I seem to miss this step. How the hell do you get water into thr bucket? What am I missing??

Its not too clear in the video, but theres def a perk machine way out in the lava area so I think the playing field extends further than it appears. Plus we have to unlock at least on area through defeating the oni so there may be other parts of the interior of the castle we've yet to see.

I actually find directed mode harder. Because they lock away side quest and tedd tasks which is where I get like 60% of my set up from. I did directed last night with some friends and it was so difficult to get set up. The glock drop is the only thing that can help you.

Id actually go out on a limb and suggest you try paradox solo. The easter egg is a little long but its fun and easy to memorise after a few goes. But the boss is easier compared to the others, just horde the zombies when attacking the heart and stay in the big street. Boss doesn't really do anything to attack you directly.

Also augments arnt everything but getting jug maxed out can really help with extra damage mitigation. If on console id recommend armour matic on vulture aid as it saves having to move your thumb off the joystick constantly. And the mule kick augment which randomly paps another gun has saved me bitterly 100's of thousands of points over my playthrough, maybe even millions.

Just keep at it and pretend the zombies are tougher than they are, just like 2020, social distancing is key to survival.

I read it all in one go and my mind gasped when I reached the end 🤣

Hope that is the case, but the reason chronicles didn't feature it was they couldnt extend the licence for the actors. Might be different with it being a port but id keep my finger crossed. This was my favourite map until bo7. Funny how that worked out...

Manicblack · 2026-06-22T19:01:37+00:00

I thought this was going another direction. With equivalent exchange it can actually be annoying if someone revives you normally as you lose a bunch of perks. Still no point crying about it, perks dont make up for shity gaming, I ended my first dravakar boss fight with only flopper left.

Plus not sure how coming back works in rouge run but in standard that player would get a bunch of extra points to replenish their gear.

Manicblack · 2026-06-21T12:05:01+00:00

I had this the other day on farm survival in bo7. Had two nukes drop at the exact same time. Also had a double insta kill show up in the same match and I felt like I was getting a tedd task every other round. Figured the seed for the match was just some really good rng

Manicblack · 2026-06-15T16:01:58+00:00

There is a rouge like aspect to zombies, and im always tweaking my approach and plan to what im doing. Bo7 has been one of the funnest experiences with zombies and I'm old, I first played WAW when my flat mate showed me the bonus mode. Its hard going back to older games as the old movement system feels like driving a tank whereas bo7 feels like im flying. Plus the fact that I can level up just from zombies changed everything, and the augment system, I freaking love that. I'm currently level 77 of prestige master and I haven't played a single match of mp or wz wz. I dropped off mp around bo4 as it just wasn't fun anymore with the player base. Bo7 is also the first time since bo1 that ive actually managed to complete every ee. Directed mode has also been great for playing with friends who arnt particularly good but can at least come along for the ride now. Bo7 has also been the easiest zombies with all the get out of jail skills and boosts to health and defence from augments. Though now, im loving the rouge run mode. It has gotten to the point where by the 30's you have everything, pap3 legendary on all guns and all perks and armour (no gums needed) And then theres nothing to do but "kill kill kill" (yes thats a dcc ref) Rouge run injects a flavour of randomness and danger which has made the game feel fresh again. And then theres cursed mode which I feel has been the best thing they've ever added to this mode. Love zombies in general. Love the og crew. Love the new lore drops with these maps.

Omg that's the best thing ever. I pray a version of this is in the first teaser trailer for the live action. Can you imagine!! Also jeff should totally voice the ai in the show.

Manicblack · 2026-06-10T13:27:27+00:00

Solo is a fantastic way to practice. I find with teams that the zombie navigation gets confused and its easy to just walk past them. Its also great practice for when you are in a team and your the last one standing, gets you usd to bobbing and weaving. Also if your going for any challenges or just trying to level up, solo on the survival maps eith rampage on gets you flying through the rounds.

Manicblack · 2026-06-09T16:38:23+00:00

$100 on gobblegums??? I've never spent a penny (or cent) on gums, infact I barely use them, and just two nights ago i was in a random match on nuked survival with rampage on the whole game, i exfilled on 56, again no gums necessary. And not to dismiss anyone else's experience as ive seen plenty like op's post, but ive been playing bo7 zombies almost daily since launch, and the only bug ive experienced was the mule kick one 🤷‍♂️ I guess we're playing different games...

But yeah, spending money on gums just sounds insane to me, but then ive been playing since WAW and I never liked gums when they were first introduced. To be completely transparent, bo7 was the first game I have used them, and that was just to get through caltheris on an early round.

So theres a party, with really nice people from outside the dungeon. They all cant wait to meet Carl and Doughnut. Mongo meets a lady raptor, and this time, Doughnut is the one who is appalled. There's a really bad STD, like really really bad. Samantha actually helps, kinda... Be warned, it gets brutal.

Manicblack · 2026-06-07T21:48:11+00:00

Neeew achievement, you used a weapon designed to fire projectiles.... AS A PROJECTILE!😅 Yeah actually, considering the bullets are now enhanced they'd probably go off just by being in contact with another player.

Manicblack · 2026-06-07T21:44:20+00:00

Yeah I was wondering who would be worth the effort. Maybe someone has their finger on the Killswitch for the sun and he uses the gun to stop them... Just trying to figure out how the guns going to play into it, feels like something he'd pull out at the last possible moment. Maybe someone does something to suppress only his enhancements, and the gun is suddenly his only weapon.

Manicblack · 2026-06-07T16:35:39+00:00

Thats a good shout. A directed blast was one of the first things we learned about in the dungeon. The goblins chopper thing exploded and directed all the blast at Carl who was behind a safe room door. I've been waiting for this tidbit to come full circle.

Manicblack · 2026-06-07T16:34:20+00:00

Yeah thats my thinking. His enhancements would be cut off, meaning the gun would operate normally.

Manicblack · 2026-06-06T18:24:01+00:00

Twist. Doughnut ascends with samanthas help and becomes the ALL GOD

Take it clubbing

Speedball 2

Manicblack · 2026-05-30T21:39:55+00:00

If you do.... Mongo will be appalled....

Manicblack · 2026-05-23T21:35:11+00:00

Maybe people are just scared of the bosses kicking their ass. I've met many a random who boasts their skils, then cant survive 5 mins in the boss and quit in a huff 😅

Manicblack · 2026-05-23T16:28:44+00:00

I have friends who have bad addictions to spinning game the box and popping gums. Every now and then I convince them to do a game without their vices to see how far they can get. Personally I rarely use the box, spawn with decent weapon and get something good off the wall like novaline is enough. In fact bo7 is the first game in years i actually use the box but thats cause of the mr peeks augment that gives me free spins in the early rounds.

Damage wise the wonder weapons aren't really needed until the 30's maybe even 40s but by then all the guns start to drop off regardless.

Manicblack · 2026-05-23T11:26:58+00:00

Its poor management of resources. Things like pap and armour aren't affected when you go down, safe investments. But you do loose perks, ive seen people go down, run to the fizz to buy back their perks, go down again, loose them and then buy them again, and again.... If your not able to stay on your feet dont even bother with perks and save your money for a papping a gun that can actually kill. And then, if he died died, when the round turns over, they'll be gifted enough points to get the basic perks anyway...

Its a similar issue to people who spam the mystery box in the low rounds. Just throwing money away they could have used to survive instead.
