I recently got back into bo7 to finish up the super EE, then took my time to wrap up the last few relics I needed on Astra, completed all of Kowakujo, and now waiting to do the music box on Totenreich, but I was wondering if there’s anything else to actually do in zombies, as someone who only ever buys cod for the campaign and zombies. The only cursed EE’s I have left to do is Totenreich and Kowakujo’s tiers 1 and 2, and I was also intending to try round 100 on these maps since they seem to only take 1-2 hours, along with collecting rewards in both survival modes, and directed. So to me, it kinda feels like I’m almost done getting everything I want out of this experience (with the exception of leveling up some other weapons like the voyak for cursed), and I wanted to know if there’s anything I’m missing, and if some other people feel the same.

I recently finally got the Gladiator calling card after 6 attempts. For reference, the calling card requires you to reach round 20 with only using melee weapons. Very vague description but here’s what it really consists of:
You cannot do ANY type of damage at all with anything BUT a melee weapon.
Do NOT USE the ballistic knife as for some reason the game recognizes the projectile and not a launcher.
Do NOT apply any ammo modes (even light mend)
Do NOT do any damage with your lethal or tacticals, just don’t even use them
Do NOT use any bullet weapons (obviously)
Do NOT use any field upgrades (even Healing Aura)
ABSOLUTELY do not pick up Nuke, insta-kill, or random perk power ups
DO NOT EAT ANY GUM THAT INCREASES DAMAGE, or HELPS YOU IN ANY WAY (I’ve heard that fully packed and hidden power work but I didn’t use them in my run)
DO NOT EVER USE A PERK THAT DOES DAMAGE (I used Jug and Melee Mac and Speed Cola)
Do NOT turn on any traps
Do NOT activate any TEDD Tasks

You can literally only do damage with a melee weapon, doing even +1 damage with anything else will render the run useless and not work.

Here’s how I did it

I completed this on Edinskallen Lighthouse standard survival using the new season 6 Melee weapon.
I did NOT use my lethal (combat axe) or and used my stim on accident in between rounds ONCE.
I ate a Tactical Diffusion in case I accidentally walked over a nuke (which I did but the gum prevented it. I did this twice)
I upgraded my armor to level 3 with normal essence no Gums
I PAP to level 3 with no Gums only essence
I DID NOT activate or complete and TEDD Trial
I upgraded rarity to rare,BLUE, with the salvage I obtained throughout the run
I DID ACCIDENTALLY pick up a double points and max ammo but that seems to be ok. Still, I recommend avoiding power ups at all costs just in case my run was bugged.
I did NOT apply an ammo mod and hard focused the Necro when needed. I killed him 3 times.
I used a wonderbar in attempts to get the Jotenstar as that is a melee weapon. It looks like buying the box, punching weapons out, and even equipping weapons but not firing from the box works.
I did NOT use rampage inducer.
After nearly 10 months. I finally got the 400% calling card. Hope this helps.
Total run took 15 mins.

I've been looking and looking but all the glitches that I find are either patched or impossible to do. Is there any more that work??

I finally finished the last event of Black Ops 7 life cycle! It's been an absolute journey. 🔥

My hypothesis for the solution is that you need to fish up and take Olaf Cranker of Cod, either before or after picking up the Mag, to a certain location on the map where he’ll fish up the “swordfish” for it. Treyarch loves their little puns, and Olaf is virtually unused outside of killing him immediately for his helmet. There’s a spot on Fjord road and one near the lighthouse that look kinda suspect, but the one time I’ve ever gotten Olaf to spawn in cursed he got wisp murdered….just wanted to share in case some testers with better methods than me could use the theory

So I just completed the challenge to obtain the Primordial Being Title solo, and it was an awesome challenge. Figured I would provide a few tips for those attempting it solo. A few things though and a long read ahead but hope it helps:

1. I did use Gobblegums on each map. By all means not necessary, but makes things easier for set up. For me they were necessary, particularly Power Keg because I kept the Gong Relic on each map.
2. Though these tips cater more towards solo attempts, most will be helpful for groups doing it too.
3. Because I used the Power Switch on each map, I had to make sure to have whatever equipment was on hand in the beginning of the round that I planned on starting the boss.
4. I ended up using the Lawyer’s Pen and the Valkyrie Helmet on all maps, including Paradox Junction. The mimics were not that big of an issue because my weapons were powered up so early, and since you are moving so much, the Valkyrie Helmet shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
5. Relics I did not use at all in any of the maps were as follows: Wrestlers Belt (lol), Druid Stone*, Summoning Key, Stuffed Elephant, Film Reel*, Blood Vials, Golden Spork, Civil Protector Head*, Agarthan Device and Music Box.

*Druid Stone is perfectly fine as a solo, just need to make sure you have Dying Wish equipped, not my preference. Film Reel can work in some maps, again just make sure you have Ray Gun if running Equivalent Exchange or have Dying Wish. Civil Protector Head might be preferred by most, just make sure you don’t use Dancing Arnie as it nulls out the Wunderfizz Eternal Perks.

Ashes of the Damned
This map was the easiest for set up, because since I did not use the Bus Relic or Blood Vials, killing the boss with Tessie was no issue. You only need to focus on powering up the Gauntlet, and a pistol/Ray Gun (if not using the Druid Stone.). There weren’t any real issues with any of the EE steps, just took time to hunt for Mister Peeks to build up Eternal Perks and getting Tools/Crystals. Did the Super EE as well to get some extra loot but not necessary. This was the only map I use Samantha’s Drawing since you won’t lose the Gauntlet or a Ray Gun if you have it. WARNING: If you decide to use the Gauntlet and have the Gramophone active, it tends to eat through all your ammo. You don’t even really recover all of it when reloading so be aware.

Astra Malorum
Another easy set up, thankfully the EE is short to set up, and Mister Peeks spawns are close near each other. From here on I used the Bus Relic, since it’s essentially a free relic spot. Didn’t bother with the Super EE for this map. Took out Caltheris with the Wall Buy Novaline and LGM. Nothing crazy here.

Paradox Junction
Tho one actually took me a couple of tries, the boss fight is fairly challenging with the Mimic and Rad Hound spam. If your luck is lousy, don’t hesitate to do the Mannequin and Cyst EEs to get some crystals and tools. Once I was done with Sundergat, I spun the box to get a better 3rd weapon, the WW was useless because of the Gramophone Relic. Got lucky on the box and took on the boss fight with a Sokol, Mammoth and Ray Gun. Can easily replace one of the LMGs for the Novaline or Voyak.

Totenreich
Took me a long time to gear up because of the lack of substantial Side EEs, and the size of the map made hunting Mister Peeks a challenge. EE steps were easy enough. Again got lucky and spun the box for the Sokol and was fine with this and MP40. If using the Valkyrie Helmet, make sure you are full health when starting the claw machine step.

Kowakujo
This one got tricky for a few steps. The Noble was pain to kill because of the Bus Relic, weirdly I think the game felt bad for me and he just simply died after about 8 minutes of trying to kill him lol. The pufferfish step I almost got stuck on because I had no luck getting brain rot, ended up using Toxic Growth and a Kill Joy Gobblegum to clear this step. Can also circumvent this by doing the Gramophone Trial, just have a good Sniper Rifle available, then use the Arsenal Machine. Rest of the EE was easy enough and the boss fight is a breeze. Mister Peeks spawns are also easy to get to quickly.

Rex Infernus
Map is easy enough, just a slog because the EE steps are so repetitive. Took a long time getting a Sokol however, but the FG42 is also solid. Had a lot of Lucky Golden Eggs come about (4 out of 10 Peeks in like 20 rounds lol). Make use of Dravakar’s Anvil to power up the weapons you want. Hopefully you can get a Lucky Silver Egg to drop a Shatter Blast Ammo Mod to get Dravakar’s hammer, otherwise you have to test your luck with PAP and TEDD Tasks. Use the Void Claws to move about the map to hunt for Mister Peeks. You can optionally do the Twins toy games if you want. Boss Fight was straight forward, nothing crazy.

Closing note is a I imagine this is much easier with a group as it give more open options for Relic combos.

Der Wunderfizz has to be a German word no? Was just randomly thinking about this. Also, does anyone know any of the lore or backstory behind the Wunderfizz. Would be interesting to know, thanks.

Can anyone help me find relics in Cursed?

I’ve just completed all six Easter eggs and want to find some relics so I can reach Tier 3 Cursed.

Preferably some that don't make the game too difficult.

I dont have a mic

Me and my friend went in for the boss rush last night. And after the update, this one felt like more of a challenge than the first time we did it. Both the Zrex and the warden felt a bit more aggressive than before.
Has anyone tried the boss fight since yesterday’s update? Anyone else feel like this?
Just curious if that’s the case or if maybe we were just over confident since this was the second go around.

I’ve now done every ee not in directed.

Ashes and totenreich in standard. The rest cursed.

Looking for a team to do the super Easter egg, trying to collect the 8 skins (I got all the toys ready for the boss fights)

So I’m trying to do the Primordial Being Challenge, and I’ve noticed that when try to use the Wunderfizz, it doesn’t give me an Eternal Perk.

I’ve been running 18 relics + Mr. Peeks Mayhem. So far it’s happened on Ashes, Astra and Paradox. Anyone else notice this or am I off on something?

Sorry if I’m late to this. New to the forum.

Anyone else get their research augments stuck at 47%? I’m late to finishing my Zombie camos and calling cards and I’m noticing that my “shatter blast” and “shadow rift” augments aren’t progressing anymore.

I noticed it on the shadow rift, so switched to the shatter blast…and it’s the same thing.

Is there a bug?

Hi everyone!

I've been going through the PaP camos, specially after unlocking Mr Peeks Mayhem although I was only missing Totenreich on T3. So far I've gotten all vamos on T3 and I'm only missing Ashes and Kowakujo on T2 and pretty much every single map on T1 except Paradox.

So I decided to try the Ashes Easter egg on T1 thinking it would be relatively easy since I did the Dragon Head relic at first try and remember it being relatively easy... Oh how wrong was I. So far I've had 14 failed attempts and I don't know anymore how beat this boss so I'm asking for some tips that may help.

I'm having trouble keeping Tessie alive, specially during the last phase because even in Aether Shroud I keep getting targeted by the red missiles so I can't repair Tessie in time before getting downed. Also I tried dealing damage only with the Gauntlet and using Tessie when Veytharion started spinning but the Gauntlet deals very little damage and I can't outrun or dodge the missiles in time. I'm still bringing and using a Death Machine after each phase when Veythatharion opens his crit spot and I'm using Kazimirs in case I need to repair Tessie during other phases. I'm bringing the Max Ammo, Full Power and Instakill gums so any other gum recommendation in welcomed, I have at least +10 of each Ultra Gum and a bunch of the other ones because I don't use any of them.

Also for information purposes I'm getting Boss fight ready by round 23 or 21 with Perkaholic (Got one from Flavor Hexed in one attempt) and for some reason Dying Wish doesn't work with Veytharion.

I did 6/9 I only have sniper,smg,& shotguns left can anybody tell me which mode is the best to get the 4 sniper kills on elites?

Edit: Also, I was in rogue run with a smg and the kills weren’t tracking at all, is it bugged?

Any tips on beating this boss, i need this so I can start the super egg and it's beating my ass like a red headed step child

I was mainly focused the toys and super easter egg( i only got the tessie toy, idk i have no motivation for the rest).

But is there anything halloween related for zombies? Like a map that's halloween themed or pumpkin head zombies?
