perks already, then a notification will appear on the right of your screen that reads "Permanent Perk Obtained: [Perk-a-Cola]".
When you have a Permanent Perk, it means that it will always be there, even if you die or need to be revived. If you spawn back in on the next round, or you get revived through a teammate or a Self-Revive, you will still have Stamin-Up, no matter what. This can be repeated through T.E.D.D. Tasks until you have every Permanent Perk, which will make the main easter egg a breeze, but it might take quite a lot of rounds to achieve.
