Black Ops 2 Zombies Guide: PhD Flopper Permaperk

Here's how to get the PhD Flopper permaperk in the new Zombies map, Buried.

PhD Flopper is a permaperk that can only be attained in the new Zombies map for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Buried. As a hidden permaperk, the only way to get it is to jump from a certain distance and take fall damage. It’s a recreation of the sort of perk that you’d pick up at the Perk-a-Cola dispenser.

Watch the video if you want to find out how to get the PhD Flopper. You’ll notice a green flash when you take fall damage.

As you may have already known, Buried is the new Zombies map that comes in the Vengeance DLC pack. You can take a look at the map, along with gameplay footage here .

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance is out today on the Xbox 360. It’ll be a month before it comes out on the PC and PlayStation 3 due to an exclusivity deal between Activision and Microsoft.

PHD Flopper Perma Perk

By Guest , July 5, 2013 in Buried

Recommended Posts

Hello Friends ,

I have been acquiring many different Perma Perks. This time something very useful came into my grasps. Iv been continuously overcoming fall damage from jumping off the roofs. Also falling through holes and such.

When Landing

I figured it out eventually in a later game. Here you will see Me as Russman diving to the ground.

We got PHD Flopper !

In conclusion we now have our PHD Flopper! It is so useful in this map. You can take out massive amounts of zombies by jumping off the rooftop or many staircases.

All I did was survive fall damage at least a couple games before achieving this Perma Perk. Hope this was as exciting for you as it was for me!

I got about 4/5 times in my last game.

I presume it's lost if you don't dolphin dive in a certain amount of jumps. That's how I lost it anyway.

Could be. Its pretty neat though.

I often hear the sound for losing it when I fall from a high place,

Basically I lose it the same way I got it but I don't know if that is the only way to lose it

Maybe Treyarch is making us work for it lol.

Kind of late but here is how you gain it and how you lose it. Also its beneifits

How to get: Take fall damage multiple times. You do not have to survive. If by chance the last time you take fall damage you actually die, you can still receive it.

How to lose: take fall damage. A tiny, tiny bit of damage is okay. When all your guy says is that umph sound. But if your screen goes red you will lose it.

Benefits: Explosive dolphin dives, no splash damage from explosives, (You still take fall damage but that can be negated by dolphin diving, but beware you can't dolphin dive with the new wonder weapon.)

I often hear the sound for losing it when I fall from a high place, Basically I lose it the same way I got it but I don't know if that is the only way to lose it

That's why they are called "Persistent Perks" not "Perma Perks", because you have to be persistent in keeping the perk.

Example 1. - You gain PHD Flopper by falling from a certain height that causes damage (5 or 6 times or whatever), you then have to use the ability of that perk when falling (Dolphin Diving) to keep the perk. So if you take fall damage without dolphin diving, you will loose it. You have to be persistent.

Example 2. - Cash Back. If you go to prone in front of the perk machines (every time) after you have drunk a perk, you will gain the cashback perk. This refunds a portion of your money spent. In World at War, if you went prone infront of the perk machines you would gain 25 points. That's probably why they have made it like this in BOII. To keep it, every perk you drink you have to go to prone, if you don't, you will loose it.

"Persistent Perks" not "Perma Perks"

Am I the only one who feels they are trying to get rid of this perk? It wasn't in Transit, Die Rise, Mob of the Dead, and it's in Buried but not the actual perk.

I only recall ever seeing it in the game on Grief Cell Block. Which honestly... I don't see used much there.

I like it like this. It's free Flopper lol. If you're careful, you'll never lose it. But even if you do, it's extremely easy to get back.

The Clay Bird

yeah and it's used ALL the time in grief

They need to get rid of persistent perks. Honestly now I kinda hate them. It seems like they're too easy to get and the effects are kinda screwy and how to lose it and gain some of them are stupid. I like the idea don't get me wrong, it's just ridiculous how it escalated to the point in zombies. I like the Quick Revive, Steel Barricades, and the Box ones. The rest are just meh.

I like the PHD Flopper one. But everyone can get it playing Buried even by accident. I wish I could hold a grenade in my hand and kill zombies without dying... but I guess we'll have to wait for the real perk to come back.

Tasty Applesauce

I love all these new little upgrades you can get, it just adds to the fun.

They're not necessary but they make it that much more enjoyable when you have them.

The way I see it, them putting PhD in as a persistent perk was their way of making up for trolling us 2 maps in a row with it. Now we don't have to pay for it and its extremely easy to get, still does everything the regular perk does except allow you to hold a grenade in your hand until it explodes which is fine by me because I never did that in the old one anyways haha. Just being able to have an explosive dolphin dive again is enough for me, and the level has a lot of parkour spots and rooftops to just have a blast with it.

This game has evolved so much from the simple WaW games its amazing to see how far they've come. I seriously think we could be seeing a standalone CoD Zombies game in the near future. I hope so anyways :P

Sorry to be the debbie downer, but I'm actually kinda disappointed that they brought PHD back. Much of the community (besides the 10 year olds at callofduty.com) was finally starting to accept that it wasn't coming back, and many people including me finally realized how ridiculously OP it was. I mean seriously, Ascension wasn't a fun map for the reason that the WHOLE map besides the PHD area was rendered useless because of how easy it was to train and flop there. Not to mention the ridiculously cheap M&S+PHD strategy everyone used. At least this time it's not as easy to get, it kind of seems to come and go spontaneously.

ThrowAmonkeyBomb

I personally am glad that they brought it back,havent been able to use it yet though (ps3 owner).However,I dont mind not having it,in fact I kinda prefer M & S without PHD ;)

Im just pissed that they brought it back and didn't give you the chance to get it on previous maps. I thought that was pure BS.

Incoming expletives.

What the fuck? Cheap? The thundergun was cheap. The wave gun was cheap. The shrink gu was cheap. How in bloody hell was giving the few guys smart enough to get a gun that protective services expired at round 35-40 cheap? Especially if your luck was like some people (me) who never got those guns, ever. Not to mention I loved explosives. Pack a punched law, china beach, scavenger ray gun. No way dude. Flopper was the most fun perk ever. They should have brought it back in bo2 for the sole reason that they finally got rid of the real problems (thunderguns, wave guns, shrink guns). Think about it, anyone ever seen ANYBODY in bo2 keep and use the RPG, war machine? NOPE.

Think about it, anyone ever seen ANYBODY in bo2 keep and use the RPG, war machine? NOPE.

Have you ever seen anyone keep the Law, China Lake, or Panzershrek? Nope. It has nothing to do with PhD, they are just bad guns.

I think Treyarch should remove the persistent upgrade, and bring back the actual perk. I like be challenge of getting every perk in one game, and seeing the symbol for it on the HUD. It makes no sense to keep it away from us for so long then make it so easy to obtain later.

I would keep the law in moon.

Yea, I have ._. Tons of guys I used to play with in bo1 used to rock with pack a punched laws, mustang and sally and ray guns past round 35 on every map with flopper, including myself. The pack a punched law was super effective at taking out waves of zombies even on round 40 ._. Idk about panzershrek because I only started on bo1 not w@w

PhD Flopper

• View history

PhD Flopper , fully known as PhD Flopper Soda [1] is a Perk-a-Cola featured in Zombies . It was introduced along with Stamin-Up in the map Ascension and returns in Call of the Dead, Shangri-La , Moon , Cell Block and Origins . PhD Flopper also makes an appearance in part as a Persistent Upgrade on Buried as well as an unobtainable Easter Egg on the maps Die Rise , Mob of the Dead , and Blood of the Dead . PhD Flopper was replaced by Widow's Wine in the remastered version of Ascension, Shangri-La, Moon and Origins, due to the absence of diving to prone in Black Ops III . In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III , PhD Flopper replaces PhD Slider from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War .

Overview [ ]

The Perk-a-Cola costs 2000 points and features a dark blue and purple color scheme, though primarily purple. Its icon displays a radiation trefoil emitting shock waves. PhD Flopper completely negates self-inflicted damage; however, the player will still groan and suffer temporary movement reduction when falling down from an elevated area. Another feature of this perk is that when players dive to prone from a height from which they would normally take damage, a 7.5 meter radius explosion is created upon landing.

The explosion is very powerful, with a maximum of 5000 damage at the center of the blast, and can kill zombies with one hit up to approximately round 20. Between rounds 20 to 30, PhD Flopper will begin to make crawlers, and on rounds beyond 30, zombies will retain their legs even in the center of the blast. The perk is made from prunes and some types of chemicals. However, as this is an explosive "weapon", it should be noted that the player only receives 50 points per kill, when opposed to the 60 points that are acquired by using a bullet firing weapon, so using a gun would be advised if the player is going to buy something, such as other Perk-a-Colas. This perk does not seem to work when diving right on top of multiple zombies. It should also be noted when "flopping" that landing on a prone player while diving to prone will cause both players to be downed instantly, so one should avoid other teammates while diving.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III , PhD Flopper also negates the effects of fire, gas, and self-explosion damage, and no longer requires the player to dive from a height in order to trigger an explosion.

Locations [ ]

Call of duty: black ops [ ].

• Ascension - In the room by Lunar Lander Д (closest to MP5K ), with the grenades available to purchase off the nearby wall. Can also be obtained from a Random Perk Bottle by finishing a Space Monkey round without having any machines attacked.
• Call of The Dead - In the abandoned second floor of the multi-story building that branches off of the lighthouse. Can also be obtained from a Random Perk Bottle by killing George A. Romero.
• Shangri-La - Will spawn randomly in the mines. (changes spawn with Stamin-Up , Double Tap and Deadshot Daiquiri ). Can also be obtained from a Random Perk Bottle by killing a zombie monkey as it cycles the power-up after it steals one.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II [ ]

• Die Rise - Unobtainable Easter Egg in the first elevator shaft from the spawn room.
• Cell Block - Found in the corner of the library, in the same location as the Olympia . Next to the spawn room in Mob of the Dead.
• Buried - Available as one of the Persistent Upgrades by taking a sufficient amount of fall damage repeatedly (Note that it does not protect the player from over-cooked grenades or fall damage).

• Origins - Obtained via the Der Wunderfizz machine. Not physically available.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 [ ]

• Blood of the Dead - In the same place found in Mob of the Dead.

Appearance [ ]

There are four levers, from up to down, coloured red, green, white and purple. Under them, a bottle dispenser with a coffee cup in it can be seen. Under that, the words "Flopper PhD" can also be seen. On the top of the machine, the PhD Flopper shield can be seen, with several rods with yellow spheres stick out of it.

Call of Duty Online [ ]

PhD Flopper appears in Cyborg Rising mode of Call of Duty Online , translated as Armor Cola . It is exclusive to the character Sergeant , and is awarded to the player after surviving three rounds.

MWZ: How to get free PhD Flopper – Easter Egg guide

• BY Joe Harby
• 18 November 2023 19:06 GMT

This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Zombies (MWZ) easter egg guide explains how to get free PhD Flopper .

MW3 ‘s Zombies mode (MWZ) might be our favourite part of the game. It mixes up the familiar round-based Zombies formula and replaces with an experience based on Warzone ‘s DMZ. Many Zombies hallmarks return, including Perk-a-Colas.

As usual, they are purchasable via in-game vending machines. However, you can also get them for free by completing special easter eggs for each Perk-a-Cola.

While it’s worth noting these easter eggs can only be completed once per lobby and will grant the perk to just one squad member, they are still worth doing.

PhD Flopper – which negates self-inflicted damage and creates a powerful explosion when dolphin diving – has its own easter egg. Having completed the easter egg for ourselves, we can now share all the necessary steps with you. Check out our easter egg guide below.

How to get free PhD Flopper in Zombies (MWZ) – Easter Egg guide

This is how to get PHD Flopper for free in Modern Warfare III Zombies (MWZ):

Go to the top of Shahin Manor at map coordinates H7. Use the individual roofs to climb up onto the wooden pergola (shown in the images below).

From the top of the pergola, sprint to the edge and perform a dolphin dive into the large swimming pool below.

If completed successfully, a reward portal containing PhD Flopper will appear under the water. This will only be visible and accessible to the player that completed the easter egg.

And there you have it – that’s how to get PhD Flopper for free in MW3 Zombies by completing an easter egg.
