How does Rogue Run work in Black Ops 7 Zombies?
Rouge Run is roguelite Round-Based Zombies. This means you'll spawn on round 1 with a random gray rarity gun, and you'll have to kill all the zombies to proceed to a reward room, where you'll have a choice of three random items. After choosing your reward, you will play the next round in a new area of Ashes of the Damned. You can choose your GobbleGum package, but that's about it. You must earn your charge randomly from your end-of-round rewards, including weapons, perks, field upgrades, ammo mods, and more. This mode is heavy on RNG, so you could be extremely unlucky and have a Green-rarity SMG with Death Perception on turn 15, while your friend might have a Purple-rarity Assault Rifle with all the meta perks. Every 5 rounds an Elite Zombie (Amalgam or Zursa) will spawn, forcing you to kill it as part of the round. In round 20, you enter the boss arena, where you are tasked with killing Luci, Mal, or Mo, an HVT depending on which mode you chose.
Below you'll find the rewards you can get for each Rogue Run course, and even further below you'll find Rogue Run tips that helped us complete each challenge.
Goal: Luci (Tips & Rewards)
| Reward | What it does | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Who's keeping score? | GobbleGum, which creates a double point Power-Up. | Complete round 5 |
| Wonder Weapons | You can now get Ray Gun, Ray Gun Mk2 and Necrofluid Gauntlet as rewards in Rogue Run. | Complete Round 15 |
| Aether tools | You can now get Aether Tools to upgrade weapons as rewards in Rogue Run. | Defeat Luci |
Luci is a very fast Doppelghast, so you'll want to try and hope you get the Stamin-Up so you can maintain the speed to outrun it. Luci will also randomly summon explosive Doppelghasts, which die in one hit but can explode and slow you down. Keep your distance and aim for the head to win!
Objective: Mal (tips and rewards)
| Reward | What it does | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenal accelerator | GobbleGum, making Field Upgrade wins faster. | Complete round 5 |
| Permanent 4th | You can now choose one of four rewards at the end of each round instead of one of three. | Complete Round 15 |
| Hidden power | GobbleGum that upgrades your current weapon to legendary (orange) rarity. | Defeat Mal |
Mal is the HVT you want to be most prepared for, as it will drain nearby zombies and resist standard damage, and the only way to actually break the chain is by using elemental damage from Ammo Mods. Amalgam is stressful, so keep your distance and kill zombies so they can't eat them for health.
Objective: Do (tips and rewards)
| Reward | What it does | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Profit sharing | GobbleGum, where Essence earned is shared between all players. | Complete round 5 |
| Pack-a-Punch Crystals | You can now get Pack-a-Punch Crystals as rewards in Rogue Run. | Complete Round 15 |
| Reinforcements | You can now get Augments for Perks, Ammo Mods and Field Upgrades in Rogue Run. | Defeat Mo |
Mo has a very interesting special effect in the boss arena where he can remove your perks and your weapons, forcing you to pick up new ones from the floor. Try to keep your distance from him and shoot him in the three open heads.
Objectives: All objectives (tips and rewards)
You will fight Luci, Mal and Mo, one at a time, on round 20, round 30 and round 40.
| Reward | What it does | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Chaos | GobbleGum, which reduces all Ammo Mod cooldowns. | Defeat 1 HVT in a single run. |
| Percaholic | GobbleGum, which instantly gives you all the benefits. | Defeat 2 HVTs in a single run. |
| Ray to play | Business card. | Defeat Luci, Mal and Mo in a single run. |
Objectives: All objectives will be the longest you'll spend in Rogue Run, as the average round 20 can take 40+ minutes, so taking on all three objectives (and the elite enemies that spawn every 5 rounds) can take you well into a 90+ minute game, so be resilient and push!
Objective: Endurance (tips and rewards)
You have to survive to round 30, and even though there are no HVTs, there are still elite enemies every 5 rounds.
| Reward | What it does | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Unusual starting gun | You start each match of Rogue Run with an uncommon (green) gun (the gun itself is random). | Complete Round 10. |
| Armor upgrades | You can now get Tier 2 and Tier 3 Armor from round-end rewards in Rogue Run. | Complete Round 20. |
| Rare starting gun | You start each match of Rogue Run with a rare (blue) gun (the gun itself is random). | Complete round 30. |
Objectives: Endurance is really all about endurance, as you have to get past round 30. This will take a while, as each round is much longer than normal with an abundance of zombies, but this is a good place to start before you do Target: All Targets, as you can get a Blue 1911 for Mustang & Sally.
Rogue Run Tips for Black Ops 7 Zombies
- Nuke Power-Ups can instantly end the roundand you can force them to play with Reign Drops GobbleGums.
- You can spend 30,000 Essence on Chompy, the trash can found in each POI.
- Chompy can spit out Perks, PaP Crystals, Aether Tools and more!
- Try to use an Ammo Mod that is effective against Zursas and Amalgams, as these are the elite enemies that spawn every 5 rounds.
- You can only have 1 weapon (and 1 melee weapon), so make sure your end-of-round rewards count.
- Even if RNG is a factor, you will get Pack-a-Punch and higher rarity weapons after round 14.
