BO7's Hardest Trophies: What Actually Blocks You

Black Ops 7 spreads its trophies across Campaign, Co-Op Endgame, Zombies, Dead Ops Arcade, and Multiplayer, and the hardest ones are execution walls rather than grind walls. Independent roadmaps rate the full completion around 6/10 difficulty and 40–70 hours. There are no missable trophies — mission select and repeatable modes keep every requirement available — but several need specific setups so you don’t burn a run. This guide focuses on the trophies that actually trip people up.

One platform note up front: the separate Platinum trophy only exists on the PS4 version. The native PS5 add-on list has 50 trophies and no Platinum, so if you’re chasing The Future Is Now, play the PS4 build through backward compatibility.

Reunited with Fidolina (Dead Ops Arcade endurance)

Defeat Papaback in Dead Ops Arcade. This is the main endurance test: use Casual difficulty, preserve lives, nukes, and defensive pickups for the later rounds, and use the Room of Fate when you reach it. Save-and-quit can split the run into sessions, so you don’t have to do it in one sitting. Forever Fated (reach the Room of Fate) and Fowl Five Piece (a 5-chicken chain) are the other two DOA requirements.

Dust to Dust and Expert Curator (Zombies main quest + Relics)

Dust to Dust completes the Ashes of the Damned main Easter egg — run Directed Mode for it, bring upgraded armor, Pack-a-Punched weapons, and a self-revive. Expert Curator then needs three Relic challenges on that same map; host or join a Cursed Mode run and clear three of the nine Relic trials. Our Ashes of the Damned guide covers the quest path and the Relics guide covers the trials.

Farsight (Gravemaker execution)

Earn three kills from a single Gravemaker activation. Build score bonuses to reach Gravemaker faster, then activate it from cover on a compact objective map and confirm three kills before it expires — go for kills, not assists. There are isolated failed-unlock reports for this one, so if the tracker doesn’t pop, finish the match, retry in a fresh public match after restarting the game.

Turbocharged (Endgame Combat Rating)

Reach maximum Combat Rating in the Co-Op Endgame mode, then exfil to bank it. If you bleed out or leave without exfiltrating, your rating can reset toward Level 1; a disconnect only restores your starting rating, so the extraction is what saves the gain. Run assignments suited to your rating and improve armor and weapon rarity before pushing into Zone IV.

Corpse Aplenty (10,000 Zombie eliminations)

A pure cumulative grind — 10,000 Zombie kills. Because it’s repeatable, most other Zombies objectives (round rewards, Relic challenges, Augment and GobbleGum tasks) progress during the same sessions, so start Zombies early instead of saving it for cleanup.

The Multiplayer wall (Destroyer, Frontline Offensive, New Dynasty, Maximum Overdrive)

• Destroyer — 1,000 Multiplayer eliminations.
• Frontline Offensive — win 25 Multiplayer matches.
• New Dynasty — reach Account Prestige (Level 55).
• Maximum Overdrive — equip an Overclock on a Lethal, a Tactical, a Field Upgrade, and three Scorestreaks at the same time. The Overclock system and which equipment it applies to are detailed in our BO7 Overclock guide.

This Is My Rifle (one Arclight, Moonstone, or Bloodstone mastery camo) and Master of Arms (Weapon Prestige any weapon) overlap with the camo and prestige grinds, so the same weapon progress feeds several trophies at once — the BO7 Weapon Prestige guide explains how to bank that progress efficiently.

Practical order

Knock out the Campaign and Co-Op Intel early, then Zombies (main quest → Relics → 10k kills), then Dead Ops Arcade in one or two dedicated sessions, and finish with the Multiplayer grinds where wins, eliminations, medals, and Scorestreaks stack naturally in objective modes. Save equipment-specific tasks for controlled attempts rather than hoping they happen in matchmaking.
