Black Ops 7 Season 03: Endgame Content

Endgame Goes Free to Play (Launch)

Calling all Operators! Season 03 marks the beginning of Endgame as a free to play game mode for a limited time, accessible from the main Call of Duty menu and within Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 7. Invite your squad and recruit other players into the action. As a co-operative PvE mode, Endgame is the perfect entry for newcomers and returning Black Ops veterans alike.

Bringing Avalon to Call of Duty: Warzone through Black Ops Royale, players were introduced a new way to engage with the Black Ops universe. Now, for a limited time, Endgame is also coming to Call of Duty: Warzone!

For newcomers, Endgame is a co-op PvE experience focused on squad-based runs, boss encounters, and repeatable challenges. Players push through combat spaces together, taking on increasingly difficult encounters across each run. Progression systems like Exotic weapons and Nightmare skills unlock through gameplay and expand your options over time, adding depth as you continue playing.

Players can earn XP, complete challenges, and unlock rewards tied to ongoing seasonal updates.

For a limited time, the full Endgame experience (not including the Co-Op Campaign) is available directly within Call of Duty: Warzone. Learn more about Endgame.

Endgame Season 03 Content Overview

As Season 03 adds further challenges and rewards across Avalon, including the introduction of Operation Poison Pill, now's the time to grow the ranks and push the attack. Players will continue to progress and earn XP as normal while playing Endgame, tied into the same leveling journey across all four modes.

By default, players who do not own Black Ops 7 will begin their Endgame journey with four Operators to choose from: Mason, Anderson, 50/50, and Samuels.

Loadout Updates

Starting in Season 03, Endgame Loadouts will be individually assigned to each Operator, so that each separate Endgame Operator has their own Loadout including Weapons, Field Acquisitions, and Equipment. Operators who exfil with a Scorestreak or Self Revive will also save those items for the next deployment. This change provides more customization options, as players can now find and equip a unique Exotic Weapon for every Operator and craft builds that are unique for each fighter.

For players who have already experienced Endgame, your existing Loadout will automatically be assigned to your active Operator. All other Operators will start with a default Loadout.

Reset Combat Rating: Players may optionally reset an Operator's Combat Rating to 0 if they want to start fresh with a new Operator Build. This will not affect the Operator's Loadout, as Weapons, Equipment and rarity are preserved. Note that resetting the Combat Rating will also discard Exotic and Nightmare skills.

Reset Skill Track: Once you've fully progressed an Operator's Combat Rating by unlocking all Power Upgrades and Skills, you may choose to reset one of your Skill Tracks. Resetting a Skill Track removes all associated Skills and reduces the Operator's Combat Rating by 16 to reflect the lost power.

The next time you increase your Power, you'll be offered two new Skill Tracks to choose from, giving you greater flexibility to shape an Operator build that better fits your playstyle.

Updated Loss Rules

As Endgame content becomes more dangerous with Glitches, Guild Strikes, and Nightmare Difficulty zones, the loss rules have been updated to limit how much Combat Rating (CR) players can lose from Skills and Power Upgrades.

If a player or squad is wiped, the total Combat Rating lost from earned Skills and Power Upgrades is capped at 15 CR. This means players can lose no more than 15 CR of progression per wipe.

Nightmare Skills and Exotic Skills are still fully lost, and the player's Loadout is reset. Because these Skills contribute to total Combat Rating, their removal will also reduce CR accordingly.
