Things You Need to Do First in Ashes of the Damned (BO7 Zombies)

Ashes of the Damned is an expansive Zombies map in Black Ops 7, so if you want to get the best start possible, see our step-by-step below.

How to Get the Good Soldiers Trophy in Black Ops 7 Zombies

In order to get the Good Soldiers achievement, you must first be playing as Dempsey as your Operator. With Dempsey as your Operator of choice, it's time to load into the Ashes of the Damned Zombies map. You'll need to first grab Ol' Tessie and then make your way to Ashwood. After clearing Ashwood and making the further areas available to you, you will be able to crash through the southeast gate that takes you to the Zarya Cosmodrome. In the area from Ahwood that leads to Zarya Cosmodrome, titled Crashed Rocket, take a detour to the right, where you will find some corpses, and to the right of them is a crashed rocket part. Use the interact button (hold reload) to immediately begin a cutscene in which Dempsey picks up the dog tags and is teleported into another area. Inside this area, you will need to follow the black floating orb and kill the zombies that spawn. After the third time of following the orb, you will become a Disciple, then spawn back at the Cursed Rocket, where you will receive random loot, like Salvage, Essence, and perhaps a Legendary weapon/scorestreak.

We've showcased where you can find the dog tags in the images above!
