; Kaboom Kola
: ''“Put more bang in your bite.”''

== Overview ==
'''Kaboom Kola''' is Catastropop’s Spicy Cherry energy soda, designed to **increase all weapon damage**. Each purchase boosts the player’s **Damage perk** by +1, making every shot pack more punch regardless of the weapon.

== Mechanics ==
* **Interact range:** 16 units.  
* **Interaction:** Instant; spawns a drink entity (currently using `sHandlingDrink`).  
* **Scaling:** Cost increases with each Damage perk level.  
* **Audio:** **sndBuy** on purchase, **sndPowerDrink** on drink.

=== Cost ===
* **Formula:** `<code>cost = 1000 * (perks.damage + 1)</code>`  
* **Rounding:** `<code>cost = round(cost / 25) * 25</code>`  

=== Effect ===
* **Per purchase:** `perks.damage += 1`  
* **Global buff:** All weapons benefit from the increased damage perk.  
* **Stacking:** Linear — each point applies equally across all weapons.  

== Strategy ==
* **Core perk:** Strong early investment; fewer bullets per kill = more points earned.  
* **Synergy:** Great alongside the [[Beastinator]], multiplying gains from weapon evolutions.  
* **Scaling cost:** Gets expensive fast, so balance it against survivability perks like health or speed.  

== Trivia ==
* The internal sprite is currently called `sHandlingDrink`, since the damage and handling sprites were swapped in development. The team felt the art fit better the other way around, but the sprite names were never renamed.  
* “Kaboom Kola” beat out dev jokes like “Cherry Pain Punch” and “Overkill Orange.”
