"Double tap root beer! Double Tap, Double Tap, Double Tap, Double Tap, Double Tap, Double Tap Root Beer. Root Beer. Who doesn't like the root beer?"

— Edward Richtofen

Double Tap Root Beer is a Perk-a-Cola in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II that is featured in the Zombies game mode. Double Tap increases the fire rate (and recoil accordingly) of all weapons by 25%. It also allows the player to lay down Bouncing Betties and Claymores faster and makes players operate the bolt on bolt-action rifles and the pump on pump-action shotguns (as well as the re-chambering of the M1216) noticeably quicker, as well as removing the firecap on semi-automatic weapons on the iOS version of Zombies. In the console version of Zombies, however, it simply raises the firecap.

It costs 2000 points. It appears on every map other than Nacht der Untoten, Dead Ops Arcade, and Ascension (possibly replaced by Stamin-Up). It can be seen as a risky perk, as it increases fire rate and Bouncing Betty speed, however many weapons have high fire rate anyway. This effect is the most noticeable on weapons like Submachine guns, which often have a highfire rate. In Call of Duty: World at War, the effect is also amplified by the Pack-a-Punch Machine as many of the upgraded weapons gain an increased fire rate. This can cause ammo to deplete at an alarming rate if not used properly. On the other hand, the increased fire rate raises the time-to-kill, making it easier to kill a group of zombies. Double Tap may not be helpful in the early rounds, when zombies have low health, but in the later rounds it becomes very effective. It's often useful to have Speed Cola because of the fast depletion of a single magazine. For reasons stated above, it can also be useful for players with fast trigger fingers who happen to like semi-automatic guns like the M14 or the M1 Garand, but complain about low firecap.

The colour for this perk is orange, and the icon for this perk in Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops is two bullets going through the air. In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, however, the icon is one bullet trailing behind two others, referencing its updated effect.

Double Tap IIEdit

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the Perk-A-Cola returns as "Double Tap II". In addition to increasing fire rate, it fires two shots (simultaneously) for every round when a weapon is fired with the cost of one ammo, effectively doubling the damage. This does not apply to the Ray Gun, Ballistic Knife or explosive weapons. This perk is especially effective with players who equip weapons with high fire rate, low damage and recoil, such as Light Machine Guns and Submachine Guns.
