Rumors of the Double Tap perk's return to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies have ignited excitement within the game's community. Following a dip in player numbers, developers seem to be reintroducing beloved features to reignite player engagement.

The initial hints surfaced within a Black Ops 6 Season 1 bundle.  Players noticed a charm resembling the original Double Tap perk logo on the Repairman Operator's belt.  Further fueling speculation, the Big Boomer skin for the Marine SP shotgun features the text "Double Tap" prominently displayed.

Activision's Stephanie Snowden seemingly confirmed Double Tap's return during the March 26, 2025 episode of the COD POD.  Responding to a fan's question about the next perk, Snowden donned a cowboy hat, adopted a Southern accent, and replied, "You sure can, partner!" This, combined with the Western theme associated with Double Tap Root Beer, led many to believe the perk's return is imminent.  Snowden promised a reveal on March 27, 2025, further amplifying anticipation for Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 3.

Double Tap's popularity stems from its consistent utility across various Call of Duty titles.  The perk boosts fire rate, and in some iterations, even allows players to fire two bullets for the price of one. Its versatility makes it a staple in optimal perk loadouts for Zombies mode.

While some speculate about other Western-themed perks like Tombstone and Mule Kick, the specific phrasing of "partner" used by Snowden strongly resonates with the promotional song for Double Tap Root Beer, solidifying the community's belief.
