Call of Duty Black Ops 7 "Paradox Junction" Map Layout (Work In Progress) - Black Ops 7 Zombies


Hi guys,

we are back with another map layout for the awesome new zombies map called Paradox Junction! This is a work in progress and I will be updating it with the latest secrets, Easter eggs and locations of items of interest as I go. Tonight, I will be having fun on it and the new Warzone map Avalon.

Paradox Junction is the latest Zombies map in Black Ops 7, set in a fractured version of the iconic Nuketown where two timelines collide. Players fight through both the untouched neighbourhood before the bomb and its irradiated aftermath, switching between eras through portals or during round transitions. Each timeline offers different perks, utilities, and threats, forcing teams to adapt their strategies as the environment shifts. 

With new enemies, returning characters from the Zombies storyline, and puzzle-driven objectives tied to time manipulation, Paradox Junction blends classic Nuketown chaos with a unique dual-timeline twist that changes how players approach the map.

Hi guys,

In the Astra Malorum Zombies map, there is a way to SLOW DOWN TIME.....briefly for about 60 seconds. It is not quite back to the future as such its more like.....lets wait a little longer until the future arrives......eventually.

I believe that this Easter egg ties in with getting the FREE RAY GUN from the ROCKET SHIP that floats across SATURNS orbit, in the ABYSSAL RIM area of the map and you need to shoot it with the upgraded INSTA-KILL WISPS in order to blow up the rocket ship and retrieve the RAY GUN.

However as the WISPS are quite slow when you shoot them into the distance, it can be hard to hit the rocket ship. I believe slowing time down will also slow the ROCKET SHIP that orbits SATURN down, making it much easier to hit.

However, apart from people mentioning what is the point of this East egg, that's where I see it being used.

Let's figure out how to alter time and slow it down and.....our aging process....I want to stay young for another 60 seconds at least during this zombie apocalypse.

All we need to do to activate this time delay, is melee 5 GRANDFATHER CLOCKS and their CHIMES underneath them.

Lets figure out the locations of these clocks.


Grandfather Clock Location 1 - The Luminarium



Grandfather Clock Location 2 - Museum Infinitum



This is located directly behind the SPEED COLA PERK MACHINE in this area.

Grandfather Clock Location 3 - Machina Astralis




In the middle area of this section, near the stairs that lead down to the lower section are located.

Grandfather Clock Location 4 - Machina Astralis




In the lower section of this area next to the machine where DOCTOR THURSTON'S BRAIN is inserted into this machine as part of the main Easter egg quest. It displays the LIST OF BOOKS you need to take note of.

Grandfather Clock Location 5 - Archive of Orbis




This is located directly to the left hand side of the STAMIN-UP PERK MACHINE in this area.

When you hit each GRANDFATHER CLOCK, you will hear a strange CHIME noise being played.




These can be struck in any order and once the last one is hit, you will hear a weird distorted sound being played and the screen will go partly blurry around the edges of people, letting you know it is in effect the time slowdown.

You will also hear slow distorted chime and bell noises as it is occurring.

It will last around 60 seconds or so before resuming back to normal.

Thanks for reading as always guys.

Free Raygun From Rocket Ship in Astra Malorum - Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Zombies

Hi guys,

In the Astra Malorum Zombies map, there is a way to get a guaranteed FREE RAY GUN from the ROCKET SHIP that orbits the planet SATURN in the background of this map.

This ROCKET SHIP that is spotted every 3 or 4 rounds flying across the screen, is the ROCKET SHIP from the ASHES OF THE DAMNED map, which we launched during the Easter egg's main quest through that map.

It looks like it has ran out of fuel of course and it has been caught in the orbit of SATURN and its rings.

Even though it looks like it has nothing to do with anything in the map, being so far away, it does actually in fact, hold a FREE RAY GUN.

Here is how we can obtain it:

  • Upgrade the WISPS on this map to be the INSTA-KILL WISPS


To do this, we find a WISP within a WALL LANTERN in the map and then take it to 9 other WALL LANTERN locations in total and then stare at these lanterns to pull the upgraded INSTA-KILL WISPS out of the lanterns so that they circle out body.

If you are unfamiliar with this step, don't worry, I have a step by step guide I have created for this INSTA-KILL WISPS GUIDE

  • Fire the INSTA-KILL WISPS at the ROCKET SHIP as it flies across SATURN from ROUND 16 onwards
So, now we have our upgraded Insta-Kill Wisps, we need to get a bunch of them collected so we have 5 of them for instance collected and head over to beside where the WISP TEA PERK MACHINE is located in the ABYSSAL RIM area of the map.



We need to wait until ROUND 16 on this map, until we see a ROCKET SHIP appear, around the orbit of SATURN.

Wait until you see the ROCKET SHIP heading from the left to the right hand side of SATURN. When you see it, aim in front of the trajectory it is travelling in well into the distance and start to fire the UPGRADED INSTA-KILL WISPS in front of it.

We are of course, hoping these WISPS will hit the ROCKET SHIP and impact onto it. You will know if you have hit it or not, as you will see a small golden or yellow explosion and a small  shock wave coming out from the point you hit the ship at.

This sounds easy to do, but it is actually much more difficult than it sounds as the the ship is a fair distance away and the WISPS are not the fastest things in the world, so it might take a few goes at this until you get it dead on.





If you run out of WISPS, simply wait till the next round or until they regenerate inside the WALL LANTERNS around the map and you can attempt this again.

The ROCKET SHIP will eventually disappear but it seems to reappear in orbit every 3 to 4 rounds again it will become visible.

When you hit the ship with the WISPS successfully, it will be destroyed and then a BOLT OF ENERGY WILL FIRE TOWARDS where you stand. 









Look on the ground and you will be rewarded handsomely with the RAY GUN!




Thanks for reading as always.
