The final step in Operation: King Killer in Black Ops 7 Endgame is definitely a head scratcher for players unsure of how to accomplish their goals. From completing a Terminal Vector Activity to defeating the Prime Target Glitch Boss, there's a lot to tackle. Here is a full walkthrough of Glitch Step: Prime Targetalong with how to beat all the Glitch Bosses quickly Black Ops 7 Playoffs.

Glitch Step: Command Killer Black Ops 7 Endgame Guide (Free Camo, Skins & More)
Black Ops 7 players can earn a free Camo, Operator Skins and more by completing the Command Killer Glitch in Endgame. This is how you do it.
Objective #1: Complete a terminal vector activity
To complete a terminal vector activity, you must first do so find an encryption key. You can get one of both defeat a DAWG or Rhino during a surprise activity in the Tier IV zoneor off eliminate a Titan in a Guild Stronghold within the Tier IV Zone.
Once you have an encryption key, a Terminal Vector Activity will spawn on the map, either at the building south of High Town or at the Heli Port. Go to Terminal Vector Activity while carrying the encryption key at either POI and interact with the command node to trigger the activity.
From here you have to do it complete a total of four different waves inside the building where the terminal vector activity was triggered. Here's a summary of each:
- Shutdown Imminent (Stay in Area): Stay in the area until the timer reaches zero. During this time, enemies will be dropped into the area via VTOL. Eliminate them to reduce the number of enemies you have to deal with during the next wave.
- Locking (destroys firewall modules): Several firewall modules will appear around the walls of the building. Destroy each one before the timer reaches zero. You can scout their locations during the Lockdown Imminent stage to save time. All Guild Bots in the area will activate during this phase, so be sure to deal with them as well.
- Defend the command node: Return to the command node (terminal) and stay within the blue zone while defending against incoming enemies. Complete the progress bar before time runs out.
- Survive the attack: Survive against waves of enemies until the timer reaches zero. I managed to complete this by staying in a room with only one entrance, which made it much easier to eliminate enemies. Keep in mind that the goal is simply to survive, as enemies will continue to spawn until the timer runs out.
Once you complete all four waves, Prime Target Glitch Fracture will be unlocked for all future gamesthus eliminating the need to repeat this activity.

Glitch Step: Virus Injection Black Ops 7 Endgame Guide (Free Camo, Skins & More)
Black Ops 7 Endgame's Operation Broken Mirror is a breeze until the very last stage. How to complete the Glitch step: Virus injection, fast.
Objective #2: Enter the Prime Target Glitch and defeat the Glitch Boss
Prime Target Glitch can be found on the island south of Coastal Security. Before you go there, I recommend using an operator with a combat rating of at least 60, together with at least a fully upgraded exotic weapon. When you arrive at the Glitch, interact with it to enter.
I also recommend equip an EMP grenade as your tactical, the Crash Cart ability if playing soloor have a teammate with the Ballistic Shield ability if you are in a team. Inside the Prime Target Glitch, you must defeat three Glitch Bosses within three different Glitch Sectors within the time limit. Here are the best methods to eliminate each one, quickly.
Glitch Sector 1: How to beat HZRD-666
In this sector you will face a boss version of the Rhino Elite Enemy. To do the most damage, aim for the center of the enemy's head to land critical hits. Use cover to your advantage, be aware of the other enemies that spawn, including unknown units that can trap you, and use your EMP grenades to temporarily stun HZRD-666 so you can deal damage without interruption.
At certain times, HZRD-666 will become immune to damage. When this happens, eliminate the enemies marked in yellow and return the shards they drop to the zone in the center of the sector. You will need to deploy four shards in solo play or eight in squads to make HZRD-666 vulnerable again. Repeat this process until HZRD-666 is defeated.
Glitch Sector 2: How to beat X9-Hellcore
To beat X9-Hellcore you must first make the Glitch Boss vulnerable by capturing a zone marked on your HUD. To do this, stay in the zone and defend against waves of enemies until it is completely captured. Be careful not to get caught. Since most enemies are Unknown Entities and Guild Bots, you can stun them with EMP grenades.
When X9-Hellcore becomes vulnerable I recommend heading directly under it. That way it can't hit you with any of its projectiles. Continuously fire at X9-Hellcore to deal as much damage as possible until it becomes invulnerable again. Capture the next zone and repeat these steps until its health reaches zero.
Glitch Sector 3: How to beat D3M-ON
To beat the final boss, D3M-ON, I recommend first heading to each of the Sentry Turrets outlined in yellow and activating them before the boss plays. These will keep the unknown devices off your back. Be sure to take the time to reactivate them throughout the encounter, as they only remain active for a short period of time.
From here, to turn D3M-ON, you simply must do enough damage. During my playthrough I couldn't find a critical weak point, so shooting anywhere will do the trick. You also can't get close to the boss or stun it with EMP grenades, so keep that in mind. During the fight, D3M-ON will use a variety of attacks and moves. Here's each one and how to deal with them:
- Standard ranged attack: This is the most basic attack that D3M-ON uses. Keep moving, as it is notoriously inaccurate, while continuing to fire at the boss.
- Laser Attack: At the start of each phase, the D3M-ON fires a laser that can stun you. Stay behind cover to avoid it. When the laser is pointing in the opposite direction, be sure to fire at the D3M-ON.
- Rocket Attack: This comes in two forms. The first is an explosion of three rockets fired after D3M-ON jumps to the side of the arena, which you can avoid by evading or taking cover. The other is a barrage that targets marked locations while remaining in the arena. Dodge these rockets to avoid taking damage.
- Leap shock wave: This only occurs when D3M-ON jumps back to the center of the arena after jumping outside of it. Make sure you are airborne when the shockwave lands to avoid taking damage.
Once you've dealt enough damage, D3M-ON will be defeated. This will fully complete the Prime Target Glitch and reward you with the final rewards for Operation: King Killer, along with a nightmare skill for your operator.
