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.
