(Spoiler-free, gameplay-focused, and co-op friendly)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launched yesterday, and its campaign structure stands out immediately. Every mission is designed to work both solo and in co-op, which means pacing, enemy placement, and level flow are all built around teamwork and environmental awareness.
Below is a full breakdown of all 11 campaign missions, including atmosphere notes and practical gameplay tips for each.
1. Exposure (Avalon – Intro Mission)
The campaign opens with a straightforward introduction to movement, breaching, and team mechanics.
Tip: Silent entries make this mission dramatically easier, use them.
2. Inside (Avalon – Interior Complex)
Tight hallways, sharp corners, and aggressive enemy placements dominate this mission.
Tip: Stick with fast-handling weapons; you’ll get boxed in if you’re slow.
3. Distortion (Angola – Dense Wilderness)
A shift from claustrophobic interiors to wide, fog-covered outdoor areas.
Tip: Thermal optics are incredibly strong here due to low visibility.
4. Escalation (Avalon – Rising Conflict)
Enemy numbers ramp up noticeably, with more coordinated pushes.
Tip: Use your squad’s abilities; this is the first mission where teamwork really matters.
5. Disruption (Tokyo Bay – High-Tech Combat Zone)
Vertical traversal and environmental hazards take center stage.
Tip: Most electronic panels can be hacked to scatter patrols or open safer routes.
6. Collapse (Avalon – Structural Failure)
This is the first mission with dynamic destruction. Ceilings, floors, and walls can collapse mid-fight.
Tip: Keep moving, staying still is the biggest mistake you can make here.
7. Fracture (Los Angeles – Urban Warfare)
Fast pacing, vehicular transitions, and plenty of rooftop combat.
Tip: Gaining elevation is crucial; many encounters are easier from above.
8. Quarantine (Avalon – Restricted Zone)
A darker, more atmospheric mission that mixes stealth with sudden close-quarters engagements.
Tip: Flashbangs are practically mandatory here. Bring extras.
9. Suppression (SSR – Vorkuta)
A freezing, snow-covered battlefield where ammo conservation matters more than usual.
Tip: Recoil increases in cold environments; control your bursts, don’t spray.
10. Breakpoint (Avalon – Pre-Final Build-Up)
A preparation mission that sets up the endgame emotionally and mechanically.
Tip: The equipment you find here carries into the final mission, so explore thoroughly.
11. Containment (Avalon – Final Mission)
A multi-phase finale with shifting enemy waves and environmental changes.
Tip: Cover positions and enemy spawns may shift between retries, adapt quickly.
Finishing all 11 missions unlocks Endgame Mode, a 32-player PvE extraction challenge that puts everything you learned in the campaign to the test. Co-op runs make this even more intense: enemy health and aggression scale with squad size, and certain missions open new routes that only appear when playing with multiple players. This is felt most in Collapse and Containment, where heavier waves and active flanks can overwhelm teams that don’t communicate.
Black Ops 7’s campaign may seem straightforward at first, but its co-op variations, adaptive encounters, and Endgame depth turn it into something worth replaying. Whether you’re running solo or with a full squad, there’s far more going on beneath the surface than it first appears.
