Black Ops 7 has a zombie camo that most players will never get

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Its campaign and general desire to see it may have broken online Battlefield 6 Win the tournament this time around, but fans of its core multiplayer and Zombies mode still have plenty to appreciate. On the multiplayer front, Black Ops 7 Addressing many of the criticisms of recent entries, SBMM launched with a wide variety of quality maps while toning down and bringing back constant lobbies. On the Zombies front, Ashes of the Damned is full of easter eggs and brings back small-scale survival maps for those looking for something simple, while also making a range of quality-of-life improvements. Cursed mode is also a highlight, and it is through this alternate form of the game Black Ops 7The already-huge camo grind gets even deeper.

While Black Ops 7While the Weapon Prestige feature features some lengthy camo unlock processes, such as Weaponized 115 requiring players to level the Echo 12 Shotgun hundreds of times, there's a trio of Zombies-exclusive Pack-a-Punch camos that take a different approach. As opposed to dozens of hours leveling up a specific weapon, these unlocks require players to complete Ashes of the Damned's main quest multiple times, with some brutal modifiers tacked on top. At the time of writing, per CoD According to Zombies expert MrRoflWaffles, less than 1% of players have first access to these exclusive camos. And after some remains BO7 Zombies are undiscovered, the final version is available to literally no one until now.

Black Ops 7's Ash Pack-A-Punch Camos will push Zombies players to their limits.

As of now, the first of these three pack-a-punch camos – called Caustic Ash – is the one players are sure of how to get. To unlock this special Zombies camo players need to do the following:

Unlock access to Relics of the Damned mode by completing the Ashes of the Dammed main quest.
Unlock and equip three different Relics to access Curse Tier 1. This will give players access to Golden Armor to make things easier, but relic debuffs – such as the four-perk limit – balance the difficulty.
Complete the main quest again with the three relics equipped.

Currently, only six of the nine Cursed Relics have been found, namely the Dragon Wing, Lawyer's Pen, Teddy Bear, Vril Sphere, Focusing Stone, and Blood Vial.

Considering how low the completion rate is for the main quests, and many players complete a quest once and then never touch it again, it's no surprise that few players earned this camo and fewer will get its other variants. While this is purely speculation at the moment, it can be assumed that the red and green variants – Molten Ash and Putrid Ash respectively – are unlocked in Tier 2 and Tier 3 of the Cursed. This means that players need to beat the main quest with six relics equipped, and then again with all nine relics equipped, which will undoubtedly be extremely difficult. On the bright side, Treyarch has announced that the final boss of the Ashes of the Dammed main quest will be nerfed in the near future, which should make things a bit more manageable.

Still, there's no denying that these will be the hardest camos to get in the game, as unlocking relics will also require some extra effort from players. Each Relic unlock requires players to complete a unique side easter egg in Ashes of the Dammed that appears after round 20, and then they must undergo a difficult test, such as random drops that kill or fight several rounds of shock mimics. Given how players have to go out of their way to get relics in the first place, and then how Easter eggs must be replayed with modifiers like starting 75% faster and removing ammo crates from the map, it's safe to assume that these three optional pack-a-punch camos will be earned at a fraction of the cost. CoD player base.

Black Ops 7's optional pack-a-punch camos are probably just the beginning

It's worth noting that the three gorgeous Ash weapon camos are never-before-seen designs. Instead, they come straight from the classics BO3 Corpse map Gorod Krovi. It can be assumed, then, that in addition to a new PaP design with each map, players will be able to unlock three versions of the returning camo design with each new map. While unconfirmed, this would make sense, and would be a great way to reward players for completing future main quests in Cursed Mode. There are plenty of memorable pack-a-punch designs that could return, as it's easy to picture three variants of Mob of the Dead's fiery camo or Origins' blue 115 camo going over well with passionate fans. Ultimately, the difficulty of these optional PaP camos is what makes them so special, and it's exciting to have something new to grind for beyond mastery camos and calling cards.
