CoD: Black Ops 7 Store

CoD Black Ops 7 Season 3 Reloaded went live on April 30th, bringing with it a wealth of new content, enough to keep you engaged until the next season arrives, including a crossover event featuring RoboCop.

The event itself doesn't introduce a unique new game mode, it features both free and premium reward tracks. You can unlock new items within these tracks by earning XP through playing standard BO7 modes.

Within the free track, the most coveted, and undoubtedly the most difficult to obtain, reward is the ultimate prize: the special energy weapon known as Siren. In this guide, we'll focus on introducing this gear to help you decide whether it's worth the effort to unlock it.

How to unlock Siren?

RoboCop event runs until May 28th. During this period, you must earn at least 460,000 XP by participating in any Black Ops 7 game mode to unlock Siren.

While there is a possibility the weapon might be added to the armory later on, it's not guaranteed.

Furthermore, unlocking it via the armory would still require completing a significant number of challenges, so you're better off securing it directly before RoboCop event concludes!

To earn the necessary XP as quickly as possible, you'll need to be sufficiently familiar with at least one game mode to efficiently eliminate enemies. However, the faster option is to buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies from IGGM!

Combat difficulty is significantly lower in bot lobbies, and we guarantee a safe and stable gaming environment. This allows you to clear out enemies with far less effort than usual, letting you quickly redeem Siren once your XP totals are tallied!

Siren overview

In short, Siren is a charge-based weapon that fires slow-moving but extremely high-damage projectiles capable of piercing through enemies.

It is particularly well-suited for taking down hordes of enemies in Zombies mode. Additionally, you can charge up the weapon to increase the projectile's flight speed.

Projectile effects

Once a Siren projectile strikes an enemy, especially a single target, it results in an instant kill, thanks to its massive single-shot damage output of 100 points.

Furthermore, the specific hit location is completely irrelevant; as long as the projectile makes contact with an enemy in any way, it results in an immediate one-shot kill.

Most importantly, the projectiles are capable of piercing through enemies. This means it is entirely possible to achieve multi-kills with a single shot, as the projectile suffers absolutely no damage drop-off when passing through any target.

However, while Siren's projectiles do not suffer damage degradation when penetrating enemies, they will instantly shatter and vanish the moment they strike any non-enemy surface, such as various forms of cover.

More importantly, due to the sheer size of the projectiles themselves, their hitboxes are correspondingly massive; consequently, they are highly prone to colliding with cover.

That said, the weapon also boasts a high margin for error: even if a shot appears to have missed an enemy, it may still register as a hit.

Fire rate analysis

The weapon's actual fire rate is a mere 32 rounds per minute. In the context of CoD: Black Ops 7, this is considered quite sluggish, effectively precluding the possibility of rapid-fire bursts.

Precisely for this reason, if you miss a shot while engaging an enemy with Siren, you will find it extremely difficult to land a follow-up shot, unless you can leverage the interval between shots to reposition yourself strategically and regain the tactical advantage.

As for projectile velocity, if you merely tap the trigger to fire as quickly as possible, you will notice that the weapon features no pre-fire delay.

However, adopting this firing method causes the projectile velocity to plummet to its absolute minimum, a mere 12.7 meters per second.

Unless you are engaging at extremely close range, or simply relying on sheer luck, it is virtually impossible to land a hit on a target with a projectile traveling at such a glacial pace.

Consequently, we highly recommend utilizing the weapon's charge-shot mechanic. When fully charged, the projectile velocity reaches 38 meters per second.

While this still isn't exactly fast, it is undeniably a vast improvement over firing without a charge, thereby significantly boosting your chances of hitting the target.

Frustratingly, the game provides no explicit visual indicator to display your charge progress; you must rely solely on subtle changes in audio cues to gauge when the charge is complete. Typically, a full charge takes approximately 3 seconds to build up.

By default, Siren's projectiles possess a lifetime of 6 seconds, after which they will automatically self-destruct, even if they have yet to strike any object.

This mechanism imposes a strict limit on the maximum distance a Siren projectile can travel before self-destructing, a limitation that becomes particularly pronounced when you forgo the charge-shot mechanic. When fired without a charge, the weapon's effective maximum range is capped at a mere 76 meters.

Exclusive attachment

MFS Deflection Core is the exclusive magazine attachment for Siren, it can be available after unlocking Siren Prestige Level 1. Its effects include providing additional ammunition, increasing projectile velocity, and enabling bullets to ricochet.

While the first two enhancements take effect, they simultaneously cause a further reduction in the weapon's fire rate. Fortunately, the overall projectile muzzle velocity is boosted, particularly when fully charged.

However, a tricky drawback is that equipping this attachment reduces the projectile's flight duration, thereby further limiting its effective range; the bullets can travel a maximum distance of only 48 meters.

As for the ricochet mechanic, it means that Siren's projectiles will bounce off a target's body after making contact. Although this eliminates the weapon's ability to pierce through targets, the ricochet mechanism still allows you to land consecutive hits on multiple players.

Furthermore, the projectiles suffer no damage drop-off during the ricochet process. In other words, no matter how many times a bullet bounces before striking an enemy, it retains the ability to achieve a one-shot kill.

Therefore, if you are engaging in combat within a small, enclosed environment and utilize the weapon's charge-up mechanic, you can undoubtedly achieve excellent results in actual gameplay.

Pairing with Gung-Ho Perk

Beyond its exclusive attachment, if you wish to further boost Siren's combat effectiveness, it is highly recommended that you equip Gung-Ho perk. This perk allows you to fully charge your weapon while maintaining a sprinting state.

Consequently, if you need to open fire with Siren immediately during a firefight, you simply need to release the trigger to instantly launch a projectile at extremely high velocity, thereby significantly increasing your chances of hitting the target.

Compared to playing with Siren without this perk, this strategy enables you to adopt a much more proactive and aggressive stance on the battlefield, ensuring you aren't hindered by the weapon's otherwise sluggish response time.

Is Siren worth it?

If you are unable to unlock the specific attachment mentioned above, you may find that acquiring and using Siren feels somewhat unrewarding. However, when utilized in the right scenarios and with the proper technique, Siren delivers solid performance in actual combat.

The above covers everything you need to know about obtaining and using Siren in BO7. With just over two weeks remaining in RoboCop event, if this weapon appeals to you, now is the time to put in the effort to unlock it!

Guys, in Call of Duty Black Ops 7, whether you're frustrated by the boss's meteor shower or constantly failing at the frozen Viking head phase, this guide will help you successfully challenge Totenreich boss fight, bringing you techniques you never thought possible.

Recommended Equipment

Primary Weapon

Here, we absolutely must choose a weapon with high damage, high rate of fire, and long-range shooting capability. Therefore, Vapr-XKG assault rifle is the first choice because of its high rate of fire, controllable recoil, and excellent long-range damage, making it the most stable overall.

Secondly, choose M34 Novaline marksman rifle. Its high single-shot damage is suitable for players who prefer burst fire.

Next, XM325 light machine gun is also a good choice for a primary weapon. Its large magazine allows for sustained fire, but the reload speed is a bit slow, requiring good positioning.

In addition, make sure to upgrade your primary weapon to Pack-a-Punch 3 and achieve the orange Legendary quality; otherwise, your damage output will be severely insufficient, turning boss battles into ammo hell.

Secondary Weapon

Dual-wielding M1911 pistols and appropriate attachments are highly recommended as secondary weapons. While this deals only moderate damage to the main boss, it's extremely fast at clearing hordes of zombies. It's best to upgrade these to Pack-a-Punch 3 as well.

Alternative secondary weapons include Ray Gun, Ray Gun Mark II, or Code 9 Pistol. Their main purpose is to allow you to use equivalent exchange when using Quick Revive, enabling you to revive yourself after being knocked down.

It's not recommended to spend a lot of points upgrading Jotunn Star Wonder Weapon to level 3, as it's not essential for boss battles.

Before entering real-time combat, to ensure your weapon setup is suitable, you can try different weapons in CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies to optimize your weapon's performance.

Field Upgrade

If you're playing solo, Frenzied Guard is the strongest choice. It restores all armor upon activation, maximizing your safety, and you don't have to worry about ammo usage.

If you're in team mode, you can choose Aether Shroud, but the zombie pressure isn't high. Frenzied Guard will still be very useful.

GobbleGums

If you're playing solo, Reign Drops will drop more supplies. Alternatively, choose Power Keg and Shields Up.

In co-op mode, you can replace Power Keg with Near Death Experience. This prevents you from losing skills when rescuing teammates or yourself, greatly reducing the chance of failure.

Gear and Killstreak Rewards

These are the two most crucial aspects. For tactical gear, use LT53 Kazimir to hold off the zombies in the first phase, allowing you to safely attack weak points. For lethal gear, use Frag Grenade.

Additionally, War Machine can be used to clear dense zombie hordes. Robots are randomly dropped during boss fights, but it's recommended to bring one as a backup.

Boss Fight Phase Breakdown

Phase 1: Ice Giant - Weakness Shooting

After the fight begins, zombies will spawn continuously and at a relatively fast pace. Drop LT53 Kazimir to attract surrounding zombies, then focus on shooting weak points. The giant will occasionally launch missiles and freeze areas. Pay attention to the minimap markers and avoid the frozen zones.

It's recommended to conserve ammo during this phase and only shoot weak points, otherwise the damage will be extremely low.

Robot drops may include War Machines or Death Machines. These deal very little damage to the boss itself, but are very useful for clearing zombies.

Phase 2: Frozen Viking Head Breakthrough

The giant will summon a rotating frozen Viking head. The conventional method is to charge and throw it using Josen Star Wonder Weapon, but the following two methods are simpler and more efficient.

First, War Machine method: Wait for the frozen Viking head to stop rotating and for its mouth to open and aim at you, then use War Machine to bombard its mouth. This will cause it to land, at which point you should unleash your full damage.

The second and most recommended method is to use Frag Grenade. Hold down the pin and watch for its eyes to turn red and its mouth to open. At that instant, throw a grenade into its mouth to knock it down instantly.

In single-player mode, you only need to deal with one rotating frozen Viking head. In co-op or cursed mode, there might be two or three heads, but these methods still work.

Phase 3: Dodging + Weak Point Shooting

The giant will freeze large areas. You need to run while holding Jotunn Star Wonder Weapon to avoid damage. Alternatively, activate the traps at the edge of the arena; you won't be frozen within that area.

The giant will also release a meteor shower. You must immediately hide behind pillars, sticking close to them, or you'll be instantly killed.

New weak points will appear on the giant's arms, chest, etc. Shoot during the intervals between attacks.

If you run out of ammo, kill zombies to get more. Pay attention to your armor value and try to use Frenzied Guard to restore armor.

Final Phase

When the giant's health is reduced to about one-fifth, it will forcibly drag you to the center of the arena and block off most of the area. Numerous rune-shaped projectiles will appear from the air, hurtling towards you at high speed.

It's best to activate Frenzied Guard for unlimited ammo, damage reduction, and armor regeneration. Use Shields Up as needed to further increase your armor. Keep moving and continuously shoot at the giant's remaining health.

As long as you don't stand still and lie down in time, you'll generally not fall. Finally, the robots will rush out to finish off the boss, and once the boss is dead, you've cleared the level.

That concludes the strategies and tips for Totenreich boss fight.
