CoD Black Ops 7 Zombies Mode 8 Tips | Boost Survival, Melee Damage, And Use Ol' Tessie Tricks
Posted: Dec 22, 2025 Views: 77
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.
