Anyone can chase kills in Black Ops 7, but the moment you actually jump on the objective, the game changes. Grenades rain in, teammates spawn out, and you're suddenly the only thing between a win and a wipe. Even if you're just warming up in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby, you'll feel how fast a Hardpoint or Dom match turns into a blender when the point is contested.

1) Build For Explosives First

Start with Flak Jacket. It's not "nice to have," it's the difference between holding B for three extra seconds and instantly eating a Semtex. People don't throw one nade at the hill. They throw three. Sometimes four. Flak Jacket buys you those tiny windows where you can re-challenge, finish a gunfight, or just stay alive long enough to force a rotation.

2) Keep Your Hands Moving

Then stack your speed where it matters. Fast Hands is the perk you stop noticing until you take it off and everything feels slow. Weapon swaps, reload timing, tossing equipment without getting stuck in an animation—those little moments decide fights on the point. Pair it with Dexterity so your sprint-outs and mantles don't feel like a punishment. You'll find you can slide in, snap to cover, and still be ready to shoot instead of standing there like you're waiting for a bus.

3) Win The Info Game

If the lobby is full of players pre-aiming lanes, don't feed them. Ninja helps you cross noisy routes without broadcasting your plan, and Ghost makes your flanks stick when UAVs start chaining. A lot of players run straight through mid, die, and call it "bad luck." It isn't. It's predictable. Go quiet, hit the back, and suddenly you're the one choosing the fight.

4) Don't Let Ammo Break Your Hold

Objective streaks die for dumb reasons, and running out of bullets is one of the dumbest. Scavenger fixes that without forcing you to grab some random floor gun with a wonky sight. When you're anchoring a lane or locking a doorway, you want the same weapon feel every time. Consistency is comfort, and comfort is control.

5) Field Upgrades And Wildcards Matter

Your perks keep you alive, but your setup keeps the hill stable. Gearhead is huge when you're leaning on a Trophy System to stop the usual nade spam, and Looper helps you keep scorestreak momentum rolling when you're playing aggressive. If you can run Perk Greed, do it—stack survival with stealth so you're not forced into one personality all match.

6) Play The Lobby You've Got

Some games need you to be the tank who soaks damage and lives on the point. Other games need you slipping through the side door, flipping spawns, and making the other team chase shadows. Swap perks between rounds, change your pace, and pay attention to what's actually killing you. If you're practicing routes or testing perk combos, a few reps in Bot Lobbies BO7 can help you lock in habits that hold up when the match gets messy.
