Following Operation Poison Pill, JSOC confirmed The Guild's attempt to stand up a mirror C-Link network. Karma's objective: build a virus powerful enough to shut it down: requires first mapping the network's true architecture. Players return to Avalon to gather Diagnostic Data through targeted Guild disruptions. These missions escalate toward a Glitch Fracture, which grants access to the corrupted core. Javelin deploys the virus from within. The mirror network collapses. The Guild presumably regroups in Season 4. Cycle continues.
Operation Broken Mirror is a multi-step, story-driven mission chain that runs inside Endgame's Avalon map. Every completed objective pays out a reward: blueprints, skins, tokens, emblems: so the grind is at least transactional. The operation culminates in a Virus Injection Glitch Boss fight against waves of Nightmare-difficulty enemies. You were warned.

The BO7 Endgame Operation Broken Mirror step structure follows the same principle as its predecessor: early steps introduce mechanics, later steps question your life decisions. All objectives are gated at Zone III or higher. Gather Diagnostic Data, expose the mirror network structure, trigger a Glitch Fracture, breach the core, deploy the virus, fight the boss.
Run targeted operations against Guild assets in Zone III or higher. Disrupting assets exposes the mirror network's inner structure. This is the "polite introduction" phase. Do not get comfortable.
Missions escalate. Each step pays a reward on completion. Power upgrades for your Operator are baked in, ensuring you arrive at the finale in theoretically better shape than you started.
Complete Operation Broken Mirror to unlock the Virus Injection Glitch Fracture. The breach grants JSOC a delivery path into the core. Beware of what emerges on your path: the patch notes' exact words, which should concern you.
