Double the Firepower: Your Complete Black Ops 7 Week 2 Challenge Breakdown

Ready to dominate Week 2 of Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 1? This week brings 24 fresh challenges across all game modes, and the prize for completing just six of them is absolutely worth your time—the Akita Scorchlink Akimbo Stock that lets you dual-wield full-auto shotguns. Whether you’re grinding Multiplayer, surviving Zombies, conquering Endgame, or battling in Warzone, this guide breaks down everything you need to claim your reward efficiently.

Black Ops 7 Week 2 Quick Overview

The Prize: Akita Scorchlink Akimbo Stock

Let’s talk about why you’re grinding these challenges. The Akita Scorchlink Akimbo attachment transforms the already deadly Akita shotgun into an unstoppable close-range monster. You’ll wield two full-auto shotguns simultaneously, featuring belt-fed ammo capacity with an overheat mechanic to balance the devastating firepower.

The trade-off? Slight reductions to damage range and hipfire spread—minor sacrifices when you’re unleashing a storm of shells at point-blank range. This attachment excels in tight quarters, making it perfect for Resurgence maps and aggressive Multiplayer playstyles.

Pro Tips for Fast Completion

Mix and Match Modes: You don’t need six challenges from one mode. Complete three Warzone tasks and three Multiplayer challenges—the game counts them all equally toward your reward.

Prioritize Easy Wins: Assault rifle eliminations appear across multiple modes. If you’re comfortable with ARs, knock out those challenges first across different game types for efficient progress.

Double XP Timing: Weekly challenges remain available until the mid-season update at Week 5. If possible, complete them during Double XP weekends to maximize returns.

Endgame Strategy: The Colossus of Avalon World Event makes completing Endgame challenges easier when squading up. According to Dot Esports’ challenge breakdown, maintaining a Combat Rating of 45+ ensures smoother clears.

Best Modes for Each Challenge Type

For Elimination Challenges: Multiplayer modes like Team Deathmatch and Domination provide the fastest enemy encounters. Hardpoint is particularly effective for racking up kills quickly.

For Contract Challenges: Warzone’s Resurgence maps on Haven’s Hollow offer abundant Scavenger contracts with shorter rotation times compared to Battle Royale.

For Scorestreak/Equipment Kills: Focus on objective modes where scorestreaks cycle faster. Control and Hardpoint generate score quickly, letting you earn Skewers and RC-XDs more frequently.

For Zombies Challenges: Liberty Falls provides ideal training areas for critical kill grinding, while Terminus offers better Pack-a-Punch accessibility for weapon-specific challenges.

Community Event Integration

Week 2 also launches the Rally Point Community Event, where players collectively complete missions to unlock rewards like the NX Ravager Crossbow. Your weekly challenge progress naturally contributes to Rally Point objectives, creating efficient dual progression.

Personal Rally Point missions unlock additional cosmetics and XP bonuses, so you’re essentially earning rewards from two systems simultaneously. For complete Rally Point coverage, visit the official Activision support page.

Don’t Sleep on Universal Camos

Beyond the Akita attachment, completing all weekly challenges throughout Season 1 unlocks two Universal Camos usable across every game mode. These rare cosmetics require dedication but showcase your commitment to the grind.
