Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's first DLC map is here with Astra Malorum, arguably one of the most outlandishly creative maps since the Black Ops 3 era of Zombies. Taking players to space in an observatory from Liberty Falls inside the Dark Aether, you can wield a new Wonder Weapon, slay the undead, and, of course, complete the Main Easter Egg Quest.

While many are jumping into Astra Malorum simply to enjoy the map and join the Easter Egg hunt, there is an extra reason to dive in. During the launch weekend of Season 1, players can unlock a series of rewards through a Zombies-exclusive event. Here is a guide to the Astra Malorum Leaderboard Event in Black Ops 7 Zombies.
