BO7 Zombies has basically hijacked my holiday break. I jumped in "just for a quick match" and suddenly it's 2 a.m. again. The Christmas update cranks up the pressure in a way that feels fun and rude at the same time, especially when you're looping Liberty Falls or trying not to get boxed in on Terminus. The new Santa Manglers don't play nice, and those holiday Vermin have a nasty habit of showing up right when your mag's empty. If you're trying to skip Augments, you'll feel it fast. If you're trying to speed up your setup, CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies for sale might be worth a look, because the grind after the patch can be a lot.

1) Weapon Augments That Actually Save Runs

Most squads I run with have figured out one thing: control matters more than raw damage right now. Cryo Rounds on an AR or SMG gives you breathing room when the map gets loud. Freeze a chunk of the train, cut an angle, reload, move. Simple. If you're the one holding the lane or watching the back, it's hard to beat. For boss pressure, Napalm Burst on an LMG is still the "fine, I'll do it myself" option. The burn stacks up while you keep laying down fire, and it helps when bosses crash the party mid-objective. I've had rounds where Cryo kept us alive, and Napalm kept the boss from turning into a ten-minute tax.

2) Perk Augments That Feel Like Cheating

People love arguing perks, but the Christmas waves settle the debate pretty quick. Medic's Touch on Quick Revive is huge in co-op. You pick someone up and you're not instantly deleted for being kind, which is usually how Zombies goes. For movement, Endurance Rush on Stamin-Up fits this update perfectly because you're sprinting constantly anyway. You'll notice it most when a Mangler spawns and the whole team suddenly remembers cardio. And yeah, Iron Skin on Jugger-Nog is non-negotiable if you're eating explosive splash from event enemies. Without it, one messy corner can turn into a full reset.

3) Field Upgrades And Play Habits For The Holiday Chaos

Field upgrades aren't just a panic button now; they're part of your loop. Spectral Burst on Aether Shroud is the cleanest "get out of jail" tool when you're grabbing event crates or getting pinched in those tight Terminus corridors. Pop it, stun the pile, reposition, and don't get greedy. The other piece is habit: stop fighting every wave where it spawns. Drag it somewhere you can see. Keep one exit. Let your Augments do their job instead of trying to hero-beam everything down in a doorway.

4) Getting Ready For High Rounds Without Losing Your Weekend

Once you've got the core pieces, the whole mode clicks again. You're not just reacting, you're setting traps with Cryo, cooking bosses with Napalm, and using Shroud to steal space when the map runs out of it. That's when high rounds start feeling earned instead of random. And if you're stuck doing the same farm loops just to unlock what you want, RSVSR can help cut down the boring part so you can spend your time on the builds and the chaos that made you queue up in the first place.
