The Fastest Routes Through Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 Week 1
Players only need six objectives to earn the Jäger 45 Grid‑Breaker Kit and 10,000 bonus XP, with challenges available across four game modes.
Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 Week 1 has six challenges in each of four categories: Multiplayer, Warzone, Zombies, and Co-op and Endgame. You only need to finish six challenges total to earn the Jäger 45 Grid‑Breaker Kit and 10,000 bonus XP.
Every objective also grants its own XP reward. The challenge tracks count toward Season 5’s universal camo rewards, so choosing objectives from the modes you already play can save plenty of time.
Multiplayer challenges
| Challenge | Reward | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Get 50 Objective Kills | 5,000 XP | Play Hardpoint, Domination, or Overload and take fights directly around the objective. |
| With the Overkill Wildcard equipped: get 150 Eliminations with a Primary Weapon equipped to your Secondary Loadout Slot | 5,000 XP | Equip Overkill, place an assault rifle, SMG, or LMG in the secondary slot, and use that weapon as your main choice. |
| Get 30 Kills with a Weapon while or shortly after sprinting | 3,500 XP | Use a mobile SMG or shotgun. Sprint or slide into fights, then fire as soon as the sprint ends. |
| Kill 3 or more enemies with a single Scorestreak 2 times | 3,500 XP | Equip an area-damage streak such as Hellstorm, Deadeye Drone, or VTOL. Save it for crowded lanes and objectives. |
| Finish a match having more Kills against your Nemesis than they have against you | 2,500 XP | Watch the Nemesis indicator and play around that opponent’s usual lane. Once the rivalry starts, take more measured fights. |
| Earn 5 Revenge Medals (killed the enemy that killed you last) | 2,500 XP | After each death, look for the same player and win the rematch. Objective modes provide plenty of chances to do this. |
Warzone challenges
| Challenge | Reward | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Complete 3 Big Game Bounty Contracts | 5,000 XP | Land near Big Game Bounty icons, activate the contracts quickly, and chase the marked HVTs with your squad. UAVs, vehicles, and killstreaks can make each pursuit safer. |
| Activate 5 UAV Killstreaks | 5,000 XP | Buy UAVs from Buy Stations or find them in crates, then activate them before pushing fights. Standard Battle Royale and Resurgence matches should provide enough opportunities. |
| Get 2 Kills without dying 5 times | 3,500 XP | Focus on short two-kill streaks. Take controlled engagements, reposition after each pair of eliminations, and avoid charging into full squads. |
| Get 10 Eliminations with Pistols | 3,500 XP | Use pistols immediately after landing or as close-range backups. Busy POIs offer quick opportunities to finish downed players with a pistol. |
| Complete 5 Supply Run Contracts | 2,500 XP | Pick up Supply Run contracts during the middle portion of a match, then reach the highlighted Buy Station to finish each one. |
| Get 5 Headshots | 2,500 XP | Choose a steady AR, LMG, or sniper and keep your crosshair at head level. Fight at ranges where you can line up accurate shots. |
Zombies challenges
| Challenge | Reward | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Get 50 Kills during a single T.E.D.D. Task on Lighthouse Survival 5 times | 5,000 XP | Load into Lighthouse Survival and accept T.E.D.D. Tasks when they appear. Pull large groups into a kill zone and defeat 50 Zombies during each task. |
| Get 750 Eliminations using Epic or higher Rarity Wall Buy Weapons | 5,000 XP | Purchase or upgrade Wall Buy weapons to Epic rarity or higher, then use them for most of your eliminations during long runs. |
| Kill 5 Zombies rapidly with PHD Flopper explosions 15 times | 3,500 XP | Equip PHD Flopper, gather a dense group, and dive into the pack. Each blast needs at least five rapid kills, repeated 15 times. |
| Complete 5 Special Rounds | 3,500 XP | Play your preferred Zombies mode until Special Rounds appear, then survive five of them across your sessions. |
| Complete 15 Rounds on Kowakujō | 2,500 XP | Load into Kowakujō and survive through Round 15. Safe routes and early perk and weapon upgrades are more useful than risky plays. |
| Earn 10 Carnage Medals (Killed 15 Zombies rapidly with a Weapon) | 2,500 XP | Group Zombies together and use a high-damage weapon to defeat at least 15 in quick succession. Repeat until you have 10 Carnage Medals. |
Co-op and Endgame challenges
| Challenge | Reward | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| In Endgame: complete 30 Activities or Assignments | 5,000 XP | Queue for Endgame and accept most Activities or Assignments you encounter. Prioritize finishing them over rushing through the run. |
| Get 500 Eliminations | 5,000 XP | Stay in dense combat areas during longer Endgame runs to build the elimination count. |
| Get 35 Kills with the Needle Drone or Point Turret Equipment | 3,500 XP | Equip either the Needle Drone or Point Turret and deploy it where enemies funnel through a chokepoint. |
| In Endgame: clear a Toxin Field or Toxin Source 3 times | 3,500 XP | Direct the squad toward Toxin Field or Toxin Source icons and complete three of those encounters across your runs. |
| In Endgame: complete an Assignment or Activity in the Nightmare Zone | 2,500 XP | Push the run into the Nightmare Zone, then finish at least one Assignment or Activity there. |
| In Endgame: complete the Burn Run Assignment | 2,500 XP | Accept the Burn Run Assignment when it appears and finish the activity. |
Week 1 reward
The six-challenge reward is the Jäger 45 Grid‑Breaker Kit, a barrel attachment that turns the Jäger 45 into a recharging EMP device. It improves movement speed, fires a localized blast that deals minor damage, and disrupts enemy electronics.
Week 1 rewards also count toward Season 5’s universal camo track. Murder unlocks after earning any four weekly rewards, while Nectar requires all eight weekly rewards from the season.
When do the weekly challenges reset?
New challenge sets unlock every Thursday at 11 a.m. CT. Each set remains available through the end of the season, giving players time to finish objectives across different modes.
Multiplayer players can reach six completed objectives quickly by combining the objective-kill, Overkill, sprint-kill, and Revenge Medal tasks. Warzone players can pair contracts and UAV activations with pistol eliminations or headshots. Zombies and Endgame players have their own longer grinds, but those categories can be efficient if you already spend most of your time there.
