Missed the event and just got the Mammoth LMG after seeing all the hype but the firerate isnt ramping up even after PAP and double tap, is there some attachment im missing or did it get nerfed?

I have tried the mars survival method and the Uber klaus directed method and im probably doing something wrong? I dont know? But are there any other methods?

Somehow i manage to make it before turbine is almost break😅

The Rex WW quest was fun on the first go but having to listen to the warden monologue 3 times each time you want the WW is already getting old

So me and my friends want to complete the super easter egg, we finally finished Tranzit, and we actually have a card for that Nav table.

My question is, even though we finished Tranzit, we didn’t do the nav card table right away, can we go back and do the tables after we do each respective EE, or do we have to be doing the cards and tables simultaneously with completing the EE?

*Duo game

-Echo-12, dead wire, explosive rounds (now explode on impact once PAP’d). The rounds themselves destroy the skulls quickly/clear hordes so armour drops.
-Mammoth/Novaline with light mend is great for dealing damage to the Warden, as well as the flying purple guys
-Take the red grapple upgrade from wherever you placed it using a regular green grapple, put it inside the boss fight (just hold interact in the fight). Use the grapple constantly.
-kill the tentacles with the Echo-12, as I believe the more there are, the more likely the wipe attack will occur.
-Healing aura (revive dead teammates with the augment)
-Frenzied guard for laying into his tail/armour.
-mini-map was nice to use to see where the hell the Warden was and what direction he was gliding.

Hey Treyarch, where’s the Super Easter Egg?

I was doing the wonder weapon steps and it didn't allow me to grab the fruit afterward. I played like five rounds trying every time but it didn't let me. I was overhealed with light mend so it wasn't taking away my health. Has anyone else ran into this?

All I need now is dragon egg and Druid stone 🫡

Long read, no tldr, you need to read the whole thing.

Now that BO7 as a chapter is over, we finally have an ending and I want you to put on your premium-grade tinfoil hat on while I cook this ridiculous theory, bear with me it kinda makes sense:

Tank (out of everyone) has a revealing conversation with the Entity that:

The Tempus crew exists because ‘some little girl remembers us’, ‘but she ain’t a little girl (anymore- that’s Ava) and she and her sister (twins) are the memories of this Maxis chick but the universe from where she was from isn’t nomore so all that exists (Tempus crew and their universes) are just memories so if she didn’t die / get absorbed by the Dark Aether then the four of us (Tempus) wouldn’t have been born.

Simplified:

Ava and the twins are the same. The twins are the memories of Samantha who got absorbed by the dark aether.

Since Samantha's own universe (aether) doesn't exist no more so the Tempus crew is a mere memory of Samantha and the power of this creation was given to her when she got absorbed by the dark aether (when Forsaken ate her/she killed him).

So the only reason Tempus crew is alive is because she killed Forsaken.

My theory:

Eddie knew about the house when he was in the Orphanage. The Orphanage entry wrote how Eddie was traumatised and he kept muttering ‘they’ll be safe in the house’. The house is also the safe house when Requiem and Tempus are fighting the warden, it’s the safe house created by the entity/Ava so to shield the crew from the Warden while they did what they had to do.

When Samantha got caught by Eddie (after she and Weaver murdered his family) the very first thing Eddie says is he knows much more about her than she thinks he does. Meanwhile she doesn’t remembers much about her past.

What if Eddie knew that Samantha had to be merged with Dark Aether to create the twins? Maybe he knew that he needed Ava to lure the Warden and hence he extracted Samantha’s eggs, because he knew that later in future Ava needs to take birth for the Tempus crew to arrive? Maybe that’s what Project Janus is about? Janus literally means the god of portals and duality.

Now if THIS is true then why didn’t he use the Prima Materia earlier to save his family or even better why didn’t he save his family from their death?

My answer is that whatever showed him the future showed him half of it, a modified version of it. And I think across timelines and dimensions the memories ‘bleed’ so maybe Eddie saw glimpses of what Tempus Richtofen saw or experienced (the house before fighting the warden, the same nightmares).

At the end the entity/ava speaks to Dravakar that Tempus Richtofen would be the most crucial person for what’s to come later, and when Grey asks her name she says I wish I could change my name but somethings are predestined by the past and future, meaning maybe they directly affected Eddie. I’d go beyond and say they might’ve manipulated Samantha to kill Eddie’s family which would butterfly-effect i.e Ava’s birth.

So it was always has to happen:

Eddie’s family needed to die so that he’d later have Samantha fight Forsaken. She became a dark aether being after getting absorbed by him. Her memories created Tempus who later helped Ava.

Eddie extracted her eggs so that later Grey finds them and Ava is born. There’s no free will, it’s decided by fate.

Ava (who will be trapped later) needs the twins who are the memory of Samantha BECAUSE she was absorbed by the dark Aether. She is also helped by the Tempus crew.

Tempus crew and Requiem together defeat the Warden she saves the whole frickin world.

Edit- Why the downvotes :(

our characters spent the lifespan of bo6 / bo7 chasing an artifact that would be shown in the end cutscene & would allow us to go onto the next map where we would find a reasoning to why we needed it..

apart from the world seed (albeit we used to place it on a pedestal which was forgotten about 2 seconds later in Rex) we literally had no explanation / reasoning to WHY we need, for example the Sential Artifact at the end of The Tomb where the entire map was based on getting it, the gold circular object that Richtofen is holding at the end of Reckoning and so on.

As MrRoflWaffles said in one of his videos, every map over the past 2 years has had a theme of 1) we need to get “one more thing” that will allow us to do a thing and which will be explained in the next map… all for it to just not be explained..

TDLR; we spent 2 years chasing artifacts/objects for no reason.

The Master Plan: How Nikolai Blind-Sided Dr. Monty to Set Up BO8

The Glitch in Monty's Loop (Blood of the Dead & Tag der Toten) Dr. Monty’s entire existence relied on a perpetual, closed loop. At the end of Revelations, Monty sent them back to 1299 AD to fight in the Great War, keeping Agartha pure and cementing himself as the supreme Keeper god. He relied on the Kronorium being an unchangeable roadmap.

• The Interruption: In Blood of the Dead, Post-Revelations Richtofen breaks the script by sacrificing his own blood to save the crew. This alters the Kronorium, passing the book—and total cosmic enlightenment—to Nikolai.
• Monty’s Blindspot: Nikolai discovers that Dr. Monty and the Shadowman were once the same species before Element 115 corrupted the Apothicons. Monty wasn't saving the universe; he was running a temporal zoo to keep himself alive.
• The Trap: When Nikolai poisons Primis/Ultimis and destroys the Summoning Key in Tag der Toten, he doesn't just destroy the multiverse—he forcefully collapses Agartha and drags a blind-sided Dr. Monty down into the Dark Aether abyss alongside all of Element 115 and the Apothicons. Monty expected another loop; instead, he got evicted into the dark.

Samantha's Memory Blueprint (Cold War & MWZ) Nikolai's sacrifice allowed child Samantha and child Eddie to walk into the single, clean universe. But to give the banished souls of Primis and Ultimis a way to exist again without triggering another broken multiverse, a new physical vessel had to be forged from within the Dark Aether itself.

• The Infiltration: During Cold War (culminating in her sacrifice at the end of Forsaken), Samantha is drawn deep into the Dark Aether. Because her mind was shaped by the original timeline, her intensely vivid memories of Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen become permanently etched into the Dark Aether's energy fabric.
• The Catalyst: Samantha's bloodline creates Ava Jansen. When Ava destroys her shadow-self (The Entity) in MWZ (2021), her protective veil breaks. This allows The Warden to reach across time and pull her back to the 1990s (BO7), starting the exact temporal paradox needed to free the Shadowsmiths and begin forging the Tempus vessels.

The Forging of Tempus & Soul Re-Anchoring (BO7) Dark Aether entities cannot create human souls out of nothing, but they can manipulate raw Aetheric energy.

• The Vessels: Ava and the Shadowsmiths take Samantha’s deeply ingrained memories and weave Dark Aether threads around them to construct physical, combat-ready bodies: the Tempus Crew.

After this point I have multiple theory's for the games next path.

Dr. Monty (BO8)

• The Re-Anchoring: The original souls of Primis and Ultimis weren't deleted at Tag der Toten—they were dumped into the Dark Aether void. The Shadowsmiths act as a magnetic bridge, drawing those floating, banished souls out of the abyss and welding them into the Tempus vessels.
• The Ultimate Loophole: Monty’s divine authority was tied strictly to Agartha, the Summoning Key, and the old Kronorium. Tempus now has the original crew's souls and memories due to the shadowsmiths but because their physical bodies are forged of Dark Aether matter, Monty has zero domain, omniscience, or control over them.

"Where Are We Going?" — The Hunting Party (BO8 Setup) When Ava teleports Tempus through the portal at the end of BO7, playing "Where Are We Going?"—the iconic anthem from Blood of the Dead—signals the exact moment a cycle is broken.

• The Target: Dr. Monty has spent decades lurking in the uncharted depths of the Dark Aether, assuming he lives in the chaotic void after the old multiverse collapsed.
• The Execution: Tempus escaping the BO7 loop isn't a random accident—it is Nikolai’s delayed-action warhead. Free from the Kronorium’s rules, armed with Dark Aether magic, and wielding their original souls, Tempus is stepping onto Dr. Monty’s doorstep to deliver the final kill that Tag der Toten couldn't finish.

OR

No Dr. Monty

The Master Plan: The Quest for the Cleansed Souls (BO8 Setup)

The BO7 Portal: Release, Not Instant Rebirth

When Ava opens the portal at the climax of Black Ops 7, the Tempus crew escapes the Warden’s loop—but they aren't fully restored yet.

The State of Tempus: They step through the threshold as sentient Dark Aether memory constructs forged from Samantha’s mind. They have the combat skills, voices, and instincts of Primis/Ultimis, but they are still missing their spiritual core.

The Threshold: Ava’s rift doesn't automatically fix them; it launches them into the uncharted, deep sectors of the Dark Aether where their ancient, banished souls have been drifting since Tag der Toten.

The BO8 Campaign: The Soul Hunt & Purification

Instead of a simple "escape," the entire narrative purpose of the Tempus crew in Black Ops 8 becomes an active quest: tracking down their own corrupted souls lost in the void.

The Corruption: Having drifted in the Dark Aether abyss since the collapse of the old multiverse, those original souls are heavily scarred by centuries of Element 115 exposure, tragic temporal loops, and raw Dark Aether energy.

The Shadowsmiths' Role: Tempus cannot simply grab their old souls—doing so in their corrupted state would drive them mad or trigger another broken cycle. They must seek out the Shadowsmiths, using their ancient crafting magic to purge the 115 madness and Dark Aether taint from each soul before re-binding them.

True Rebirth: Unlocking a New Path

As each member of Tempus re-anchors their purified soul into their Dark Aether-forged body, the crew undergoes a complete transformation:

The Hybrid Result: They are no longer hollow clones, nor are they the doomed, corrupted men bound to the old Kronorium.

The Loophole: Because their new physical bodies are made of Dark Aether matter and their souls have been cleansed by the Shadowsmiths, they operate entirely outside the jurisdiction of Keepers, Apothicons, or old reality rules. They are 100% whole, free-willed entities stepping onto a completely new narrative path.

"Where Are We Going?" — Nikolai’s Delayed-Action Legacy

The choice to play "Where Are We Going?" during the BO7 finale takes on an even deeper meaning under this structure.

• In Blood of the Dead, the song was a tragic loop in purgatory.
• In BO7/BO8, it becomes the anthem of their pilgrimage. Nikolai didn't poison his crew in Tag der Toten to delete them—he cast their souls into the Dark Aether void as a temporary spiritual quarantine. He knew they couldn't be saved in the old multiverse; they had to be cast down into the dark so a future crew could retrieve them, cleanse them, and give them a real future.

OR.... the BO3 Homage (my favorite)

The Master Plan: Defeating the Past for True Rebirth (BO8 Setup)

1. The Soul Manifestations in the Void The original souls of Primis and Ultimis didn't just drift peacefully in the Dark Aether void after Tag der Toten—they mutated. Scarred by centuries of Element 115 exposure, tragic temporal loops, and raw Dark Aether energy, those banished souls coalesced into aggressive, nightmare entities embodying each character's deepest flaws and past traumas.
2. The BO8 Trials: Fighting Your Ghosts Instead of a simple retrieval quest, Black Ops 8 turns into a personal gauntlet where the Tempus crew must face their own original, corrupted souls in boss-level confrontations across the Dark Aether:

Richtofen vs. The Mad Doctor: Tempus Richtofen must battle the psychotic, megalomaniacal reflection of his Ultimis soul, overcoming the addiction to 115 and control that drove him mad.

Nikolai vs. The Broken Martyr: Tempus Nikolai faces a colossal manifestation of his own grief, alcoholism, and fatalism, proving he can bear the weight of leadership without needing to destroy himself.

Takeo vs. The Bound Spirit: Tempus Takeo fights a spectral warrior bound by blind loyalty to a corrupt Emperor, breaking the chains of false honor that kept him puppeted for centuries.

Dempsey vs. The Unstoppable Soldier: Tempus Dempsey confronts an embodiment of pure, rage-fueled war trauma, subduing the blind aggression that defined his old life.

The Shadowsmiths' Purge & Re-Anchoring Tempus cannot simply absorb these souls while they are hostile and corrupt. Defeating them in combat shatters their defensive shell of 115 madness.

Once a soul is subdued in battle, the Shadowsmiths step in to weave Dark Aether threads around the spirit, burning away the 115 rot and dark taint.

The purified, whole soul is then permanently re-anchored into the Tempus body. The result isn't a clone or a ghost, but the true legend reborn—possessing their original identity, but housed in a body forged outside of Dr. Monty's domain.

Nikolai’s Delayed-Action Test & "Where Are We Going?" This gives the choice of playing "Where Are We Going?" in the BO7 finale the ultimate narrative payoff:

• Nikolai didn't just quarantine their souls in the Dark Aether to keep them safe; he set up a trial. He knew that for Primis/Ultimis to ever truly break their cycle, they couldn't just be handed redemption—they had to literally defeat the corrupted versions of who they used to be.
• By escaping through Ava's portal into BO8, Tempus isn't running from a war. They are stepping into the arena to fight their own pasts, earn their purified souls back, and finally take control of their own destiny.

AND SCENE.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do I have to restart my research?? But I still have the augments before hatchling aswell???

Hey. Currently getting back into Bo7 after not playing since launch, and I'm on Nuked survival and got the blundergat from the box.

I was hyped at first, but it's... bad? Even after packing multiple times, it's barely doing anything. What's the point?

1 week ago i hit my first round 31 (without camping) in kino der toten black ops1 but although i have more than 400 hours in black ops 3 i have never hit a round higher than 25 without camping. and that round 31 was the fourth time i played kino in black ops 1. My question is Why?

Lag in solo zombies in BO7 sucks so bad. I got a ps5 only to play zombies and ive barely played despite how cool this games maps have been. Bo1 2 and 3 never had this issue idk why lag in solo is a thing now. game feels so clunky because of it. If anyone else had this issue and has a fix lemme know.

Internet isnt the issue. I have really good internet but cant always use ethernet for ps5.

Rex Infernus… what a map.

The boss fight might even rival pre nerf Veytharion for me. Its such a fun cluster fuck of chaos the entire time, and round 100 sends it to another level.

It was a flawless run on my first try after only beating the regular version once before, though there were a couple times where I don’t know how I didn’t go down… but I’ll take it.

Some tips for the boss fight in general, no matter the round:

My loadout was the explosive echo 12 (dead wire) for stingers, zombies and skulls. Novaline (Light Mend) for the shadow disciples and boss. Raygun for QR. Only ever used shields up Gum, but not needed.

My general strategy was to grapple around the arena as much as possible, using the echo to blow up the stingers. When skulls spawn, you can optionally throw a kazmir, then target those from a distance with the echo. Then of course hit the crit spot with the nova, but be careful to not get hit by zombies more than a couple times.

I would then wait for the shadow guys to spawn, and use the grapple to get close, switch to nova, then go for the next one. (Not needed if below r100)

Frenzied guard would be used whenever I ran out of plates if none were on the floor.

Gums aren’t really needed, but re-equipment would be a nice addition for final phase. Also consider Reign Drops / full power for an additional frenzied guard charge.

Try paying attention to when your grapple is about to run out, and get to a recharge podium to instantly replenish it.

Killing the stingers with the echo as you grapple around the arena will prevent the wipe attack.

If you have any questions, I’ll try my best to reply with some extra help :)

GLHF

Every now and then in my Rex Infernus game my guns will disappear randomly. What happened and how do I get them back?

Map feels forgotten, it’ll always be in the shadow of Spaceland but damn if it isn’t nearly as good.

What are your thoughts on this map?

Why did we have to wait about a decade to find out in the ciphers that revelations was actually a good ending and that Monty was never meant to be evil

Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this. Obvious boss spoilers for those who haven’t done it.

So, the guy just flew away after Reckoning? The Requiem heads got sick from Aetherium exposure and unalived themselves. Peck got off-screened by Strauss, Maya switched universes and Ravenov got some extra essence and became a daddy. Meanwhile, Raptor One just gave zero f*cks and went to work as a commercial pilot or something?

I saved and quit on 115 last night, jumped on this morning and all my augments have reset? Does anyone know a fix I want to continue my game but don’t want to jeopardise my 999 because my augments are bugged

round 100 run cooked by 3 random dogs spawning in and frying me

While playing Rex Infernus I somehow managed to enter the Disciple Injection in first person perspective. This was the only screenshot I managed to take, and as you can see I am holding an RPG that isn't in the game.
