Surviving Zombie Hordes Just Got Fierier: Unleash the Napalm Burst in Black Ops 7
Zombies in Black Ops 7 are tougher than ever, but there's a secret weapon that can turn the tide in your favor: the Napalm Burst Ammo Mod. This fiery upgrade isn't just a flashy addition; it's a game-changer for both crowd control and taking down those pesky bosses. But here's where it gets controversial: while some players swear by its effectiveness, others argue it's overpowered. Is it a fair advantage or a cheat code in disguise? Let’s dive in and find out.
What is Napalm Burst and Why Should You Care?
The Napalm Burst is a returning Ammo Mod in Black Ops 7 Zombies, one of six such mods designed to give your weapons an edge. When equipped, it transforms your regular ammo into fire-infused rounds, dealing damage over time to both standard and special zombies. Think of it as adding a flamethrower effect to your gun—perfect for clearing out waves of undead or singeing those tougher enemies.
How to Unlock Napalm Burst: A Step-by-Step Guide
Unlocking this fiery mod is straightforward, but it requires some patience. You’ll need to reach Player Level 35 before it becomes available. Once unlocked, head to an Arsenal Machine during a match and purchase it using Salvage, the game’s in-game currency. And this is the part most people miss: you can use Napalm Burst across multiple matches, making it a reliable tool in your zombie-slaying arsenal.
Enhancing the Flame: Augments for Napalm Burst
What takes Napalm Burst from good to great are its Augments. In Black Ops 7, each Ammo Mod comes with eight Augments—four Major and four Minor—to enhance its capabilities. Here’s the kicker: you can unlock a second Minor Augment Slot once all other research is complete. But remember, you can only equip one Major and one Minor Augment at a time.
Major Augments:
- Big Game: Allows you to burn elite zombies, turning the tables on these formidable foes.
- Thermite: Intensifies the burning effect, dealing more damage over time.
- Firebomb: Causes zombies to explode upon death, spreading fire to nearby enemies.
- Petroleum (New): Creates a pool of fire where your bullet lands, trapping zombies in a blazing inferno.
Minor Augments:
- Extension: Prolongs the burn duration, keeping zombies aflame longer.
- Incendiary: Transfers the burn effect to nearby zombies with each damage tick.
- Contact Burn: Delivers massive initial damage when the burn effect starts.
- Backdraft (New): Increases the activation range, catching more zombies in the flames.
Accessing Augments: A Quick Note
To start enhancing your Napalm Burst, you’ll need to reach Player Level 11 to unlock the Augment Research Lab. Once there, activate the research for Napalm Burst by unlocking three Augments first. It’s a bit of a grind, but the payoff is worth it.
Final Thoughts: Is Napalm Burst Worth It?
Absolutely. Whether you’re facing a swarm of zombies or a boss, Napalm Burst’s fire damage and Augments provide a versatile and powerful tool. But here’s the question: Do you think Napalm Burst is too powerful, or is it just the right balance for Black Ops 7’s challenging zombie mode? Let us know in the comments below!
