💥 A New Win/Kill Streak System
A new feature exclusive to Black Ops 7 is the new win streak and kill streak reward systems. Win streaks in particular is one that has the most players curious. According to the patch notes, the developers have been experimenting with the idea of this feature for a while now. A lot of the challenges they place are meant to add a difficulty spike for veteran players, especially those with a more competitive edge to them.

Depending on the win streak you earn in either Battle Royale or the Resurgence modes, you’ll unlike special camos for your weapons. These are entirely optional to complete and will always be around, but it’s something worth bragging to friends about for sure. These challenges range from getting a 10 to 50 win streak, and your current streak will always be viewable by other players in the lobby.
As for the kill streaks, there’s a new tool that you can use called the Deadeye Drone. This drone is equipped with a small Sniper Rifle that can deal 50 damage per shot, but each drone only has 10 bullets. This drone can only be used through Care Packages, so they’re meant to be utilized wisely. They don’t seem like much at first, but they’re meant to add more pressure during matches.
💰 Some Loot & Economy Changes
Several loot and economy changes have also been made as listed in the patch notes. Some of these are pretty major, so pay attention! When looking at the General Loot changes, UAVs have been removed from all chest loot, and the new Deadeye Drones have been added to Care Packages. There’s also some new lootable perks that can be equipped chests and contracts.
Finally, there’s the Weapon Loot pool. This pool basically determines what weapons you can loot anywhere during a match. Both the X9 Maverick AR and the RK-9 SMG have been unfortunately removed from the pool. However, the Sokol 545 LMG will be replacing the XM325 LMG as loot.
There’s also the new Ground Loot Weapon Builds and changes that have been added too. All of these builds revolve around how a weapon is customized. For example, a gun could have its muzzle changed which affects how its shot and how the ammo spreads. The most notable are the Peacekeeper MK1, MXR-17, and the M15 Mod 0 who’ve each had their muzzles changed.
💵 Buy Stations
Only one minor change and a major addition have been made to the Buy Stations. For one, the Counter UAVs have had their prices reduced from $4,000 to $2,000 in-game. This makes them a whole lot easier to get especially in earlier Warzones rounds. Meanwhile, gas masks have been added to the Buy Stations $4,000, specifically for the Battle Royale and Resurgence modes.
The gas mask was added in previous Warzone modes and games as a way for players to protect themselves from, well, gases! However, this time around, the gas mask doesn’t add nearly as much protection time as before. According to the developers in the patch notes, the gas mask usage will be limited despite the higher price. This might not be great news for players, but we’ll just have to see how they actually work.
📜 Contracts
Contracts have also gotten a few changes that might throw some players off. For example, Recon contracts have had team capture rates adjusted. Capture rate bonuses in particular were seen as a bit too low for the devs’ liking. Now, the rates have been increased to a whopping 150%! This is further increased by another 100% if every live teammate is in the capture point.
Most Wanted Contracts has seen the most changes and updates by far. Whenever you complete a Most Wanted mission now, you’ll receive a Supply Box almost immediately. In there, you’ll get a gas mask, Ghost Perk, a Blue or Purple rarity weapon, and a stack of in-game cash. Also, killing an enemy while on the Most Wanted squad will reduce the remaining time by 30 seconds instead of 25. Opening Caches also now decreases time by 12 seconds.
The last changes are much more minor for both Bounty and Scavenger Contracts. For Bounty, the circle update intervals have been reduced from 10 seconds down to 8 seconds. Then in Scavenger, the final crate that you open will now always guarantee a Tracker Perk. The Armor Satchel will also drop continuously from the final cache too.
