In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, players dive into the Zombies map, Ashes of the Damned, to unlock the formidable Pack-a-Punch, a powerful weapon upgrade. Located within the game, it follows Ol' Tessie, a truck central to the main quest, as players navigate through various challenges.
Steps to Unlock Key Features
The first task involves activating Ol' Tessie. Players must retrieve T.E.D.D.'s Head from the Janus Towers Plaza Server Room and install it on the pickup truck. Then, they drive Ol' Tessie to Blackwater Lake, clearing obstacles to prepare the Pack-a-Punch station.
Afterward, players drive Ol' Tessie to Ashwood, where they must clear orange pods, flip power switches, and park the vehicle in the garage. Successfully installing the Pack-a-Punch onto Ol' Tessie grants it a useful nitro boost.
Upgrades and Weapon Acquisition
Players can enhance Ol' Tessie with the Abomination Beam by visiting Exit 115 Reba's Diner, defeating zombies for a freezer key, and using it to upgrade in Ashwood. For those looking to obtain the powerful Necrofluid Gauntlet, players must complete puzzles, including defeating Uber Klaus and charging the Aether Barrel across map locations.
The game also involves collecting six serum ingredients and making a targeted serum in Yuri's Lab, which includes defending against multiple zombie waves.
Facing the Final Challenge: Veytharion
The quests lead to an ultimate confrontation with Veytharion, a massive floating boss requiring tactics involving Ol' Tessie. Players must avoid its beam attacks, repair Ol' Tessie if needed, and strategically use nitro boosts for powerful impacts.
Beating Veytharion marks the completion of Ashes of the Damned's main challenges and unlocks new gameplay layers in Cursed mode, introducing heightened difficulty through Relics.
