News Tag: Cod Black Ops 7

While Call of Duty Black Ops 7 hasn't received overwhelmingly positive reviews, it must be acknowledged that it does bring some appealing new gameplay features compared to its predecessors, such as Cursed Mode.

This mode is part of the entire Zombies mode, and its novelty and challenge lie in the fact that you only have a Jager 45 pistol as your weapon at the start.

You then need to complete various trials to find hidden relics that serve as new gear or buffs, helping you complete the remaining trials to unlock the final reward.

Below, we will introduce the entire relic system and provide a detailed guide on how to unlock all Tier 1 relics.

How To Unlock The Relic System?

First, you need to know that the entire Cursed mode includes three tiers, from lowest to highest: Tier 1 Grim, Tier 2 Sinister, and Tier 3 Wicked. Each tier has three relics waiting to be found.

Next, you need to complete Ashes of the Damned main quest at least once in standard mode to begin unlocking and using the relics. Here are all the relics and their tiers:

• Tier 1: Lawyer's Pen
• Tier 1: Dragon Wings
• Tier 1: Teddy Bear
• Tier 2: Vril Sphere
• Tier 2: Pending
• Tier 2: Focusing Stone
• Tier 3: Bus
• Tier 3: Dragon
• Tier 3: Blood Vials

You must unlock all Tier 1 relics and at least two Tier 2 relics to start unlocking Tier 3 relics. To obtain Zombies mode camo, you need to unlock and use the corresponding relic to complete a Zombies mode game.

How To Find Lawyer's Pen?

After completing 20 rounds in Zombies mode in any way, you can begin searching for Tier 1 relic, Lawyer's Pen. Before you start, remember to obtain a napalm grenade or Molotov cocktail and equip it to your weapon; you will need it for the following steps.

• Step 1: Travel from Ashwood to Blackwater Lake. Lost Cabins will appear on the left side of the road.
• Step 2: Throw any item to attract the attention of nearby zombies, then enter the cabin and find the first candle on the dressing table.
• Step 3: Return to Ashwood and find the second candle behind Jugger-nog vending machine on the first floor of Rusty Rabbit bar on the west side of town.
• Step 4: Travel to Vandorn Farm and find the third candle on the nightstand in the upstairs bedroom.
• Step 5: Light all the candles, then go downstairs at Vandorn Farm to redeem a Brain Rot upgrade.
• Step 6: Find a green portal on the west side of the farm and interact with it to enter another dimension.
• Step 7: Defeat all enemies and survive four waves of attacks in Grim Trial in this dimension to unlock Lawyer's Pen.

Carrying items like Molotov cocktails is necessary because only they can hit and light the candles in this trial, while Brain Rot upgrade causes Shock Mimic zombies in Grim Trial to attack each other, reducing your combat pressure.

How To Find Dragon Wings?

The only prerequisite for unlocking this relic is to complete 20 rounds of Zombies mode, then return to Vandorn Farm, turn on the power, and from the farm, hit the following three portals in one time to travel to Janus Towers Plaza:

• 1. The central power line tower on the left side of the plaza
• 2. The center of the Janus Towers building
• 3. Near the wreckage on the right side of the plaza

Afterward, you will successfully land on the plaza. Then return to the north of Vandorn Farm to find the green portal belonging to Dragon Wings, enter it, and complete the trial to obtain the relic.

How To Find Teddy Bear?

The prerequisite for finding this relic is to complete 20 rounds of combat and unlock Aether Shroud Field Upgrade and Necrofluid Gauntlet.

Then you need to activate Aether Shroud Field Upgrade to make attacking teddy bears appear throughout the map. Equip Necrofluid Gauntlet and kill all 10 of them. You can determine their locations by their names:

• Janus Towers Teddy Bear
• Blackwater Lake Teddy Bear
• Lost Cabins Teddy Bear
• Ashwood Church Teddy Bear
• Ashwood Rabbit Alley Teddy Bear
• Grounded Ship Teddy Bear
• Vandorn Farm Teddy Bear
• Zarya Cosmodrome Teddy Bear
• Zarya Cosmodrome Support Systems Teddy Bear
• Exit 115 Teddy Bear

After completing this part of the challenge, return to Vandorn Farm again, find and enter the new green portal on the wall to the left outside the garage to unlock this trial.

This challenge also has four rounds of combat, with the first and third rounds featuring regular zombies, and the second and fourth rounds featuring respawning special enemies.

After defeating all enemies and completing the battle, you will unlock the third Tier 1 relic, Teddy Bear.

During combat, the two weapons you unlocked earlier will prioritize consuming essence when firing, before using bullets. Essence can also be used to exchange armor or ammunition.

After unlocking all three Tier 1 relics, you can activate them to begin farming for Tier 2 relics and utilize their effects to more easily handle subsequent battles.

This concludes the introduction to the relic system and how to unlock Tier 1 relics. If you haven't started collecting them yet, this guide will be helpful!

CoD: Black Ops 7, a first-person shooter, combines FPS shooting, tactics, story, and multiplayer PvP elements to create a thrilling and tense gaming atmosphere that has attracted many players.

Since CoD BO7 is a shooter, different equipment and weapons are crucial for players. Currently, BO7 has released 30 weapons, with various types of guns being the most comfortable for most players to use.

Players can also improve weapon stability, aiming accuracy, and other attributes by equipping appropriate attachments, making them their most effective tools. Alternatively, you can upgrade your weapons using different levels of workbenches, especially Jailbreak Workbenches, but higher-level workbenches are located in dangerous areas with significant risks.

Therefore, I highly recommend improving weapon performance by equipping attachments. However, with so many different weapons and attachments in the game, how do you choose to achieve the best results? Don't worry, I'll recommend the best loadouts for five guns to help you improve your combat effectiveness in the game.

1. MXR-17

MXR-17 is a fully automatic assault rifle in the game with excellent accuracy and range, and its firepower is also strong enough, but its relatively slow mobility and rate of fire affect its output. We can improve its shortcomings using various attachments. The following loadouts are recommended:

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO (easy to operate, suitable for all distances)
• Muzzle: Redwell-90 Compensator (enhances Vertical Recoil)
• Barrel: 20" Imperial Barrel
• Under Barrel: Sentry Pro Handstop (improves Horizontal Recoil Control and various aiming shortcomings)
• Magazine: Extended Mag (increases magazine capacity from 25 to 30)
• Stock: VAS TH-09 Stock (improves aiming movement speed and recoil resistance)
• Comb: Aria Assail Comb (improves aiming and firing speed)
• Fire Mods: Recoil Sync Unit (improves Vertical, Horizontal and Recoil Control)

With these eight attachments, we can achieve extremely high sprint firing rate, aiming speed, movement speed, and very easy-to-control recoil, while also making the rifle incredibly powerful.

This loadout set is highly recommended, making MXR-17 one of the fastest-killing assault rifles in the game. You can use it to get a headshot kill in three shots.

If you don't have the complete eight attachments, you can remove Optic, Recoil Sync Unit, and Stock, and use the remaining five loadout sets for equally excellent handling and recoil control.

2. Peacekeeper Mk1

This is an excellent fully automatic assault rifle with superb mobility and control, but it has high recoil and limited range. However, it has one advantage: if players want a more aggressive playstyle, they can also use it as a submachine gun. Recommended loadouts are as follows:

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO (Still the same one, suitable for any range)
• Muzzle: K&S Stalker 57-X (Does not reveal your position on the mini-map after each shot)
• Barrel: 23.5" Longbow Barrel
• Under Barrel: Sentry Pro Handstop
• Magazine: Vulcan Reach Extension (Increases magazine capacity to 40 rounds)
• Rear Grip: DiveEdge-7 Grip (Improves close-range handling)
• Stock: EAM Blitzfire Stock (Improves aiming movement speed and recoil resistance)
• Fire Mods: Buffer Spring (Smoothers recoil control)

Once you install these eight attachments, you'll see Firing Range, boasting extremely high rates of fire, aiming speed, and movement speed, as well as recoil control without a compensator, making you shine in long-range combat.

However, the biggest characteristic of the fully equipped Mk1 is that you need to fire while moving, as its long-range damage isn't as high. Maps like Nuketown 2025 are more suitable for its use.

If you don't want to equip so many, you can replace Silencer with K&S Compensator and remove Stock, Buffer Spring, and Magazine. You'll find that its handling is still excellent, and we can use Compensator to compensate for the lack of recoil control caused by the absence of Buffer Spring.

In general, you'll find that in battles, Peacekeeper Mk1 paired with Compensator is not only powerful, but also shortens the time-to-kill (TTK).

3. Carbon 57

As a fully automatic submachine gun, it has a very large ammo capacity, and its range and recoil are quite considerable, but its damage is below the average level for similar submachine guns.

The recommended loadouts are as follows:

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO (compensates for Iron Sights' shortcomings)
• Muzzle: K&S Compensator (eliminates Vertical Recoil)
• Barrel: 14" Rockleigh Barrel (increases range)
• Under Barrel: Vitalize Handstop (enhances overall gun handling)
• Magazine: Compact-246 Fast Mag (reduces magazine capacity to 40 rounds, but improves aiming, firing, and reload speed)
• Rear Grip: Bombus Quick Grip (improves close-quarters combat capability)
• Stock: Bowen Resolute Pad (enhances recoil resistance and aiming speed while moving)
• Fire Mods: Accelerated Recoil System

Once you equip all these attachments, you'll find that the previously difficult-to-control submachine gun not only has improved aiming and firing speeds, but also becomes much easier to control.

If you only want to use five attachments, you can remove Magazine, Stock, and Optic. However, be aware that removing Optic will require you to spend time familiarizing yourself with its original Iron Sights.

This isn't a major problem; you can practice by playing against bots in CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies.

In short, Carbon 57 is powerful enough, especially at medium range, making it very practical. Its firepower can even surpass some more accurate weapons, such as Dravec 45 and RK-9.

4. M8A1

M8A1 is a four-round burst rifle that unlocks at level 49. This gun becomes excellent if accuracy and range can be improved. Recommended loadouts are as follows:

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO
• Muzzle: Redwell 5.56 Compensator
• Barrel: 23" Barrier Barrel (increases damage range)
• Under Barrel: Ironhold Angled Grip (improves overall gun stability)
• Magazine: Sentinel Extended Mag (increases capacity to 40 rounds, allowing for continuous 1-round bursts)
• Rear Grip: K&S Raze Grip (improves close-range handling)
• Stock: Gridlock Stock (improves muzzle stability and aiming movement speed)
• Fire Mods: Buffer Spring

Once you load out all the above attachments, using this gun in combat will give you an unparalleled shooting experience with its continuous fire, incredibly fast aiming speed, and one-shot kills. It boasts powerful firepower and decent handling, making it highly recommended.

If you only want to use five attachments, you'll need to remove Magazine, Stock, and Buffer Spring. This will require a slight adjustment to your shooting posture, as Buffer Spring will be missing. However, this won't affect its performance; it's effective at any range.

5. Dravec 45

Dravec 45 is a fully automatic submachine gun with very low recoil and decent range, but low damage, especially at long range. Therefore, we need to compensate for these weaknesses with appropriate attachments.

These are the loadouts it requires:

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO
• Muzzle: Bowen .45 Suppressor
• Barrel: 19" EAM Horizon Barrel
• Magazine: Gator Extended Mag
• Rear Grip: Herald-Z1 Grip
• Stock: Defiant-45 Skeletal Stock
• Laser: LTI Swift Point Laser (increases aiming speed and rate of fire)
• Fire Mods: Accelerated Recoil System

Once fully equipped, Dravec 45 will boast extremely high rate of fire, aiming speed, movement speed, and controllable recoil, making it one of the strongest submachine guns in BO7. In mid-to-long-range combat, pulling out this gun will allow you to quickly outmaneuver your opponents.

To equip this gun with five attachments, you need to remove Optic, Laser, and Fire Mods. However, even with Optic removed, the gun comes with Iron... Sights are still very useful, and I even prefer this loadout set to the full set.

These are our five most recommended loadout sets for Black Ops 7. We hope they provide you with some good equipment ideas for the game. Thanks for reading!

CoD Black Ops 7 uses the prestige system as a marker and incentive to progress. You unlock rewards by advancing your prestige rank, resetting your progress at the maximum rank of 55.

After 10 resets, you'll unlock Prestige Master rank, and your character level cap will increase to 1000. Until then, each reset rewards you with one Permanent Unlock Token.

After a prestige reset, most unlocked items will be relocked and unusable until you reach the required unlock rank again. However, Permanent Unlock Tokens allow you to keep a desired gear for a new playthrough.

Therefore, to ensure you maximize your gains from the previous adventure after each prestige reset, you should be more careful when permanently unlocking a gear. Below, we recommend several items worth prioritizing.

Recon Perk Ghost - Rank 32

Generally, Rank 50 and above are better, but this perk is incredibly useful, especially when you become vulnerable again after a reset.

It allows you to move, place, or control scorestreaks without being detected by enemy drones or radar devices like reconnaissance pulses, providing strong cover and making it suitable for advancing and maintaining your safety.

Therefore, whether you frequently encounter drones due to playing objective-oriented modes, or the enemy has deployed numerous units in the air that can locate you, you can use Ghost to successfully bypass them and achieve your combat objectives.

Assault Rifle Peacekeeper MK1 - Rank 52

While this assault rifle's controls are somewhat unconventional, resembling a submachine gun, this is negligible compared to its reliable base damage. It boasts excellent rate of fire and mobility, and becomes even more powerful with proper loadouts.

The only drawback of this weapon is its high unlock requirement, and its practicality in the early game is inferior to some regular perks. Therefore, we recommend unlocking Peacekeeper MK1 only after resetting multiple times.

Recon Perk Ninja - Rank 53

Although this perk requires a high rank, it's definitely worth unlocking as your first permanent buff after a single reset. As a Tier 1 perk, it completely silences your movement, making it impossible for enemies to track you by footsteps.

Generally, Ninja perk is more advantageous when running on maps where concealment is difficult, or when used by more skilled players, but its special feature is that it provides reliable assistance even in the early stages after a reset.

Wildcard Perk Greed - Rank 33

With so many perks in the game, you'll always wish you could equip them all, but unfortunately, the number you can equip is limited unless you have Wildcard Perk Greed.

This Wildcard allows you to carry up to four perks. You can equip all of them with stealth perks like Ghost to maximize your concealment, or you can equip perks with different effects to become a well-rounded warrior.

However, even if you acquire this Wildcard from the start using Permanent Unlock Tokens, it will only be truly effective in the mid-to-late game of your current prestige, because only then will you have enough perks to equip.

Wildcard Specialist - Rank 53

This Wildcard can also equip more perks, but only by sacrificing existing scorestreaks. However, if the perks you choose synergize well, it's definitely worth it, especially if you have Wildcard Perk Greed.

Submachine Gun MPC-25 - Rank 55

This submachine gun is definitely one weapon you should own and use in CoD Black Ops 7. Whether it's damage output, mobility, or rate of fire, MPC-25 offers an optimal experience.

While there are superior weapons in the game, if you have Permanent Unlock Tokens, you should prioritize unlocking MPC-25 to maximize its value.

Item Type Unlock Priority

Although our recommended gears cover various types, if you've only reset two or three times and your token count is very limited, we suggest prioritizing perks, then Wildcards, and finally weapons.

This is because perks and Wildcards provide more comprehensive benefits than the direct damage output of weapons, ensuring your safety and improvement after resetting the game. After all, even the most powerful gun is useless if you can't even protect yourself.

Why Do You Need To Reset?

In fact, obtaining Permanent Unlock Tokens to unlock gear is just one benefit of resetting the prestige system, not the core purpose. Its main function is to allow you to explore more upgrade paths, enabling continuous effort throughout BO7 lifecycle.

After resetting, you can start playing from the early stages, but with more combat experience, allowing you to experiment with different gear combinations or create new combat styles.

Furthermore, each reset signifies completing a prestige level, unlocking corresponding prestige icons to showcase your dedication, skill, and time commitment to the game to other players, allowing you to enjoy the feeling of being envied!

The items we've introduced are just for reference. With more tokens, you can unlock more items as needed to continue advancing your prestige progress! Good luck!

Even if you permanently unlock multiple gears with tokens, you'll still face challenges like consuming time to level up and being attacked by other players after a reset.

Therefore, if your budget allows, you can absolutely buy cheap Black Ops 7 products on IGGM based on your individual needs. We can help you progress faster through various means such as bot lobbies, redeem codes, and more! Give it a try now!

CoD BO7 Season 1 will begin this Thursday, December 4th. This update is massive, featuring multiple new maps, new game modes, and new Battle Pass content.

However, this discussion focuses on the new weapons and weapon attachments for Season 1. While CoD BO7 doesn't have the largest total number of weapons in the series' history, it's still considerable. New weapons for Season 1 will be released gradually throughout the season at a relatively even pace.

Battle Pass Weapons

These weapons can be obtained immediately upon Season 1 launch by unlocking and progressing through Battle Pass.

KOGOT-7 Fully Automatic SMG

• Acquisition Method: Battle Pass, Page 3 reward.

KOGOT-7 boasts excellent mobility and a high fire rate, but a relatively short range and moderate recoil. It's suitable for close-quarters combat, handling both hip-fire and ADS situations effectively.

Its clean Iron Sights facilitate tracking moving targets, inspired by MP7, making it suitable for players who enjoy mobile shooting. When the weapon reaches level 39 and Prestige Attachment is selected, Akimbo (dual-wielding) attachment is available. Dual-wielding slightly reduces the gun's damage, range, and hip-fire dispersion, but the doubled firepower compensates for this.

Maddox RFB Automatic Assault Rifle

• Acquisition Method: Battle Pass, Page 6 reward.

Maddox RFB is a rifle that returns from Black Ops 4. It features a high rate of fire, large magazine capacity, and controllable recoil. Its performance is significantly improved with weapon upgrades and unlocking attachments such as the extended mag, making it suitable for long range precision shooting or mid-range rapid-fire engagements.

Upon reaching weapon level 43 and completing Prestige reset, 13-inch Burst Barrel is available. This attachment increases the rate of fire of every second bullet, thus enhancing firepower, but at the expense of a slight loss of accuracy.

Weekly Challenges Weapons

Weekly Challenge system returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1. Players can unlock the weekly mastery reward by completing various challenges in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.

Ballistic Knife

Ballistic Knife is the mastery reward for the first week of Weekly Challenge. It is a spring-powered, launcher-style knife that combines high-damage melee attacks with a recoverable throwing knife. As a melee weapon, it has no attachments and does not offer Prestige Attachments.

Season Events Weapons

These weapons cannot be obtained on the first day of the season and must be unlocked through subsequent in-season events.

Sokol 545

Sokol 545 is a newly released fully automatic light machine gun. It can switch modes according to your needs, converting to low rate of fire with high accuracy and long-range, or high rate of fire with high damage and high recoil.

After completing a Prestige reset, Sokol 545 gains MFS 48-Dread Bust Burst Mod Prestige Attachment. This attachment converts Sokol 545 into a 6-round burst weapon, significantly increasing the rate of fire but reducing damage and range, while improving recoil control and mobility.

NX Ravager

NX Ravager is a crossbow that fires high-damage bolts and can be configured to fire Explosive Bolts that detonate shortly after impact.

After completing a Prestige reset, you gain Tribolt Prestige Attachment, allowing you to load three bolts at once, increasing the rate of fire and reducing reload time.

Hawker HX

Hawker HX is a new sniper rifle inspired by Ballista from Black Ops 2. This bolt-action rifle boasts good handling and mobility, as well as high recoil control and flinch resistance.

The specific Prestige attachment has not been released. It is a classified barrel, reportedly supporting Tactical Stance sniping gameplay and providing enhanced mobility.

Strumwolf 45

Strumwolf 45 is a new fully automatic SMG with extremely low recoil. It has high headshot damage, but lower handling, mobility, and range.

The specific name of Strumwolf 45 Prestige Attachment has also not been released, and it is a Magazine-type attachment that will increase recoil and damage.

New Weapon Attachments

Similar to Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 3, Aftermarket Parts system will continue, with new content added in Season 1.

Akita Shotgun Scorchlink Akimbo

This attachment will be released as a Weekly Challenge reward. Since it wasn't included in the first week's rewards, it's speculated to be a second week's reward. It allows dual wielding two fully automatic shotguns with specific weapons.

Redwell Shade-X Suppressor

Redwell Shade-X Suppressor will also be released as a Weekly Challenge reward during the season. This is an suppressor attachment for all muzzle weapons, and it suppresses gunfire and improves both vertical and horizontal recoil control, at the expense of slightly reduced damage range and bullet velocity.

Other Announced Attachments

In addition to the attachments mentioned above, four new attachments have been announced, all of which will be available as weekly challenge rewards throughout the season. However, detailed information about these attachments has not yet been provided:

• Coda 9 Adaptive Discharge Mod
• AK-27 Battle Scar Conversion
• M8A1 Full Auto Conversion
• MPC-25 ContraBloom Laser

Season 1 Camo Optimization

Unlocking Singularity camo requires completing Shattered Gold camo, Arclight camo, and Tempest camo challenges for 30 weapons in sequence.

Since the weapons added in Season 1 will count towards the total number of skin challenges, players can use them to replace weapon categories that were difficult to complete in the initial version of the game, such as Launchers or Melee.

If you want to skip both launchers, you need to complete Arclight and Tempest skin challenges for at least one weapon in the new rifle and submachine gun categories respectively, replacing the two launchers with these two new weapons.

By the end of Season 1, the game will have added a variety of new weapons, theoretically allowing you to completely skip the initial launcher and melee weapon categories.

This concludes the general overview of the weapon section in CoD Black Ops 7 Season 1. The increased variety of weapons and attachments will undoubtedly enhance the multiplayer and zombie modes.

The new weapons mean you'll need to spend more time upgrading them and unlocking camouflage, but you can buy reliable CoD Black Ops 7 service from IGGM store to speed up the unlocking process and free up more time to enjoy the game.

Just one year after the release of CoD BO6, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 appeared on the scene. This rapid succession inevitably led to comparisons between the two games.

Especially given their remarkably similar game mode designs and their shared membership in the well-known Call of Duty franchise.

Below, I will provide a detailed introduction and comparison of their game modes, hoping this article will help you understand the differences and choose the game that best suits your needs.

Multiplayer Mode

Currently, CoD BO6 boasts a richer design in terms of game setting and core gameplay. However, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has gained popularity due to its engaging map designs and highly playable mechanics.

Maps

CoD BO6 currently features 45 multiplayer maps. And BO7 only has 19 maps, 17 of which are traditional maps. However, it will offer players the most new 6v6 maps in the series' history, allowing players to experience the game's rich design on these maps.

Format

Both games share the same basic gameplay in their Multiplayer Mode, requiring players to engage in 6v6 battles across various game modes to pursue ultimate victory. However, there are some special game modes that exist.

Skirmish, introduced in CoD BO7, allows players to engage in 20v20 battles. With such a large-scale melee, players will experience a rather chaotic scene.

Perks

As players level up, they unlock perks in the game, choosing from three categories: Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist.

In CoD BO6, selecting three perks of the same category activates Core Combat Specialty, granting additional buffs.

Black Ops 7 introduces Hybrid Combat Specialty, allowing players to mix three perks from two different categories to activate this effect. The benefits it provides will satisfy players' development in different directions.

Other

Both games offer numerous design features that enhance gameplay. For example, players can unlock and upgrade Prestige system by fighting and resetting levels. When the corresponding level is reached, you will receive generous rewards.

The difference lies in the rewards given to players. In BO6, players received a cosmetic set and a token to unlock any loadout item. In CoD Black Ops 7, not only can players reset their characters for rewards, but max-level weapons can also be upgraded to Prestige weapons, unlocking cosmetic items like weapon camos and charms.

Furthermore, the persistent lobbies, which players have strongly requested to return, are included in CoD BO7, providing an enhanced gameplay experience.

Zombies Mode

In this mode, players must fight against endless hordes of enemies. Over time, the number and difficulty of these opponents will increase.

Maps

While the current map content in CoD BO7's Zombies Mode is far less diverse than in BO6, it is expected that more turn-based and survival maps will be added in the future, potentially surpassing the number of maps in other games in the series.

This process is gradually being implemented. Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Season 1, launching on December 4th, will feature two survival maps and a turn-based map, Astra Malorum.

Game Modes

CoD BO7 Zombies Mode features a unique Cursed Mode, where players can experience more challenging scenarios, such as relying solely on their knowledge of the map and missions to navigate subsequent adventures. BO6's Grief Mode pits two squads against each other, with the player surviving the longest winning.

Compared to the mixed reception of Grief Mode, Cursed Mode has received widespread praise since its release. If you're wondering why these two modes have such different reputations, try them out for yourself.

Campaign Mode

Campaign Mode is the most significant difference between CoD Black Ops 7 and BO6, offering players almost entirely different gameplay experiences.

Format

In CoD BO6, the campaign mode was entirely a solo adventure, while in CoD Black Ops 7 it became an optional four-player co-op campaign mode.

Players new to the series will probably adapt to this mode more easily than those who wanted to try the sequel because of CoD BO6.

Characters

While both games draw inspiration from Black Ops series, there are specific differences. Characters from Black Ops or Black Ops Cold War return in CoD BO6, while those from BO2 appear in BO7.

Setting

CoD Black Ops 7 is set in the near future, allowing players to use weapons and other elements appropriate for the setting. BO6 is set during Gulf War in 1991.

New Content

Furthermore, CoD BO7 added an Endgame mode to Campaign Mode, increasing re-playability. Players must complete missions assigned by the game system through exploration of Avalon to level up their characters and ultimately engage in battles to defeat the final boss.

If you're new to the series, we recommend trying CoD Black Ops 7. The cooperative gameplay will enhance your experience and allow you to meet like-minded friends.

It's important to note that regardless of the game mode you choose in CoD Black Ops 7, the most crucial element is having proficient shooting skills and strong adventure abilities. This will allow you to unlock game features, upgrade your character and weapons, and more as you explore.

If you don't want to be killed immediately upon entering the game, continuously improve your skills. Besides honing your abilities in various game modes, you can also buy CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies from IGGM to compete against equally skilled players and bots, identifying your strengths and weaknesses.

In conclusion, while CoD BO6, having been released for a year, holds an advantage in terms of content richness, Black Ops 7 boasts more novel settings and innovations. Over time, CoD BO7 is expected to gradually increase its richness, providing players with even more gameplay content.

Players with different preferences will likely make different choices between these two games. They offer different development paths and unique gameplay mechanics, and whichever you choose, you can expect a thrilling and exciting adventure.

CoD Bo7 Zombies mode is the most exhilarating mode; all you need to do is figure out how to keep firing while outside the zombie horde.

Before Season 1, let's look at the 10 best weapons in Zombies mode. While their feel differs, they all allow you to crush hordes of zombies.

1. Shadow SK (Sniper)

This weapon is almost always a one-shot kill throughout the game, and its greatest strength lies in its stability when killing zombies. To efficiently kill Zursa Bear, you need to shoot their beehives first, exposing their weak points for easy critical hits.

You can use Tactical Stance for smoother movement, especially when paired with a scope, letting you switch between close-range tactical stance and long-range precision shooting. Adding Rapid Fire attachment makes this gun feel more like a precision rifle.

Augments:

• Stalker: Faster movement while aiming.
• Critical Eye: Body shots have a chance to critically hit.
• Double Impact: Consecutive hits on elite enemies deal massive damage.
• Double Play: Ammo is refunded upon kill.

2. XM325 (LMG)

XM325 is one of the two LMGs in the game. It's one of the best weapons in Zombie Mode, as no one would refuse to unleash hundreds of rounds on zombies.

You can choose to equip XM325 with 70-round or 85-round magazines, or opt for belt feed, which requires no reloading but can overheat.

XM325 has an extremely high rate of fire, so Rapid Fire is not recommended. Instead, 5.56 Caseless FMJ is recommended, as its higher penetration allows it to cut through more zombies, making every bullet more effective.

Augments:

• Critical Eye: Perfect for XM325 due to its high rate of fire and large magazine capacity.
• Guns Up: Allows you to fire while sprinting, effectively preventing you from being surrounded by zombies.
• Classic Formula: Allows you to reload faster.
• Double Impact: Helps you land consecutive hits, but it can also be used in Double Play.

3. M10 Breacher (Shotgun)

Every shotgun in Call of Duty series is extremely powerful, and M10 Breacher is one of the three initial shotguns in Black Ops 7. It's a pump-action shotgun with extremely high damage per bullet.

Holding down the fire button charges the shot, concentrating the bullet into a smaller area, similar to a slug shotgun. Using this method can quickly eliminate zombies like Zursa Bear.

After being Pack-a-Punched, it can achieve charged automatic fire, making it nearly fully automatic and capable of rapid, continuous, and accurate shots.

Its drawback is its slow rate of fire, but its single-shot damage is extremely high, making it the best choice in certain situations. Furthermore, you can equip it with dragon's breath attachment rounds to deal even more damage to Zursa Bears, making it a powerful crowd control weapon.

4. MPC-25 (SMG)

MPC-25 is the best SMG in the game. Its prototype is MSMC, boasting excellent damage and mobility. However, its default magazine capacity is small, requiring frequent reloading before equipping an extended magazine, which impacts output. It also lacks damage against body shots and relies heavily on headshots.

Augments:

• Critical Eye: Increases MPC-25's damage.
• Double Jeopardy: Has a chance to instantly kill low-health zombies.
• Dead Point: Deals extra damage to enemies at close range.
• Dead Heat: Increases movement speed after a point-blank kill.

5. DS20 Mirage (AR)

DS20 Mirage is an excellent all-around assault rifle. It has a high rate of fire, low recoil, and its headshot bonus is said to be higher than other assault rifles. You can equip 17.1" Abdicator Barrel to further increase the headshot multiplier.

It comes with an underbarrel grenade launcher by default. While seemingly ordinary, it's effective at shooting Zursa Bear's hives, allowing you to quickly eliminate them with main fire. However, this prevents the use of other underbarrel attachments, such as the smoke launcher which might be useful for unlocking Easter eggs in co-op mode. Furthermore, it currently has a firing delay bug, which affects handling.

6. Jäger 45 (Pistol)

Jäger 45 is a very unique dual-wielding pistol, which can also be switched back to single-wielding for greater accuracy. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes a slug shotgun, serving as an alternative to Mustang and Sally in this game. With its prestige attachment, the gun's range and headshot multiplier will be significantly increased.

Jäger 45 can be considered a top-tier anti-Zursa Bear weapon. Due to its overwhelming strength in testing, it was nerfed before its official release. Jäger 45 has a small magazine capacity and consumes ammo quickly, but this can be compensated for with Deadshot and Mule Kick.

7. M34 Novaline (Marksman)

M34 Novaline is a marksman rifle. Before being Pack-a-Punched, it fires in short bursts, and after Pack-a-Punched, it becomes fully automatic while retaining the high damage of a marksman rifle.

This gun is effective at both close and long range, capable of unleashing a barrage of bullets at close range and dealing precise damage to elite enemies like Zersa Bear at long range. It is incredibly powerful without requiring specific attachments.

8. Ray Gun Mark II

Ray Gun Mark II is a wonder weapon, extremely effective against Zursa Bear and Boss Veytharion. It is very strong with Double Tap and, unlike the original Ray Gun, does not rely on PhD perk to prevent self-damage, making it more versatile in gameplay.

However, Ray Gun Mark II's splash damage is poor, making it less effective than Ray Gun when clearing mobs from cover.

9. Ray Gun

Ray Gun is a classic wonder weapon, even better than in Black Ops 6, partly due to its double-tap rate of fire from the start and the ease of obtaining PhD perk.

Ray Gun's splash damage is excellent for using cover and is also good against Zursa Bears. Without perk limits, it's more versatile than Mark II.

However, if there's a four-perk limit and you plan to play for a long time, you might need to choose Jug, Quick Revive, and Stamina for survival. Choosing PhD means you can't choose Double Tap and Speed Cola, and Ray Gun desperately needs the latter two to compensate for its slow reload speed, while in this case, Mark II is a better choice.

10. Akita (Shotgun)

In cursed mode, Akita grants 10 points for each bullet that hits a zombie. This makes it very easy to earn points with this gun, easily reaching 200,000 to 300,000 points in low waves.

When paired with Dead Point Augment and Dragon's Breath attachment, Akita also offers decent crowd control and elite-killing capabilities.

Akita is similar to Maelstrom in Black Ops 6, an excellent crowd control weapon, but not suitable for boss fights or long-range combat.

Even after the Season 1 update, these weapons shouldn't be significantly affected. Some might be replaced by newer weapons, but this doesn't mean they'll become useless in Zombie Mode.

Amidst numerous predictions and speculations, CoD Black Ops 7 has finally released the official release date for Season 1, along with an overview of all content.

Season 1 will launch on December 4th, 2025 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on all platforms, including BO7 and Warzone. Please note that the exact time may vary depending on time zones.

Key Multiplayer Updates

At the start of Season 01, you'll be able to experience the new maps Fate, Utopia, and Odysseus, as well as the remastered Standoff, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer.

In the lead-up to CODMAS event, the game will continue to release the festive snow map Sleighjacked map variant. Later in the season, the maps Meltdown and Fringe, as well as Japanese-style Yakei, will be released.

Similar to other content releases, the new gameplay modes in this mode will also be launched at the beginning and middle of the season, including:

• Prop Hunt - Beginning of Season: Disguise yourself as a prop to avoid being detected by other players.

Zombie Mode Updates

This mode will release a new turn-based map, Astra Malorum. In this mysterious observatory, you might encounter the robotic enemy O.S.C.A.R., but also have the chance to win LGM-1 Wonder Weapon - it all depends on your luck and skill.

In addition, the map's turn-based gameplay is paired with a 30-player leaderboard competition; the better your score, the more new Camo and GobbleGum rewards you'll earn.

Besides turn-based gameplay, Zombies mode will also offer the following new gameplay in Season 1:

• Survival Map Exit 115
• Ashes of the Damned
• Cursed Mode in Astra Malorum
• Directed Mode in Astra Malorum
• Holiday Modes: List Keeper's Challenge (Astra Malorum)
• Survival Map Zarya Cosmodrome (Mid-Season)

Warzone Updates

Following its integration with CoD Black Ops 7, various aspects of Warzone will be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the mode will continue to release new maps, Haven's Hollow, and new Verdansk POIs.

New And Returning Items

Notably, Season 1 adds new or returning items as rewards for multiple modes. These offer different combat buffs and are worth the effort.

Multiplayer Modes:

• New Scorestreak: Deadeye Drone
• Returning Black Ops 6 Loadout

Zombie Modes:

• Returning Perk-a-Cola: Mule Kick
• Returning Ammo Mod: Light Mend, Shatter Blast
• Returning Field Upgrades: Tesla Storm, Frost Blast, Mister Peeks

That concludes our introduction. With only a week until the release of Black Ops 7 Season 01, hone your shooting skills and get ready to shine!

Sniper rifles, with their high damage, high rate of fire, and sustained high damage at long range, are a favorite among many players, and most importantly, they look incredibly cool.

However, many players struggle to get kills with sniper rifles because they are somewhat clumsy compared to submachine guns and assault rifles. While they can kill with a single shot, the time it takes to aim and scope in makes it easy for opponents to seize the opportunity and eliminate you. So, let's look at how to make your sniper rifle feel as natural as your arm.

Sniper Rifle Selection

• VS Recon: Currently the only bolt-action sniper rifle in the game, it's the best weapon for rapid aiming, offering both excellent handling and a pleasing appearance.
• Shadow SK: A high-damage sniper rifle, but it doesn't look good.
• XR-3 Ion: A gun similar to P-06 from Black Ops 3, it's not only difficult to use but also looks unattractive.

Season 1, starting December 4th, may add a new bolt-action sniper rifle, but VS Recon remains the best choice for now.

Weapon Loadouts

Weapon Prestige Attachments

Weapon Prestige Attachments are a new system introduced in Black Ops 7, special attachments unlocked after a weapon is upgraded to Prestige.

VS Recon's underbarrel attachment improves rechamber stabilization, aim speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and recoil control. This attachment significantly enhances the weapon's handling and is essential.

Shadow SK's laser designator provides near-100% accuracy without aiming down sights, which is somewhat overpowered and may be nerfed. XR-3 Ion's muzzle attachment greatly improves hip-fire accuracy, but is relatively average.

Core Attachments

Strelok Laser is the most important attachment for sniping, allowing for high-precision hits before fully aiming and firing during rapid aiming. Due to the slow aiming-fire rate of CoD Black Ops 7, this attachment is essential for any sniper rifle. If you need to equip even more attachments, you can use Gunfighter Wild Card, which allows you to equip up to 8 attachments for your sniper rifle.

Recommended Perks

• Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask: Essential for dealing with explosives and Psychedelic Grenades in most situations.
• Tracker: Displays the direction of the nearest enemy on the mini-map after a kill, aiding in consecutive kills.
• Gung Ho: With this perk enabled, after firing, the weapon stays centered on the screen and ready, potentially improving accuracy in subsequent shots.

Perks like Lightweight, Scavenger, Dexterity, or Bankroll can be used in the triple red perks configuration for a speed advantage, while Ninja and Ghost are also viable options.

Weapon Blueprints

Different weapon blueprints affect the feel of the weapon. For example, variants like VS Recon Green Thunder, Helm Piercer, and Ballistic Scyth3 have larger scope models, making them feel bulkier and less suitable for quick aiming than the default weapon.

Aiming Techniques

After you've chosen your weapon, practice is essential. You can practice with bots in CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies to familiarize yourself with the weapon's aiming speed and rate of fire.

The first skill you need to master is center aiming, the core technique for quick aiming in modern Call of Duty. Since sniper rifles don't have aim assist, you should pre-position the enemy in the center of the screen and then aim down sights and fire, and it is more reliable than relying on dragging the aim button.

If you know which locations on the map are likely to have enemies, you can pre-aim at those locations. When facing multiple enemies, prioritize eliminating the target most likely to pose a threat.

Game Settings

Graphics Settings

• Display Mode: Full screen exclusive is recommended for optimal performance.
• NVIDIA Reflex: Low Latency Mode should be enabled.
• V-Sync: Menu V-Sync and Gameplay V-Sync should both be disabled.
• DLSS: Set to Performance mode, with Sharpness around 65.
• Texture Quality: Most detail and texture settings should be set to Low, but Terrain Quality should be set to very high to ensure a good basic visual experience.
• Field of View: 105 FOV is recommended, which is a balance point for sniping and multiplayer games. 120 FOV will make enemies appear too small.
• First-Person Camera Movement: Set to Least, which can significantly reduce screen shake and visual clutter.

Interface Settings

• Color Customization: Select Filter Two for Color Filter, and set World Color Intensity to 100 for more vibrant and prominent colors, making enemies easier to spot.
• Gameplay HUD: Reduce the in-game HUD scale to minimize visual distractions.
• Kill Feed: Turn off Medals and Notifications, and leave kill feed duration at the default setting.
• Radar: Turn off radar and compass for a cleaner interface.
• Crosshair: Set the crosshair to static or turn it off. Only keep the center point of the crosshair and set it to static, with a white or green color (just enough to be noticeable), and 100% opacity. This helps focus on center aiming.

Controller Settings

• Sensitivity: Horizontal Stick Sensitivity 3.0, Vertical Stick Sensitivity 2.60.
• Dead Zone: Left Stick Min and Right Stick Min are key settings, and lower values result in more responsive gameplay.
• Aim Response Curve Type: Dynamic is recommended.
• Movement: Set Wall Jump Assist to Sideways Only for smoother wall bouncing, and set slide and dive behavior to Hybrid for easier control.

Whether it's weapon attachments or game settings, everything should be based on what feels comfortable and natural to you; these are the basics. If you want to improve your skills, the most important thing is repetition and practice, but don't forget that enjoying the game is your ultimate goal.

Call of Duty series is one of the most successful FPAS game franchises, boasting a massive global fanbase, with some players having enjoyed the series for over 20 years.

However, the latest installment, Black Ops 7, has performed poorly in terms of sales. Its physical sales have plummeted by 61% compared to its predecessors, a truly staggering figure. Furthermore, unlike the hype surrounding Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare 3, and Modern Warfare 2, the publisher hasn't promoted the game's release figures as aggressively, further suggesting a significant commercial setback for CoD Black Ops 7.

So what exactly caused this poor sales performance? Besides competitors, the game's quality and the developer's failure to deliver on promises have also played a role.

Market Competition

Battlefield, a competitor of Call of Duty, has been making high-profile announcements, claiming Battlefield 6 will be the number one FPS game and the best-selling shooter of 2025, and thanking players for bringing Battlefield back.

Game industry analysts' data shows that Battlefield 6 is not only the best-selling shooter of 2025, but also the top-selling game across all genres in 2025. Black Ops 7 didn't even make the list.

However, this sales chart is based on data up to November 1st, before Black Ops 7's official release. Therefore, this chart doesn't fully reflect the final performance throughout the year.

Another statistic on this chart is more convincing: Battlefield 6's revenue in its first month of release was the highest of any game in the past three years. The last game to surpass it in first-month revenue was Modern Warfare 2.

Black Ops 7 still has Black Friday and Christmas sales seasons to contend with, but Battlefield 6 has already established a significant lead, and CoD's competitors this year aren't limited to Battlefield. ARC Raiders, released at the end of October, has also attracted a considerable number of players with its exquisite graphics and excellent quality. Overall, its chances of a comeback are slim.

Campaign Mode

Black Ops 7's Campaign mode was widely considered utterly terrible by players, not only one of the worst in Call of Duty series but also among the worst in all shooters.

Even though Campaign mode provided a significant amount of XP for rapid leveling, its extremely low ratings meant almost no players were willing to play it. Players preferred to take time in multiplayer, Zombies, or leveling up in CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies rather than playing Campaign mode.

Furthermore, Endgame mode, originally intended to be unlocked only after completing the campaign, was made free for everyone less than a week after the game's release, further demonstrating the campaign mode's failure.

To salvage the situation, the developers implemented a reward program. Players who played the campaign before November 21st could receive:

• 3 hours of double XP
• Double Weapon XP
• Double Battle Pass XP
• 3 Perkaholic Gobblegums

Nuketown 2025

The classic map Nuketown has returned, a classic map present in almost every Call of Duty game.

However, Black Ops 7 is set in 2035. This raises a logical question: why would players in 2035 be fighting on a map styled after 10 years (2025)? The development team didn't update the map to fit the game's future theme.

This actually confirms an early rumor that Black Ops 7 was originally planned to launch with remastered versions of all Black Ops 2 maps, similar to Modern Warfare 3. However, later plans changed, resulting in the retention of some legacy content, such as Nuketown 2025, that didn't align with the final design.

SBMM Controversy

Before the release of Black Ops 7, the developers announced a new matchmaking system to minimize the impact of SBMM. This new system prioritized network connection quality and quickly matched players of varying skill levels, providing a casual gaming experience.

This new system performed well in the Beta, boasting extremely fast matchmaking, very low and stable ping, and accurate hit detection.

However, after the official release, some players reported significantly longer matchmaking times, ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute, unstable ping, and frequent high latency. Hit detection deteriorated, and packet bursts became more frequent. Most matches felt more challenging, with player skill levels seemingly being intentionally matched.

Furthermore, even if a player performs exceptionally well in a match, they might be kicked from their current Persistent Lobbies and required to re-match, contradicting the initial No Disbanding Lobbies claim.

Therefore, players believe the developers lied about Open Matchmaking feature. They believe the official matchmaking mode isn't Classic Matchmaking advertised, and that a strong SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) is still operating behind the scenes.

This ambiguity stems from the developers' use of the "minimum considerations for SBMM" claim in their advertising, which allows for interpretation. This minimum could be 5% or 49%, it's unclear, and players can't verify it.

Games like Battlefield 6, which truly don't have SBMM, offer a significantly more casual and diverse experience than Black Ops 7. This might be due to a large influx of casual players to Battlefield 6, or perhaps Black Ops 7 still retains protected tiers for new players.

Despite optimizations in multiplayer mode, players' feelings about CoD BO7 are similar to its predecessor. While its technology is top-notch in the industry, if it cannot satisfy players in terms of gameplay, then Call of Duty series may not be able to maintain its appeal to players.

CoD BO7 Endgame is a mode unlocked after completing all 11 campaign missions. Up to 32 players will explore Avalon together, and a successful extraction will earn XP and retain acquired weapons.

This mode also features boss battles. You need to level your operator to at least level 40 to participate in this battle. Winning the battle will unlock a No Fear Operator Skin, in addition to Exotic Weapon Case.

Currently, 12 operators can unlock this skin, meaning you'll have to fight Dr. Faulkner 12 times. Let's take a look at how to defeat Dr. Faulkner step by step.

Endgame Mode Guide

Operator System

Endgame Operator System features a Zombies mode similar to Modern Warfare 3 and a DMZ mode similar to Warzone.

Currently, there are only 4 Operator Slots, each representing a unique Operator with independent levels and abilities, and more slots may be added in the future.

Weapons And Extraction

After selecting an Operator, you can choose your weapons. Weapon slots include Primary Weapon, Melee Weapon, Field Equipment, and Field Acquisition.

You can change your starting loadout, but doing so will lower the weapon's rarity if you upgraded it during your previous Endgame run.

The highest weapon rarity is Exotic. Exotic weapons can only be obtained randomly by completing contracts in Tier 4 Zones, or randomly from an Exotic Weapon Case after defeating the boss Dr. Faulkner.

You can extract with one field Acquisition, which you can carry into any subsequent match, regardless of your Operator selection.

Skills And Combat Rating

Your abilities, skills, and Combat Rating are tied to your selected Operator. Each Operator's Combat Rating is calculated and upgraded independently.

Operator Skins

Dr. Faulkner is a character who appeared in the campaign mode and has become a Disciple in Endgame. To unlock operator skins, you need to defeat Dr. Faulkner with the corresponding operator and complete the extraction. This will unlock his or her free skin.

• No Fear Operator Skins:
• Mason
• Samuels
• Anderson
• Wei Lin
• Vermaak
• Zaveri
• Jurado
• Grimm
• Falkner
• Razor
• Kagan 50/50

Other operator skins require you to own Black Ops 7 Vault Edition, Black Ops 6, or reach a certain level to unlock. If you want to level up quickly (not referring to Endgame mode), the best way is to first complete all the co-op campaigns, then combine this with double XP tokens in CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies. This will allow you to reach level 55 and unlock most operator skins.

How To Defeat Dr. Faulkner?

Preparation

Dr. Faulkner is located on a separate island in the bottom left corner of Avalon, on Protocol Point of Interest.

It's recommended that your Combat Rating be above 45, which will grant a damage and health bonus. If you have teammates assisting (whose Combat Rating should also be at least 45), you can try challenging him around level 40.

Dr. Faulkner summons many zombies, making the battle very intense. Therefore, it's strongly recommended that you have a 4-plate armor vest. Choose your most familiar weapon, but upgrade it to Legendary rarity at least in Tier 4 Zone, and Exotic weapons are even better.

Weapons like War Machine, Hand Cannon, and orange-rarity grenade launchers are very effective against Dr. Faulkner, while AAROW 109 Launcher is especially strong.

Phase 1

You first need to clear the toxic growth or spores throughout the island. These spores are usually distributed in groups of 4-6 inside and outside buildings. It's recommended that you and your teammates divide the work: one teammate is responsible for controlling the area and drawing the zombies' attention, so you can carry some Decoy Grenades. The other teammate can use the grenade launcher to quickly destroy the spores and get the progress bar to 100% as soon as possible.

Phase 2

After you've destroyed all the spores, Dr. Faulkner and elite enemies will appear. You can use the terrain for cover and firing, such as rocks on the coast or rooftops, but remember to watch out for enemies coming from behind.

Make good use of the grappling hook and gliding for movement. Replenish your armor plates at ammo caches in a timely manner.

You can also use active abilities to find a good angle to shoot at Dr. Faulkner, allowing you to deal very effective damage for a period of time. Utilize Drone Pod to damage the boss and surrounding enemies.

Here's also a little trick for stealing victory. Since Endgame is a endless server, other squads' countdowns may have already started when you join.

You can check if other squads are challenging the boss at the start of the game and then join them to form a Platoon, just like in DMZ and MWZ. A team of 6 to 8 people makes the battle much easier.

The End Of The Battle

After defeating Dr. Faulkner, you need to confirm the kill to trigger the cutscene and complete the extraction to obtain the operator skin.

Endgame mode is a very promising mode. Judging from the final cutscene, there should be new bosses and even new maps to come, which is something to look forward to.
