The Zombie Mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 can raise some questions when you play it for the first time. We show you tips for beginners.
These tips are mainly aimed at beginners and inexperienced players. Experienced players will already know most of the tips on our list – especially if you have already played the zombie mode of Black Ops 6 and followed MeinMMO.
But let’s get to the first tips:
Tip 1: Explore Augmentations
In Black Ops 7, there are again the so-called augmentations that you can and should use to improve your equipment just like in its predecessor. However, you need to explore the different augmentations. Before starting a round in zombie mode, you should therefore ensure that you are actively researching an augmentation. You must collect XP to explore, which means a lot of grinding, and you want to save time.
Tip 2: Find the right spot and stay there
Find a spot/path where you can kite even large hordes of zombies easily, and stay there. Move along the edge of your kite area to be able to run further along the other edge at the end of the path. This way, you can take one round after another.
Tip 3: Always kite solo
If you are playing with friends, each should have their own kite spot (see Tip 2). You want to split the horde among all present players. If 2 players fight in the same spot, it just creates chaos, and you suddenly face too many enemies and can get surrounded in the worst case.
Tip 4: Leave the last zombie alive and take a breather
If you need a few seconds of peace or need time to buy or upgrade your equipment, you can intentionally leave the last zombie of a wave alive. This one will follow you.
The next wave will only start when you take down the last zombie. If you wait with that, you can either take a breather or give your friends in co-op a chance to visit the restroom.
Tip 5: Grab a weapon with a silencer
Before you start a round, you can customize your equipment and modify your starting weapon – and this is also recommended. Make sure to equip a silencer on your weapon, as shot zombies will drop more scrap.
Tip 6: Improve your weapons
You can improve your weapon rarity at the Arsenal Machine with scrap, especially if you do not want to buy from the wall or do not have the necessary essence to buy. A high rarity will be important during the round to deal more damage.
Tip 7: Don’t underestimate your car
Your car, which you control through zombie hordes on the map “Ashes of the Damned”, is not just a means of transport. When you follow the quest of the map, you turn it into a “Pack-a-Punch” machine. You can then punch your weapon at the back of the car, giving it a larger magazine and causing more damage. Plus, it looks cooler then. (Caution, the ammunition for the weapon becomes more expensive after punching.)
Tip 8: Repair the car
Walking between the different areas of Ashes of the Damned is noticeably more difficult than driving the route with the car. However, your car cannot withstand an infinite number of zombie attacks – so repair it.
As you race through the landscape, you will see red and green bulges on the ground. The red ones hurt, you should avoid them. But if you drive through one of the green bulges with your car, it repairs your vehicle.
Tip 9: Drink cola regularly
Keep an eye out for the Perk-a-Cola machines. These soda machines give you powerful advantages like more life or faster reloading. With the right perks, surviving becomes significantly easier, so you should acquire the perks in a timely manner.
Especially important are:
- Juggernog (increases maximum health)
- Quick Revive (faster health regeneration + faster revive)
Also recommended:
- Speed Cola (faster reload)
- Stamin-Up (run faster)
- Deadshot Daiquiri (increased critical damage)
Tip 10: Use the jump pads wisely
Instead of driving with the car, you can also pay 500 essence and use a jump pad. This will shoot you across the map to another area. This can be useful, but should be used wisely.
If you catapult yourself to the other side of the map, you will likely be far from the car and cannot “punch” your weapon. Playing with random teammates can make it complicated to return to the car. So try to avoid being too far away from your teammates and the moving Pack-a-Punch machine.
Bonus tip: Optimize your graphics settings to have as many FPS as possible. Although the zombie mode of Black Ops 7 is not competitive, we gamers all know that more FPS also means more skill. Or does it? How to get as many FPS as possible, we show you on MeinMMO: CoD Black Ops 7: Graphic Settings – This is how you get the most FPS with the best possible optics
