Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 introduces one of the franchise’s boldest features yet — Endgame, a 32-player co-op mode that unlocks after completing the campaign. Set in the sprawling, toxin-ridden city of Avalon, Endgame transforms the traditional post-campaign experience into a dynamic, replayable PvE battleground where survival, teamwork, and skill customization are key.
What Is Endgame in Black Ops 7?
After finishing the main story’s 11 missions, players unlock Endgame, a cooperative mode that continues the campaign narrative. Here, you and up to 31 others (in squads of four) explore Avalon’s vast open zones, taking on assignments, gathering intel, upgrading weapons, and pushing deeper into increasingly lethal exposure areas.
Each operator’s Combat Rating determines their progression. As you gain XP, you unlock Abilities and Skills, boosting your power—but beware: death wipes all progress and resets your rating to zero. Successful exfils preserve your loadout and earned upgrades for future runs.
Major Abilities
Major Abilities are the cornerstone of your Operator’s power. Each one offers a unique tactical edge or devastating offensive tool, designed for different playstyles.
- Ballistic Shell – Deploys an energy shield that blocks incoming enemy fire.
- Active Camo – Turns you nearly invisible for a short duration; firing reveals your position.
- Hand Cannon – A high-damage, accurate sidearm for taking out enemies at range.
- Crash Cart – Instantly revives downed allies within range and grants brief invulnerability; can self-revive when downed.
- Vision Pulse – Sends out a pulse that tags enemies through walls for your squad, increasing damage against tagged foes.
- War Machine – Fires a single, explosive grenade round with a wide blast radius.
- Shadow Break – Creates an energy field that teleports and damages enemies caught within.
- Drone Pod – Deploys drones that autonomously seek and detonate on enemies.
Pro tip: Choose your Major Ability based on your preferred playstyle. Active Camo suits stealthy operators, while War Machine caters to explosive crowd control.
Minor Abilities
Minor Abilities complement your Major by enhancing mobility, support, or battlefield control.
- Grappling Hook – Quickly ascend or escape by grappling to surfaces.
- Portal Grenade – Deploys illusions to confuse enemies for a short time.
- Kinetic Jump – Perform massive vertical jumps; landing stuns nearby foes.
- Flicker – Teleport a short distance forward; can phase through enemies.
- Supply Link – Resupplies your squad with ammo, armor, and partially recharges Major Ability energy.
- Black Hat – Hack enemy devices, vehicles, and even soldiers to disable or turn them against their allies.
Combination Tip: Pair Crash Cart (Major) with Supply Link (Minor) for a strong support build that keeps your team alive and supplied.
