Gong Relic Tutorial - Black Ops 7 Zombies
Field Upgrades stop charging passively. You begin with a charge, but Full Power and other forced recharge tools become the main way back.
Map: Astra Malorum | Tier: Grim | Difficulty: Easy
Cursed requirement: Cursed Mode required; no Cursed Tier required.
Portal: Outside Pack-a-Punch, left of the Gobblegum machine.
Save note: Safe, but rod-zombie progress must be repeated after loading back in.
Before you start
- Equip Tesla Storm before starting the bulb sequence.
- Put Dead Wire on a weapon before starting the bulb sequence.
Unlock steps
- Reach round 20 with Tesla Storm equipped and Dead Wire on a weapon.
- Start a fresh round and identify the rod-marked zombie.
- Check the bulb above the Pack-a-Punch doorway toward the portal, the Luminarium doorway near Juggernog, and the Machina Astralis or library doorway near the Mars path.
- Move the rod-marked zombie in front of a target bulb, trigger Tesla Storm and Dead Wire weapon damage, then kill it close to the bulb.
- Repeat the rod-marked zombie kill for all three bulbs.
- Enter the Pack-a-Punch portal after all three bulbs are charged.
Trial rules and prep
Only electric damage counts. Waves 1 and 3 build progress; wave 2 can pressure you with multiple Klaus zombies, and wave 4 can bring an Uber Klaus zombie.
- A rod-marked zombie needs to die close enough to a charged bulb for that bulb to register.
- If the rod-marked zombie dies too far away, the bulb can fail to charge and the zombie may not return that round.
- Dead Wire with Light Strike and Haste makes the bulb setup more forgiving because the electric trigger can happen on demand more often.
- Tesla Storm duration or radius augments can cover a mistake if the horde piles up while you are positioning a rod-marked zombie.
- Ping the rod-marked zombie for co-op tracking, and avoid splash damage until it is standing where you want it.
