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.
How to Activate the Astra Malorum Pack-a-Punch in Black Ops 7 Zombies
Finding the Pack-a-Punch and turning on the power in Astra Malorum is a crucial step in Black Ops 7 Zombies. Here is how to do it.
How Does The Astra Malorum Leaderboard Event Work in Black Ops 7 Zombies?
The Astra Malorum works similarly to the Proving Grounds Event that ran just before Season 1, only this time the event is exclusive to Zombies. In this event, players are pitted against 29 other players in a leaderboard challenge, where they must earn points by playing Astra Malorum. Points can be earned by completing the following tasks:
- Zombie Eliminations: 1 point
- T.E.D.D. Task Completions: 50 points
- Defeat OSCAR (Elite Enemy): 100 points
- Complete the Astra Malorum Main Easter Egg Quest: 5,000 points
By earning points, players will climb the leaderboard, and their final placement will determine the rewards they unlock. A separate set of challenge rewards can also be earned immediately, without competing with other players.
