The Nuked Survival event is a 7-day limited-time grind exclusive to Black Ops 7 Zombies. Complete all six challenges on the Nuked Survival map to earn the Chronology universal mastery camo. Each individual challenge also drops a cosmetic reward, so you won't walk away completely empty-handed when Treyarch inevitably breaks your spirit.
The event runs June 4–11, 2026. After that, the Chronology camo is gone. Forever. Hopefully that motivates you more than the camo itself does.

Five thousand kills. With a wall-buy weapon. On one map. Treyarch is testing your loyalty and your free time simultaneously. The Black Ops 7 Zombies wallbuy weapon you want is the MXR near the Pack-a-Punch, or the M8 if you refuse to spend a single door coin. There's also a pistol right at spawn for the truly frugal.
TEDD Tasks begin spawning around round four, which means you have no excuse not to start working on them immediately. They come in various flavors: some reasonable, some insulting. The "stand still and get kills" variant was clearly designed by someone who has never heard of stick drift.
You do not need legendary TEDD Task completion for this challenge to count. Blue rarity is enough if the task risks getting you killed at higher rounds. Survive first. Cosmetics second. Ego never.
Rad-Hounds appear exclusively during special rounds Nuked Survival mode, which trigger randomly between rounds five and seven and grow more frequent later. They are not on a schedule. Treyarch did not feel the need to give you control over this.
This Is The Bad One The Blundergat does not build in Nuked Survival. There is no crafting table. There is no Easter egg step. It comes from the Mystery Box: rarely: or from a Legendary TEDD Task completion: also rarely. You will open that box a hundred times and get Ray Guns. Congratulations on your collection.
Once you have it, the task is getting 10 kills without reloading fifteen separate times. The Blundergat wonder weapon BO7 cannot be Pack-a-Punched on this map, which makes later rounds increasingly hostile to this objective. You need to train zombies into a dense cluster and unload into the crowd. Patience is mandatory. Self-respect is optional.
This challenge sounds catastrophic. It is not. The restriction is specifically on perk machine round 20 no perks purchases, not on holding perks. GobbleGums that grant perks are fully valid. Legendary TEDD Task completions that award perks are fully valid. You can run Juggernog, Speed Cola, and every perk in the game: as long as a machine didn't sell them to you.
This one completes itself. Play the game, complete special rounds zombies as they appear, and the counter moves. The Rad-Hound rounds you're farming for Challenge 3 are special rounds. The overlap is significant. This challenge exists primarily to make the total look intimidating.
June 11, 2026 at 10 AM PT. Miss it and the Chronology camo is gone.
No. Mystery Box or Legendary TEDD Task only. It will mostly give you Ray Guns.
No. Only buying from perk machines counts. GobbleGum and TEDD Task perks are fully allowed.
Yes, as long as your wallbuy weapon lands the kill. Multitask shamelessly.
Prioritize Blundergat hunting first. Every other challenge accumulates naturally around it.
