Once you enter Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, in addition to the necessary task of killing enemies to earn the final reward, there’s another very important exploration step: finding the hidden secrets and Easter eggs on each map. The one in Astra Malorum map is particularly worth looking for.
Beccause Easter egg in this map includes a brand new song by the legendary heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, which will be a very pleasant surprise for players who are fans of this genre of music. It’s worth noting that the exploration difficulty in Astra Malorum map of Black Op7 has been increased slightly.
And finding Easter eggs is also more challenging than in previous installments. Therefore, you will greatly benefit from the search guide provided here, which will help you find this special Easter egg in the shortest time and in the most convenient way.
About This Map
Before officially begin Easter egg hunt, let’s start with a brief introduction to Astra Malorum map. It’s the second round-based Zombies mode map in CoD Black Ops 7.
Upon entering, you and your teammates find yourselves trapped in an abandoned observatory floating in Saturn’s orbit, and you must complete the objectives of finding another Shadowsmith and fighting against the mysterious forces lurking there.
By the way, you can find two very important game elements on this map: Pack-a-Punch and LGM-1 Wonder Weapon. Since unlocking these two Black Ops 7 game items is a prerequisite for activating Main Easter Egg in Astra Malorum, the following methods for obtaining them are something you absolutely cannot miss.
Pack-a-Punch
After ensuring there are no zombies around that will attack you, follow the marked route in the northwest direction until you see the gate leading to Luminarium, which requires 1,250 Essence to open. Upon entering Luminarium, you will find a Harmonic Component next to a zombie corpse.
While its exact spawn location is completely random, it generally appears near the display case opposite Jugger-Nog Perk Machine and next to Electro-Volt Projector; you can try your luck in those areas.
After obtaining this important component, continue north through this area and spend 1,500 Essence to open the gate leading to Abyssal Rim. Keep walking straight until you reach the end and spend 1,750 Essence to open the door leading to Observatory Dome.
Upon entering, interact with Harmonic Oculus in the center of the room to activate the power, but it is currently broken. You will need to repair it using Harmonic Component you just found and another component, which can be found inside Machina Astralis. Finally, press the interactive button on the table to complete the repair.
Interacting with it again will officially power it on, which will initiate the lockdown procedure. Several zombie enemies will then appear and attack it, and you need to protect it for 45 seconds. If you fail to defend, it will enter a cooldown state, and you will have to wait until the next round to try again.
After successfully defending the area, Pack-a-Punch machine will appear, and you can find it opposite Harmonic Oculus.
LGM-1 Wonder Weapon
Now that you’ve restored power and unlocked Pack-a-Punch machine, the next step is to obtain LGM-1 Wonder Weapon. This requires you to collect four unique items: Damaged Drone, Car Battery, Absolute Zero Fragments, and Aberrant Wiring. The order in which you collect them doesn’t matter.
- Damaged Drone: This requires you to shoot O.S.C.A.R. and destroy the small UFO drones flying around it. After destroying them, pick up the damaged drone that appears on the ground. Please note: do not kill this mini-boss, as we will need it for subsequent steps.
- Car Battery: You need to go to Crash Site and shoot the hood of Ol’ Tessie with a Pack-a-Punched weapon. After a certain amount of damage, the car battery will fall out.
- Absolute Zero Fragments: Before you begin, you’ll need to spend 500 Salvage in Arsenal to obtain Cyro Freeze Ammo Mod, which will help you locate and shoot three glowing purple crystals.
- Aberrant Wiring: Tou need to find a flashing streetlamp in one of the many outdoor areas on the map and shoot it with a Pack-a-Punched weapon.
After you have collected all four items, you can proceed to Observatory Dome, Luminarium, and Museum Infinitum to defeat O.S.C.A.R. in three different ways, still without any specific order required. Once you complete the challenge, you will receive LGM-1 Wonder Weapon.
Unlock Easter Egg | Locations Of 3 Headphones
After entering the main Easter egg area, you can begin searching for the three headphones needed to activate it and interact with them in sequence. You can find 3 headphones needed for this Easter Egg by following these directions:
1st: This one is located in the northeast corner of Luminarium, hidden in the corner of the bottom shelf of an empty bookshelf.
2nd: This one is located on the ground floor of Machina Astralis building, specifically hidden in a display case near the southwest wall, to the right of the door leading to Cryo Chamber.
3rd: The last headset requires you to first complete step seven of Main Quest Easter Egg - arranging the planets on that map. After being teleported to Mars, you can find it on the ground, to the right of the northeast window, among some rocks and rubble.
After you interact with the third headset, the song Magic by Avenged Sevenfold will start playing. Don’t worry, this won’t attract other players or zombie enemies, so feel free to enjoy it!
