Zenith - 6v6 / 2v2

In a last-ditch effort to reverse JSOC’s gains, The Guild assaults Karma’s sanctuary hidden deep in the jungle. The extravagant compound features everything the expert hacker needs, from state-of-the-art tech and security systems to high end art and breathtaking architecture. In the aftermath of the attack, an armored vehicle lies burning and overturned at the Entrance, a trail of blood leading into the main Office.

Fight within the building or enjoy the view along the main flanking paths on either side, whether you’re traversing the edge of the cliff or taking the upper ground. For greater concealment, try your luck in the running water beneath the compound… but get out when the alarm starts blaring and the red lights flash, a sure sign that you’re about to get swept off the brink.

Launch - 6v6 (Mid-Season)

Deploy to a Russian rocket launch facility in Launch, returning from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. At the start of the match, witness the massive rocket being lifted and moved into position over the Launch Pad, preparing for takeoff near the halfway point of the match.

In addition to the Loading zone and Launch Pad, the sprawling facility includes an expansive Fuel Yard, Storage, and the main Road connecting various supporting structures and interior spaces. The complex layout of industrial features provides plentiful cover points and flanking paths and prime sniping spots up the Launch Pad staircases. No matter what your playstyle, there’s a place for it here. Gear up, drop in, and prepare for takeoff.

Liminal - 6v6 / 2v2

Descend into a live Guild procedure mid-test, where the patient’s response to the experiment actively rewrites the center of the map. When the subject is calm, a red pillar stands intact on a raised platform; when agitation spikes, it fractures and slams into a crater, throwing up fresh cover and new angles around the impact zone.

When the subject accepts the procedure, the space shifts into a “nature” state, with organic growth reclaiming the central structure and subtly reshaping lanes and sightlines. Corridors feed the core from both sides, cutting past elevators on one flank and offices on the other, keeping rotations tight and fights constant as the room changes under pressure.

Primetime - 6v6

Let no obstacle stand in your way on Primetime, a new 6v6 Multiplayer map themed around a Japanese game show obstacle course. Battle over speed tracks, Wall Jump across bound pads, and rack up points on the board as Operators weave between supersized crates.

Make a splash across the Pool track running over the water, a catapult on either end providing quick access to the middle. To get out of the limelight, head to the close-quarters Backstage or head further out along the southern Cargo path running parallel to the course.

Vertigo - 6v6

First introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Vertigo returns fully remastered and ready for action in Black Ops 7. The map features a new Japanese setting, though the layout will be familiar to veterans of the original.

Watch your balance as the wind whips by atop the massive skyscraper, newly refurbished as Guild property. A steep drop-off awaits careless Operators fighting along the outer perimeter amongst the Vents, Utility and Storage sheds, and alongside the Helipad. For sturdier ground, head to the inner walkway connected to the East and West Wing, which funnel players into a tight space with guardrails to keep you from plummeting to your demise.

Team Blueprint Sharpshooter

Weapons cycle every 45 seconds. Eliminate enemies to earn score. Earn bonus abilities and 2x score for elimination streaks.

Adapt and slay in this 6v6 playlist featuring cycling Loadouts with Weapon Blueprints like the Heart-Stopper NX Ravager, Search Party MPC-25 SMG, the dual-wield Deadend Coda 9 Pistols, and other incredible Blueprints across the Primary, Secondary, and Melee Weapon slots.

Push the attack and earn power-ups for kill streaks, speeding up your combat movements and unlocking a double score multiplier at a five-streak. The exact Operator bonuses are as follows: 

• 1 - Streak: Faster movement speed.
• 2 - Streak: Faster reload speed.
• 3 - Streak: Faster sprint recovery.
• 4 - Streak: Faster aim down sights speed.
• 5 - Streak: Double score.

Use every tool at your disposal and don’t forget that Equipment renews with every weapon swap as well. Toss your throwables, open fire, and be the first team to reach the score limit to win the match.

Knife Fight

Eliminate all enemy players using pre-determined classes to win the round. No respawns.

Engage in 2v2 hand-to-hand combat in this close-quarters variant of Gunfight. From the H311-SAW to the Flatline MK.II and, naturally, the Knife and Ballistic Knife, Knife Fight challenges Operators to engage in an epic melee brawl.

There are no Scorestreaks or Field Upgrades here, and ranged weapons are restricted except for the Equipment items granted to players a few seconds into the round and the Ballistic Knife when it’s chosen as the round’s main weapon. The first duo to win six rounds wins the match. Drop in and start slashing.

As an added bonus, players who acquire 10 Double Kills in Knife Fight will unlock the “Combatant” Weapon Charm.

Black Ops Classic

Wind back the clock in Black Ops Classic, a new throwback mode inspired by classic Black Ops gameplay. With simplified movement and streamlined Loadouts, this mode focuses on tactical positioning and classic multiplayer fundamentals built on the modern foundation of Black Ops 7. Jump into iconic throwback maps and core modes including Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint and Kill Confirmed.

Restrictions: No Overclock Abilities. No Perk Combat Specialty bonus.

Limited Selection: Scorestreaks, Perks, Lethal, Tactical, Wildcards, Melee Weapon, Field Upgrades.

Blueprint Gun Game

Every plan needs a good outline. Blueprint Gun Game returns for its Black Ops 7 debut, challenging players to advance through a lineup of Weapon Blueprints. There are no Scorestreaks or Loadouts involved here, just plain old gun skill. Eliminate players with your weapons to advance to the next weapon. 

The first player to earn an elimination with every weapon wins. Eliminate enemies with a melee attack to set them back one weapon in the rotation, and use the intel provided by the persistent UAV to track down your next target.

6v6 Gunfight

Get ready to up the ante as Gunfight returns with a 6v6 spin. Players begin each round with the same pre-determined Loadout that changes every two rounds. Health regeneration and respawns are disabled, so make your shots count. If neither team is wiped out in the specified time, the Overtime Flag will spawn; capture it to secure the round win.

Season 04 Ranked Play Overview

Multiplayer Ranked Play gives players the ultimate competitive Call of Duty experience by offering the same settings, maps, modes, and weapon restrictions used by the Call of Duty® League™. 

Earn career rewards throughout the lifespan of Black Ops 7 Ranked Play, including Rank Skins and Win Challenge rewards.

Ranking System Update

Black Ops 7 Ranked Play is getting clearer in Season 04. The SR (Skill Rating) System has been completely overhauled to remove hidden MMR and instead provide full transparency over every single point of earned or lost SR. In Season 04, your SR gains and losses are driven entirely by your visible Rank and your performance relative to the Rank and performance of other players in the match. Outperform players in your Rank or above you and you’ll continue to climb, but struggle to beat players at your Rank or below you and big SR gains will be harder to come by.

SR gains and losses are broken down in detail in the updated Ranked Play Post-Match Summary after each match, so you know exactly what moved the needle. Here are the major changes coming with this SR System overhaul in Season 04:

Melee Weapon: Executioner’s Duet

Melee, Event Reward

• Levels: 30
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: None
• Customize Options: Blueprints

Melee weapon. High damage, short range, and very fast attack speed.

Hack and slash foes with the dual wield Executioner’s Duet. With an axe in each hand, be capable of unleashing a variety of slashing attacks designed to chop foes down to size. While the deadly weapon exhibits the shortest attack range of the current Melee Weapons on offer, it makes up for it with the highest mobility rating. Close the distance and start swinging.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Executioner’s Duet

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Executioner’s Duet (above): Prestige 1: “Labyrinth.” Prestige 2: “Pop.” Prestige Max: “Radiance.”

Primary Weapon: AN-94

Assault Rifle, Event Reward

• Levels: 42
• MAGS: 3
• MAG SIZE: 30
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Fully automatic assault rifle. First two rounds fire at a faster rate. Slower handling and mobility.

The AN-94 makes its triumphant return. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the Assault Rifle features a unique burst mechanism where the first two shots fire at a faster rate before settling into a more moderate fire rate.

Connecting the first two shots is vital to quickly downing foes, and with burst fire you can benefit from the rapid double tap in fast succession. Luckily, the weapon’s clean iron sights make it easy to acquire targets even without an Optic equipped. Whether downing enemy players, Guild and Fear targets in Endgame, or the undead horde, the AN-94 is a reliable armament capable of performing in a wide variety of combat scenarios.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 15” MFS Triumvirate Barrel

Modified barrel that increases hyperburst shot count to three and increases damage to the upper body. Adds a short delay after between hyperburst and full-auto fire and increases recoil.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > AN-94

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the AN-94 (above): Prestige 1: “Splat.” Prestige 2: “Prism.” Prestige Max: “Abducted.”

Primary Weapon: KRS-7.62

• Levels: 38
• MAGS: 3
• MAG SIZE: 10
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Semi-auto marksman rifle. High damage and great mobility, limited by significant first shot recoil.

Strong and steady, the KRS-7.62 offers a reliable two hit elimination against unarmored enemies up to 25 meters out, an easy double tap when fighting up close with a third shot required for more distant targets. The weapon’s fast recentering speed makes it easy to stay on target for follow up shots, making this a great option combining accuracy and punch for a powerful contender across all modes.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 15" MFS Incursion Barrel

Specialized barrel provides a significant improvement to bullet penetration damage, bullet velocity, and visual recoil stabilization. Blocks Fire Mods.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > KRS-7.62

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the KRS-7.62 (above): Prestige 1: “Pathways.” Prestige 2: “Garden.” Prestige Max: “Horde.”

SMG, Battle Pass Page 6 HVT, Page 15 HVT Tier Battle Pass Blueprint

• Levels: 36
• MAGS: 3
• MAG SIZE: 60
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Full-auto submachine gun with a high capacity, rechambering magazine. Well-rounded with excellent range and recoil.

With 60 rounds in the base model, the CBRS-3 features the largest magazine in its weapon class, capable of reaching 75 rounds with the Redwell Sprocket Mag. This gives the SMG great sustaining power in larger fights, though keep in mind that the magazine requires some manual rotation throughout the firing process.

Prestige Attachment

Magazine > MFS Carousel Fast Mag

Lightweight magazine containing 60 rounds that rechambers on its own to reduce the interruption to sustained fire. Improves reload speed and handling.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > CBRS-3

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the CBRS-3 (above): Prestige 1: “Spectrogram.” Prestige 2: “Fluid.” Prestige Max: “Chameleon.”

Secondary Weapon: Grimhawk

Special, Weekly Challenge Reward

• Levels: 30
• MAGS: 3
• MAG SIZE: 25
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Barrel, Magazine
• Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Full-auto specialized rifle. Fires low-velocity homing rounds that lock onto targets.

Make the enemy pay for opening fire on your position with this Special Weapon that fires rounds with light homing capabilities against targets shooting their weapons. The Grimhawk’s low velocity rounds require some getting used to as the projectiles rapidly drop. Watch the curvature from the trace fire and adjust your aim accordingly, getting a little extra help when your target fires back.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > Long Barrel

Modified barrel enabling homing behavior for rounds fired from hip at close range but sacrifices ADS homing functionality. Improves hipfire spread and movement speed.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Grimhawk

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Grimhawk (above): Prestige 1: “Bloom.” Prestige 2: “Dragon Dance.” Prestige Max: “Raindrop.”

Primary Weapon: VX Compact

Assault Rifle, Event Reward

• Levels: 42
• MAGS: 3
• MAG SIZE: 25
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Full-auto assault rifle. Best-in-class rate of fire and excellent handling, offset by lower range and ammo capacity.

What the VX Compact lacks in damage per shot it makes up for with a blistering fire rate. At 25 rounds in the base magazine, this weapon chews through its supply fast, though its manageable recoil and minimal muzzle flare makes tracking targets seamless. It’s well worth getting some practice under your belt; once you’ve unlocked the Fast Mag Prestige Attachment, you’ll be mowing down targets with little downtime. Just watch that ammo count.

Prestige Attachment

Magazine > MFS Impetus Fast Mag

Extended magazine that auto-ejects to achieve the fastest possible reload speed and improves bullet deviation and recoil stabilization.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > VX Compact

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the VX Compact (above): Prestige 1: “Vacation.” Prestige 2: “Well-Worn.” Prestige Max: “Unseen Eyes.”

Velox 5.7 Pistol, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Barrel

Pistol chassis that converts the Velox 5.7 to full-auto and gives improved range capabilities, at the expense of baseline handling. Unlocks underbarrel and stock customization options.

LTI Stentorian Brake

Most Weapons, Battle Pass Page 7

Attachment > Muzzle

Heavy muzzle device to improve Horizontal Recoil and Bullet Deviation with a slight fire rate improvement. Firing with this attachment reveals your position and direction on the mini-map in real time.
