Rocket Relic Tutorial - Black Ops 7 Zombies
Scorestreaks cannot be used.
Map: Paradox Junction | Tier: Grim | Difficulty: Medium
Cursed requirement: Cursed Mode required; no Cursed Tier required.
Portal: Past Nuketown, upstairs in Green House while facing south.
Save note: Unsafe; pet progress does not persist cleanly.
Unlock steps
- Before round 20, use past Nuketown to turn a Rad Hound zombie friendly and pet it.
- On round 20, move to destroyed or future Nuketown and deploy a D.A.W.G. scorestreak.
- Put the D.A.W.G. in a stable position, save a zombie, and pet it as the round state resolves so the interaction registers.
- Enter the Green House portal after both pet interactions register.
Trial rules and prep
Zombies only take meaningful damage from their elemental weaknesses. Waves 1 and 3 build progress; HVT zombie waves usually mix Rad Hound zombies, Doppelghasts, and Mimics.
- Psych Grenades are the cleanest way to make the friendly Rad Hound zombie pet window predictable.
- Look directly at the pet target during the interact prompt. Side angles can miss the prompt and waste the round setup.
- Do the Rad Hound zombie and D.A.W.G. steps in one run; pet progress is not a save-safe chain.
- Carry separate ammo mods instead of relying on one weapon: Shadow Rift for toxic zombies, Light Mend for Doppelghasts, and Brain Rot for Mimics.
- Golden Armor, a self-revive, and Aether Shroud give the trial room for mistakes when the wrong weakness is in front of you.
- Do not spend the whole trial swapping blindly. Identify the HVT zombie, then commit the weapon that matches its weakness.
