Black Ops 7 Zombies has eaten my holiday nights alive, and I'm not even mad about it. Liberty Falls and Terminus both feel like they're daring you to slip up once, then they cash you out. The quickest way to stop bleeding rounds is to lock in your augments early, and if you're the type who likes to speed-run unlocks before testing builds, running a BO7 Bot Lobby can make that whole setup phase feel way less like chores.

<h2>Ammo mods that actually save runs</h2>
Cryo Rounds have been my "get off me" button in cramped routes. You freeze a pocket of the horde, cut a corner, reload, and suddenly you're back in control. It's also nasty against those fast holiday waves where Vermin stack up and you can't afford to stand still. If you're leaning into sustained fire, Napalm Burst fits LMGs like it was built for them. Tag the chunkier threats, keep pressure on, and the burn keeps ticking while you reposition. Explosive Tip is still worth a slot if you're using launchers for utility&mdash;crates, clusters, panic clears&mdash;just don't treat it like a main plan on its own.

<h2>Perk augments people keep misplaying</h2>
Quick Revive is where squads either look organised or fall apart. Medic's Touch is huge because the revive isn't the finish line; it's the reset. That little burst of speed after you pick someone up is often what gets both of you out of a bad angle. For solo, Stamin-Up with Endurance Rush feels tailor-made for Liberty Falls routes. You're already looping, so you might as well get paid for it with extra damage while you keep moving. And Jugger-Nog with Iron Skin. Non-negotiable once the Santa Manglers start showing up. Their splash can erase your margin for error, and that damage reduction buys you the second you need to slide away instead of going down.

<h2>Holiday chaos and staying alive long enough to loot</h2>


The event isn't hard because of one big boss. It's hard because everything's happening at once. Faster zombies, exploding Santas, and that constant temptation to grab rewards when you really shouldn't. Aether Shroud with a burst-style augment is perfect for those "in and out" moments&mdash;hit it, snag the drop, and vanish before the map decides you're lunch. The trick is not using it late. Pop it early, while you still have space, and you'll stop getting boxed into corners for no reason. If you're trying to unlock more augments without turning your week into a grind, some players use RSVSR to buy game currency or items in RSVSR so they can spend their time actually playing the fun parts, not just farming the same loops.
