Survival maps & DOA — Black Ops 7 Zombies Easter Egg Guide

The debut Survival arena — the Ashes of the Damned farmyard. A compact barn-and-yard loop: hold the barn interior with its single main doorway and train the horde into one lane, keeping the nearest wall weapon for cheap ammo. Der Wunderfizz, Mystery Box and Arsenal are present, and Pack-a-Punch is added in for Survival. Cursed mode layers on modifiers (tougher elites, altered drops).

More Ashes of the Damned POIs as standalone arenas — the Ashwood town core, the Exit 115 roadside diner and the Zarya Cosmodrome interior. Each is a tight kill-box: pick the room with two exits you can pinch down to one, buy the closest wall weapon for ammo economy, and rotate to the map's trap when a Cursed elite wave lands.

Arenas carved from Paradox Junction (Nuked = the destroyed-timeline Nuketown) and Astra Malorum (Mars). Nuked's cul-de-sac funnels well from a backyard corner; Mars uses the observatory's raised walkways to break line of sight. Standard Survival machine set (Wunderfizz, Box, Arsenal, trap, added PaP).

A permanent roguelite mode — random-pistol starts, one pedestal reward per round, HVT bosses across five playlists for permanent unlocks. Full pedestal-synergy breakdown on the dedicated Rogue Run guide.

The top-down twin-stick arcade mode — score-multiplier kill chains, hidden exits and bonus rooms. Full rundown on the dedicated Dead Ops Arcade 4 guide.

Survival, Rogue Run and DOA all use the standard round-based power-up pool dropped by kills — Max Ammo, Nuke, Insta-Kill, Double Points, Full Power and Bonus Points. There are no fixed or pre-placed hidden power-ups on these maps; every drop is a random kill reward, so there is nothing hidden to hunt for.

Starting Room locks you into a map's spawn area: every door sealed, no exfil, and no Pack-a-Punch, armour vests or perk machines beyond whatever that room happens to contain. Every Starting Room does include a GobbleGum machine, which is the whole trick to the mode — perks and Pack-a-Punch effects have to be forced in through gums. The objective is simply the highest round, and reward milestones stop at Round 50.

XP is 1,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 at the three milestones on every map. The reward sets are map-specific, so do not assume one map's list carries to another.

A confined section of the Totenreich round-based map — Beacon Island and the Lighthouse. Fights are unusually vertical, on icy cliffs, and Pack-a-Punch is reached by climbing the lighthouse stairs rather than being dropped in. The signature defence is the Flammenfalle fire trap.

Confirmed rewards: R10 ‘Valhallan’ Animated Emblem (1,000 XP) · R25 ‘Eidskallen's Light’ Weapon Charm (2,500 XP) · R50 ‘Gift Card’ GobbleGum (5,000 XP).

There is also a rotating Eidskallen Leaderboard Event — three-hour leaderboards on this map awarding the ‘Harbinger’ and ‘Ragnarök’ Universal Camos, an Emblem, a Weapon Charm and the ‘Wake Up Call’ DS20 Mirage Blueprint.

Every Survival map awards permanent rewards on first completion of Rounds 10, 25 and 50: typically an Emblem at 10, a Weapon Charm at 25 and a GobbleGum at 50, plus 1,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 XP. Cursed Survival variants shift the milestones to Rounds 25 / 50 / 75 across Tiers 1–3, with Ultra GobbleGum and Charm rewards.

Eidskallen Lighthouse's set is published in full (above). For the six earlier maps — Vandorn Farm, Exit 115, Zarya Cosmodrome, Mars, Ashwood and Nuked — Treyarch only publishes reward names season by season, so the full per-map lists are not officially documented. The one confirmed example is Nuked: ‘Population: Just You’ Animated Emblem and ‘Dead End’ Weapon Charm. We would rather leave the rest blank than guess them.
