Prelude in Violet/Perk-o-lator

The Perk-o-lator is a new utility debuting in Prelude in Violet. Introduced on Schule für die Untoten, the machine acts as the perk equivalent to the Pack-a-Punch, allowing players to receive new abilities from classic perks. Just like the Pack-a-Punch Machine, perks can only go through the Perk-o-lator once in an upgraded state. Should the player go down, the upgraded perks will be lost and requires the original perk to be reacquired then upgraded again. The Perk-o-lator is usually activated during the puzzle to unlock Pack-a-Punch on most maps.

Usage
The Perk-o-lator behaves in much the same way that the Pack-a-Punch Machine does, just designed for perks instead of weapons. The machine appears to be a stylized 1950's beverage dispenser with stickers for most of the Perk-a-Colas placed on its body. Once activated, the machine allows the player to upgrade a perk for double its base cost, granting them a "supercharged" version of the perk with new abilities added on to its present ones. In order to pick which perk is to be upgraded, a menu pops up upon activating the machine to make a selection from. Other than the additional abilities, no changes to a perk's name, icon, or machine take place.

Due to the nature of the machine requiring double the cost of the base perk to use, the price can vary wildly. On solo, the lowest price obtainable is with a first purchase Quick Revive at a cost of only 1000 points to upgrade. During a Bonfire Sale, the price drops to one-fifth the upgrade cost.

Trivia
