CoD: Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies

Zombies mode is the most fun mode in CoD BO7. You can completely forget your brain and unleash a hail of bullets on the zombies.

But wait a minute, before you throw brain away, here are some tips to make your Zombies mode even more enjoyable and fun.

1. Necrofluid Gauntlet

When you get Wonder Weapon Necrofluid Gauntlet, it will replace your melee weapon. This exclusive melee attack can one-shot zombies at very high waves.

When paired with Melee Macchiato Perk-a-Cola and Strength Training augmentation, it becomes an extremely fast-firing and powerful melee weapon, which helps conserve ammo.

Furthermore, whether you use this weapon to absorb ammo or kill zombies in melee, it will restore your health. Toxic Growth is a Field Upgrade, giving you 400 health points, which will help you survive when surrounded by zombies.

2. D.A.W.G. Supply Function

Summon a D.A.W.G. and switch it to Sentry Mode. A supply prompt will appear behind it. Interacting with it will grant you one free primary weapon magazine, one lethal gadget, and one tactical gadget. This technique is very useful when far from ammo boxes.

3. Pre-spawning Zursa Technique

Zursa usually appears in wave 16, but you don't actually need to wait until wave 16. You can pre-spawn Zursa. Equip Necrofluid Gauntlet and shoot three skulls in Zarya Cosmodrome area, in any order. After shooting all three, a Zursa bear with glowing purple eyes will immediately spawn.

You can use Hunter Bot tactical grenade, which deals massive damage to Zursa, about 2/3 of its health(This method is effective for the first 30 rounds). Then you can use the hand cannon killstreak bonus from Crafting Table, aiming at the spores on the bear for extremely high damage.

4. Ravager Monkey Bomb Easter Egg

When Ravager makes a move like Monkey Bomb, it means it's about to leave the map. This usually happens in two situations: first, in a special round, it leaves with rewards like maximum ammo. Second, it has absorbed three different loot items on the ground. This is a warning sign, and you must defeat it quickly, or you'll miss out on the rewards.

5. Free Pack-a-Punch

At the spawn point, use Fumigator to spray two plants, then place a Toxic Growth Field Upgrade there. This has a high chance of getting better rewards, including a free Pack-a-Punch. Activating Rampage Inducer allows for faster charging of field-level upgrades.

Upgrading Ol' Tessie to have an Abomination Carcass at the front allows it to use its laser cannon to destroy purple plants in fog zones. Destroying these plants in later rounds has a chance to drop Pack-a-Punch Crystals, free tools, and even Ray Guns.

6. Survival Tips For Falling From Heights Without Skills

When jumping from heights such as the bridge in Ashes of the Damned map, even without Stamina Up skill or damage reduction boost, you can avoid fall death using the new Combat Roll. Simply hold down the crouch key during your fall, and your character will perform a roll upon landing to absorb damage.

7. Self-Resurrection Techniques

In Zombie Mode, one death doesn't mean the end of the game. Besides being resurrected by teammates, you can achieve numerous self-resurrections by combining multiple skills and boosts.

When you equip Equivalent Exchange Augment follow-up to Quick Revive perk, you are allowed to self-revive 3 times, retaining all perks after each revival. After exhausting Equivalent Exchange Augment uses, by saving, exiting, and re-entering the game, applying Dying Wish Augment to Quick Revive grants an additional 3 revival opportunities, but you will lose Quick Revive perk.

You can also craft 4 Self-Revive tools in the game using new enhancements. Additionally, when Mask of Salvation major enhancement of Wisp Tea similar perk is active, the wisp can revive the player, up to three times per round. You can use this technique to complete some survival challenges in Zombies mode.

8. Ol' Tessie Tips

When driving Ol' Tessie in foggy areas, running over green spores will heal it, but avoid running over yellow spores that explode and cause damage. This effectively maintains its health before returning to Ashwood garage for formal repairs.

If you place Point Turret on the roof of Ol' Tessie and then drive it, the turret will automatically attack zombies and Ravagers chasing the tank, becoming a mobile firing platform. Even when the vehicle is stopped, the turret continues to operate.

When surrounded by zombies, players can jump into a parked Ol' Tessie and use its turret. Attacking Zursa's weak points with the turret deals approximately 12,000 critical damage, is also effective against regular zombies and earns points, and the turret has no cooldown.

Furthermore, during the first and second phases of the boss fight, when using Ol' Tessie to ram the boss, there's no need to use a speed boost. As long as the ramming doesn't start from a completely stationary position at the edge of the circular platform, the damage dealt at normal speed is exactly the same as the damage dealt by a speed boost.

Even during the immune phase of the boss Veytharion, there's no need to use speed boost, and a normal ramming will expose its vitals.

Zombies mode is the most meticulously crafted mode in Black Ops 7, with the developers having hidden a lot of content. Explore further, and you'll discover even more tips and tricks.

CoD Black Ops 7 Season 1 received an update on December 16th, the last major patch of 2025.

This patch affects a large number of game glitches, but some glitches remain exploitable. Below are some patches usable in solo play, which you can use to upgrade or infinitely use your Gobblegum.

Gobblegum Exploitation

This exploit allows you to use Gobblegum to obtain unlimited ammo or Turn Off Rounds to obtain more Gobblegum and XP loops. Note that this exploit only works with certain Gobblegums.

Preparation

First, you need to prepare two Gobblegum custom packs. The first pack should contain any useless Gobblegum, and the second pack should contain Gobblegums you want to use. Make sure to place them in the first three slots.

How Does The Exploit Work?

Let's see how to exploit this exploit; the steps are actually quite simple. Choose the desired Gobblegum effect and use it. When the animation of it being thrown into control appears, immediately pause the game and quickly switch Gobblegum to Pack 1. You'll find that while you get the effect of Pack 1 Gobblegum, it actually consumes Gobblegum from Pack 1.

Alternatively, if you use Round Off Gobblegum, you can end the round in Round 1. With Rampage Inducer activated, you can create an infinite first-round loop, each round taking only 15-20 seconds.

Ashes Of The Damned Exploit

The second exploit is located at the spawn point on Ashes of the Damned map. It requires you to have Ol' Tessie vehicle and upgrade it. This is currently the best exploit for farming Gobblegum, Weapon XP, Rank XP, and Camos.

Preparation

You need to complete the early missions on Ashwood map to unlock Ol' Tessie upgrade, which should only take about 5 minutes. Then drive the upgraded Ol' Tessie back to the spawn point. Park the truck between the ammo crate and the wall, blocking the passage, but adjust its position to ensure that zombies can enter through a small gap at the back of the truck.

How Does The Exploit Work?

Once successful, zombies will only come from two fixed directions. You can safely stay behind the truck and attack the zombies. If you run out of ammo, you can replenish it with the ammo crate at any time.

This exploit is effective against Bear Zombies (Zursa), but it cannot completely block Ravager and Special Zombie Rounds. When Ravager zombies occasionally cross the barrier built by Ol' Tessie, it is recommended to jump out of the area to eliminate them before returning. It is recommended that you use this exploit after 30 or 40 rounds, and use it during double XP or double Bubble Gum events to maximize the benefits.

Headshot Glitch Locations

There are two spots where you can approach zombies from a distance, but you'll almost never be attacked. You can use these spots to safely farm headshots and XP.

Blackwater Lake

In Blackwater Lake, there's a wooden ladder extending from the villa onto the lake. Below the ladder, in the snow, there's a small space. With a few tries, you can squeeze in. This spot is good for farming melee kills, especially in Directed Mode.

However, getting in is somewhat difficult; you'll need to try several times, and Ravager can throw meat chunks at you.

Exit 115

Exit 115 is easier to access. It's near the spawn point. You need to crouch next to the sign on the rooftop, facing the trees, and then move forward very slowly until your character slightly sinks into the spot.

The zombie will get stuck in front of you and try to throw meat chunks, but you can't attack directly. However, Ravagers and Crawlers can still attack the player, so it's recommended to use this exploit before reaching the target round limit or encountering a Ravager's round.

AFK Experience Explosion

This exploit combines an Exit 115 glitch with a series of quests, but requires you to be in Directed Mode to exploit it.

First, you need to turn on all power on the map, then trigger Uber Klaus Easter egg at the spawn point and defeat him to obtain Stabilizer Chip.

Next, enter Sheriffs Office in Ashwood, use a stun grenade on Klaus in the cage, and use the keypad to release him as a temporary Companion.

Take Klaus to Zarya Cosmodrome in the north of the map and command him to stomp on the panel to activate the side Easter egg. Stand in the red light to scan yourself, survive, and obtain Aether Barrel.

Head to Aether Barrels at Ashwood, Blackwater Lake, and Vandon Farm in sequence. Each time, you need to survive for 1-2 minutes. Place the charged Aether Barrel into the cube in the farm's basement.

Use Launchpad to travel back and forth between Janus Towers, observing the symbols on the rooftops, and input the three correct symbols into the cube. Activate the eye on the back of the cube, and you will unlock Wonder Weapon, Necrofluid Gauntlet.

How To AFK?

Upgrade Necrofluid Gauntlet in Pack-a-Punch, then in the controller settings, set Manual Fire Behavior to Hold. The same setting applies to PC players using a controller.

Simultaneously hold down the aiming and firing. The weapon will fire continuously and automatically. Then, enter Exit 115 glitch location to AFK.

Additionally, Directed Mode has a forced exit time limit of approximately 6 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to save and quit via the pause menu after approximately 5 to 5 hours and 30 minutes of idling, then reload the game to reset the timer. The timer starts from the moment the game loads, so complete preparations as soon as possible after reloading.

This exploit was confirmed to be available in Season 1, but it is most effective in solo play. Players are advised not to exploit this in multiplayer mode to maintain a fair gaming environment.
