Black Ops 7 Zombies - Cursed Mod Remnant Tier List

How does Rogue Run work in Black Ops 7 Zombies?

Rouge Run is a roguelite round-based Zombies. This means that you'll spawn with a random gray-rarity pistol in round 1, and you'll have to kill all the zombies to advance to the prize room, where you have a choice between three random items. After choosing your reward, you'll spawn in the next round in a new area of ​​Ashes of the Damned. You can choose your GobbleGum pack, but that's about it. You'll randomly earn your loadout from your end-of-round rewards, including weapons, perks, area upgrades, ammo mods, and more. This mode is heavy on RNG, so you can be extremely unlucky and have a green-rarity SMG with Death Perception at round 15, while your friend can have a purple-rarity assault rifle with all the meta features. Every 5 rounds, an Elite Zombie (Amalgam or Jursa) will spawn, forcing you to kill it as part of the round. In Round 20, you'll enter the boss arena, where you'll be tasked with killing Lucy, Mal, or Moe, an HVT depending on the mode you choose.

Below, you'll find the rewards you can get for each Rogue Run path, and even further down, you'll find Rogue Run tips to help us complete each challenge.

Target: Lucy (tips and rewards)

Lucy is a Doppelghast HVT you'll fight in round 20, so bring the Light Mend ammo mod for extra damage.

reward This is what it does How to get
Who's keeping score? GobbleGum, which generates a double point power-up. Complete Round 5
Wonder weapon You can now get the Ray Gun, Ray Gun Mk2, and Necrofluid Gauntlet rewards in Rogue Run. Complete round 15
Aether device You can now get Aether equipment to upgrade weapons as a reward in Rogue Run. Defeat Lucy

Lucy is a very fast Doppelghast, so you'll want to try and hope you get a Stamin-Up so you can keep up the momentum to get it going. Lucy will also randomly summon explosive Doppelghasts, who die in one hit but can explode and slow you down. Keep the distance and aim to win the head!

Target: Mall (Suggestions and Rewards)

Mo is an Amalgam HVT you'll fight in round 20, so bring Dead Wire or Shadow Rift Ammo mods to weaken it.

reward This is what it does How to get
Arsenal Accelerator GobbleGum, which makes field upgrades faster. Complete Round 5
Permanent 4 You can now select one of four prizes at the end of each round instead of one of three. Complete round 15
hidden power GobbleGum that upgrades your currently equipped weapon to legendary (orange) rarity. Beat Mal

The Mal HVT is the one you'll want to be prepared for the most, as it will drain nearby zombies and resist standard damage, and the only way to really break the chain is by using elemental damage from Ammo Mods. Amalgams are stressful, so keep your distance and kill zombies so they can't eat them for health.

Target: Mo (tips and rewards)

Mo is a nasty HVT you'll fight in round 20, so you'll want Napalm Burst or Brain Rot Ammo mods..

reward This is what it does How to get
Profit sharing GobbleGum, where Essence earnings are shared among all players. Complete Round 5
Pack-a-punch crystals You can now get Pack-a-Punch crystals as rewards in Rogue Run. Complete round 15
increases You can now get Augments for Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades in Rogue Run. The defeat of Mo

Mo has a very interesting special effect in the boss arena in which he can remove your features and your weapons, forcing you to scavenge new ones from the floor. Try to keep your distance from him and shoot him in three open heads.

Target: All targets (tips and rewards)

You will fight Lucy, Mal, and Moe, one at a time, in Round 20, Round 30, and Round 40.

reward This is what it does How to get
Modified Anarchy GobbleGum, which reduces all Ammo Mod cooldowns. Defeat 1 HVT in a single race.
Percaholic GobbleGum, which gives you all the benefits instantly. Defeat 2 HVTs in one run.
Ray to play Calling card. Defeat Lucy, Mal and Mo in one run.

Targets: All targets will be the longest you'll spend on a rogue run, as an average round 20 run can take 40+ minutes, so all three targets (and the elite enemies that span 5 rounds each) can take you well into a 90+ minute game, so be flexible and get going!

Goal: Endurance (tips and rewards)

You need to survive until round 30, and even though there are no HVTs, there are still elite enemies every 5 rounds.

reward This is what it does How to get
An unusual starting pistol You will start each game of Rogue Run with a random (green) pistol (the pistol itself is random). Complete round 10.
Armor upgrades You can now get Tier 2 and Tier 3 armor from round-end rewards in Rogue Run. Complete round 20.
A rare starting pistol You will start each game of Rogue Run with a rare (blue) pistol (the pistol itself is random). Complete round 30.

Goal: Endurance is really about endurance, as you have to make it through 30 rounds. This will take some time, as each round is much longer than usual with the abundance of zombies, but it's a great place to start before aiming: all targets, you can get the Blue 1911 for Mustang and Sally.
