Seven new weapons: From Bullpups to Throwing Blades
There will be seven new weapons added in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Season 1, with three of them beign standout.
The Maddox is back from Black Ops 4âa bullpup AR with a high fire rate and quick handling for mid-range sprays. Feeling medieval? The Crossbow fires one-shot bolts (reload after each, no spam) for sneaky pickups. And the ballistic knife? Lethal slot fillerâthrow it for instant kills, then retrieve like a pro.
For others, there are only rumors around some SMG tweaks and LMG. I wonât be surprised if we might see some meta shaker in the mix as well.
Seasonal surge for Zombies in Black Ops 7 Season 1
Many fans and gamers love the zombies mode in Call of Duty. Treyarch knows this very well and thatâs why we are also getting âAshes of the Damnedâ co-op campaign.
But thatâs not all, as there are three mapsâtwo endless Survival slices carved from the campaign, plus a full round-based epic:
- Astra Malorum: Brand-new round-based brawlâexpect Easter eggs tying into Raul Menendezâs lore.
- Exit 115: Survival mode on a foggy highway stretchâhorde waves meet barricade builds.
- Zarya Cosmodrome: Cold War cosmodrome redux.
After reading and viewing all of this, you can easily guess that Treyarch has prepared a lot and wants to give the fans, the best post launch update for Black Ops 7.
