Black Ops 7 Zombies drops you into an open-map survival mode where every round gets more aggressive, every enemy hits harder, and your loadout becomes the difference between barely surviving and dominating a high-threat zone. Treyarch brought back a huge collection of Tactical items, Lethal tools, Support gear, Ammo Mods, Field Upgrades, and Perk-a-Colas—some unlocked instantly and others tied to level progression or research.
