This was such a fun run. Gained some really good artefacts & damage bonuses to stack with, plenty of Integrity Upgrades & then I just get one shot by a laser. I do believe it was one of those enemies I had literally just killed who spam their laser around the arena, but I didn’t even see it get booted up, nor where it came from 🤣 has anyone else experienced this?

After struggling for so, so long, even posting the day before about how I lost one of my best runs, I managed to tackle my way through Abyssal Scar, kill Ophion, and complete the game. I literally have no words for how I feel right now, I never knew a video game could make me feel so many different emotions. Adrenaline, anger, anxiety, frustration, sad, happy. All of them. It’s actually insane, I’ve never played a game like it.

To all the Scouts who have given up or lose motivation because of the difficulty, please stick it out, it’s a 10/10 masterpiece like I genuinely cannot fault the game, one of the best I’ve ever played. It took me between 30-35 hours to clear all Biomes, a gruelling set of hours honestly, it’s not been easy. However, I will be forever happy I picked up the game again!

I guess my biggest question is… what now? I know I have the Tower to grind, & maybe the Platinum too. Is there anything else I’m missing base game wise? I don’t want it to be over just yet 🤣

I think this run was around 1.5-2 hours. I had a few healing glyph consumables & an Astronaut Minifigure, maxed out all of the Integrity upgrades that were just so unfortunately ‘wasted’ I guess. I was super tired and I just wasn’t expecting this big ass mini boss to pop up like that. Caught me off guard & I panicked. I really don’t think depleting my health like that is needed 🥲

I was devastated of course but we continue pushing nonetheless, I’m really happy I even made it this far into Abyssal Scar. This game is testing my limits more than I thought it would. Although it sucks, you just gotta grind it out man.

I am so close to the final boss it’s actually making me anxious, I can’t wait to update all of you when I finally defeat him.

When I first picked this game up I had no idea I would be able to make it this far, all the rage inducing deaths have been so worth it. I genuinely don’t want the game to end.

Which leads me to say that I really hope Biome 5 & 6 pack an absolute punch, because dare I say Hyperion was a bit of a pushover? I’ve found all bosses incredibly hard up to yet, but Hyperion was over in minutes. Weapon Trait Level 19, sure, but? Just my honest opinion. Nemesis however, was peak cinema, I’m excited to see the final 2 bosses.

Anyway, I’m super proud of myself for getting this far, I love this game so much. Onto Fractured Wastes 🫡

This has to be my favourite EE in BO7 by far, it’s sooo good. The steps aren’t too tedious, the Wonder Weapon is super fun, challenging boss, ticks all the boxes. I wasn’t really big into EEs since BO3 but since it was all I had left to do in BO7 Zombies I thought why not, & I’m so glad I did!

Once you begin to learn the EE steps by heart it gets really fun & addictive. Can anyone let me know if there’s any good Relics I should be trying to get from Totenreich? Excited to search for them!

Well worth the grind, this is probably my favourite Level 250 camo apart from Void Stripe. Been wanting this one for a while, it suits BO7s aesthetic really well & so far the camo pairs well with just about all blueprints out there, & operators too.

If you’re on the fence about grinding the Flatline, do it. I love QWERTY & I’ll be using it for a while. Road to Cold Snap. Let me know what you want to see next & which weapon you’re currently grinding.

For some context, I posted a while ago now about how I finally defeated Phrike after months & months of struggling, I felt incredible. Afterwards, I put the game down. No particular reason, I just had other games to play at the time. Crimson Wastes was the furthest I had ever gotten, I remember playing around in the Biome for about 20 minutes, then dipping.

So after playing Saros for many hours I just had an extreme itch to go back to Returnal. My god I’m so happy I did, it’s exactly what I needed. Must of died over 50 times just getting used to the game again, but that’s okay, it’s part of the game. I muscled on & eventually found my way to Ixion for the first time ever. What a phenomenal fight, I absolutely loved it. As you can see it was a close call, I haven’t felt my heart beat that fast in ages. Palms were sweaty. I genuinely think the adrenaline rush you get from these games overtakes any Souls game, idk, there’s no game no like it.

Super excited now I’ve finally got my Grapple & made it to Biome 3. The fight is a bit rusty on my end, so apologies in advance. But thank the Lords for the extra life minifigure, literally saved a 1.5 hour run.

Okay, so. I recently completed the Paradox Junction Easter Egg in Directed Mode. I went in solo, because trying to find a public squad that will do it together & actually stay in the map is abysmal. My first ever EE completion since BO3.

Anyway, I’ve never ever touched Cursed Mode before. But I was very interested since seeing some of the Trials & Relics and how much fun it can be once you hit Tier III. When finding out you had to complete at least one EE to unlock Relics, I chose PJ because it seemed to be the easiest.

The only thing is, I have no clue what to do now. So since I’ve only completed the PJ quest, can I now only find Relics within PJ? can I even unlock Relics at all since it was done in Directed Mode? If I can, how do I unlock them? Can I make it to Tier III? Do I need to complete all EE on every map to unlock them? I know, I have so many questions because Cursed is brand new to me, but I really want to get into it.

Any help at all is massively appreciated. I think once I understand what to do I’ll enjoy it more! Thank you.

I’ll admit, I was using a couple of protection modifiers. Increased weapon damage and easier to perform a perfect reload. But I also used maximum corruption, loss of artefact upon reaching a new Biome, & increased hostile damage. It felt really balanced for me personally, kept the challenge alight while also deleting bosses within minutes (after a few attempts learning their moves).

Since Saros has been a lot more approachable & easier to get into, I really want to go back to Returnal. Now I understand the game mechanics and how Biomes work I think I’ll enjoy it a lot more. I’ve only ever gotten to Crimson Wastes & just gave up because it was either too hard or I just didn’t know what to do. But thanks to Saros I feel a lot more confident, even if it is more unforgiving.

The Sun is forever.

I suppose a video would have done it more justice because it’s animated, so apologies in advance. But I love this camo, a lot. Although it doesn’t glow as much as I thought it would, well worth the grind. If you could even call it that, smashed it out over the Double XP weekend & used a few tokens, easy money.

Had to cop this one since it’s apparently a tribute to 2009s MW2 emblem Abduction, so how I could I not?

Cold Snap camo is still so far away. I don’t think I’ll ever reach it unless I start going for Level 250 camos I don’t even like. We’ll see 🤣

I genuinely wish BO7 was receiving a second year of support. With Season 5 nearing & MW4 getting closer, I find myself looking back through my time playing BO7 & realising just how much fun I’ve had & been having, still.

If it wasn’t for the Campaign being admittedly dog water I don’t think this game would have received the hate it did. Granted, this timeline of CoD isn’t everyone’s cup of tea ie futuristic, robots, wall running/jumping etc, I completely understand that. But let’s ignore the Campaign & focus on 3 incredible modes they’ve given us this year. Multiplayer is fun, Endgame is a great addition, & BO7 is shaping up to be one of the best games for Zombies since BO3 in my opinion.

Hundreds & hundreds of camos & challenges to grind for, weapon prestige, prestige master challenges. I cannot fault the content drop this year, to me they have given us more than enough to play & keep busy.

It’s CoD, of course they still get things wrong. Cheaters, lag, disconnecting lobbies (though I’m fortunate to have a better experience it seems, maybe good internet?) content & gameplay wise I think it’s been amazing, & I’ll absolutely continue playing BO7 even when MW4 drops. What about you guys?

I was hoping for a Reboot, Hypersurge or Redline. It’s okay though, I’ll prestige soon anyways. Just wanted to showcase the Akimbo KOGOT. If you haven’t already, give them a try.

Current set up is Eagle Eye, Bulldozer & Guardian. Exotics are Fission III & Echo Shell II. Nightmare: Chaos Rounds. Super fun build, I’ll be sad to see it go.

This attachment has came in absolutely clutch since the ION is the next weapon I want to get to Level 250, I love the Snake Eyes camo. Things have just gotten a lot easier. It’s a shame the attachment doesn’t do absurd damage, but I also understand they have to keep it balanced.

If spray & pray was a gun, it would be this. Switch off your brain & hold R2, watch the numbers & kills rack up.

So today I finally unlocked the Genesis mastery camo in Endgame. Honestly, this was an absolute breeze & I had a lot of fun doing it. I never really “farmed” camos or kills along the way apart from the last few Elites I needed to get it done, I just played normally & tried my best to unlock it naturally. The moment I start doing a particular strat or farm I just lose all enjoyment.

One of my favourite camos in the game & surprisingly I find it to be a lot nicer than Infestation, idk, there’s something about the frame rate between the two that sets them apart so much. Regardless, Singularity is up next, then Infestation last. WZ won’t be getting touched.

For any advice &/or tips on Genesis, ask away. I strongly recommend getting Molton Gold for all of your weapons first, then you can farm different weapons during the match via Command Centres, HVTs etc, for rapid Moonstone unlocks. Same thing applies for Chroma Flux. Once you have Moonstone on everything you want, kill your Elites and constantly swap weapons from the caches they drop - Low Town Zone 4 remains the best place for Elite kills, other than that I would say Nightmare Zones or Guild Bosses, but they take longer to kill. This is so much better than building a weapon, getting Chroma Flux, escaping, then repeat. That got boring fast!

I don’t remember being able to clear this much distance with Kinetic Jump. Has this always been a thing? D’you travel the same distance regardless of if you hold R1 or just press it? Surely not… or am I losing it?
