Hi guys,

If you're wondering how to upgrade the Ghostly Riflemen Trap on Kowakujo, you've come to the right place. The Ghostly Riflemen are already a useful defensive trap, but with four separate upgrades, they become one of the most effective ways to keep the undead under control during the higher rounds.

Whether you're playing solo or with friends, this guide will walk you through all four Ghostly Riflemen Trap upgrades on Kowakujo in simple, easy-to-follow steps. So grab your favourite weapon, keep a zombie shambling behind you if possible, and let's get those ghostly soldiers battle-ready.

Pre-requisites

Before we begin upgrading any of the riflemen traps, we will first need to located a CRAFTING TABLE and craft the COMBAT BOW at a cost of 1250 credits.

Once we have this, we can now begin the upgrade process.

There are several RIFLEMEN TRAPS around the map in different locations. The one we are most interested in is the trap in the CENTRAL COURTYARD location.

What we have to do is, activate the central courtyard trap and get around 20 - 25 kills with each trap in order to upgrade it. Then we will shoot some targets that randomly appear on the large TREE in the central courtyard, with our COMBAT BOW, until all targets disappear.

We will then repeat this process a total of 3 more times to upgrade it to its max level, with some rewards and benefits coming our way with each upgrade.

Why Upgrade the Ghostly Riflemen Trap?

At its base level, the Ghostly Riflemen Trap is a great way to clear out groups of zombies without burning through your precious ammunition. However, every upgrade improves the trap's overall effectiveness, making your ghostly allies hit harder and deal with larger hordes more efficiently.

By the time you've unlocked all four upgrades, you'll have one of the strongest support traps available on the map. It's like taking your ghostly squad from weekend airsoft enthusiasts to elite zombie-hunting professionals.

Ghostly Riflemen Trap Upgrade 1 - Central Courtyard Location

Once you've unlocked access to the Ghostly Riflemen Trap in the central courtyard, activate it as you normally would and allow the spectral soldiers to finish their attacks, destroying around 25 zombies.

When the trap has completed its cycle and you have got the required number of kills, come in the doors leading from the CENTRAL COURTYARD location to the TENSHU ENTRANCE.

As soon as you come in, look to the right of the door you entered by and you will see a set of WINDOWS that the RIFLEMEN have been firing out of. 

The very first window on the right, on the Tenshu Entrance side, look out towards the TREE in the CENTRAL COURTYARD and you should see some BLUE GLOWING TARGETS appearing over the tree's trunk.

Simply fire your bow and hit these targets, with each one you hit, it will move to another location on the tree, and so on, until all targets have been hit.

The first target you hit, will give you an instant AETHER SHROUD ability, so the zombies won't be annoying you while you take aim. The targets then appear and move randomly as you hit each one, so check the far side of the tree trunk and near the top if you have trouble finding the targets.

Once you hit all the targets that have appeared, a set of 4 FLOATING MASKS will appear to the right hand side of this trap. against the wall.

Interact with these and some of the energy of the YELLOW mask will fly off and split into two, above these statues, then enter the STATUES of the trap itself.

This first upgrade will add the FIREWORKS AMMO MOD to the RIFLEMEN, so when an enemy is destroyed, it will play the fireworks animation when they hit the deck.

This is the first of 4 upgrades completed.

It isn't a huge jump in power the fireworks ammo mod, but you'll immediately notice your ghostly defenders becoming more effective against the undead.

Ghostly Riflemen Trap Upgrade 2

The second upgrade follows exactly the same pattern.

Simply wait until the trap is ready to use again, activate it, and complete the next available upgrade interaction once the firing sequence has ended and the correct amount of zombies have been destroyed.

Then go over to the FLOATING MASKS which appear at the wall, which this time there will be only 3 MASKS, interact with them and one of them will go into the 2 STATUES again. This should be the GREY MASK that goes into them.

You will also be given a SELF REVIVE KIT for free, which will drop down between the two statues for you to pickup.

This second upgrade will make giant CRYO FREEZE ICICLES appear around the STATUES, slowing zombies down as they walk over them or freezing them.

This ammo mod works in conjunction with the first ammo mod upgrade of fireworks. You will notice cryo-freeze crystals and fireworks going off at the same time with this trap.

Each upgrade continues to improve the trap's performance, allowing the riflemen to deal with tougher rounds more comfortably.

They're basically getting promoted after every successful shift... without asking for a pay rise.

Ghostly Riflemen Trap Upgrade 3

Repeat the process once more for the third upgrade.

Use the trap whenever it's available, complete the next upgrade interaction, and you'll continue boosting the Ghostly Riflemen's effectiveness.

This time the third upgrade will mean that once you interact with the remaining FLOATING MASKS, your RIFLEMEN will now have PACK A PUNCHED WEAPON strength as well as HEALING ORBS coming out to give you health from time to time.

By this stage, you'll really begin to appreciate having a squad of ghostly soldiers watching your back. Unlike random teammates, these ones never disappear halfway through the round to spin the Mystery Box.

Ghostly Riflemen Trap Upgrade 4

The fourth and final upgrade is the last step before reaching the trap's full potential.

Complete the final upgrade interaction after activating the trap one last time, and your Ghostly Riflemen Trap will now be fully upgraded.

This will be explosive rounds that really pack a punch when they impact a zombie and create a tiny bit of splash damage also.

With every upgrade unlocked, the riflemen become an excellent source of passive damage, helping to thin out massive zombie hordes while you focus on staying alive.

A fully upgraded trap provides reliable crowd control, conserves your ammunition, and can help rescue difficult situations when the zombie count starts getting out of hand. While it won't completely replace your weapons, it makes surviving high rounds considerably easier and is well worth investing the time into.

Thanks for reading as always.

Maneki-bomb upgrade in Kowakujo - Black Ops 7 Zombies

Hi guys,

here is how to build the MANEKI-BOMB in Kowakujo zombies map, within Call of Duty Black Ops 7.

This Maneki-bomb Easter egg is started automatically when you start to upgrade the first level of the  RIFLEMEN TRAPS.

We basically need to craft the COMBAT BOW first, from one of the CRAFTING TABLES, then head over to the CENTRAL COURTYARD area of the map and activate the RIFLEMEN TRAP.

Once activated, get about 20 - 25 kills with the trap, then come up to the wall behind the trap and look through the window furthest to the right hand side, nearest the door in front of the EXFIL BOOTH, and shoot the BLUE TARGETS that start to appear on the TREE in the CENTRAL COURTYARD.

Once all the blue targets have been destroyed, come back up to the window you originally looked through and on the ground, you will see a strange WHITE POWDER on the ground.

Pick this up, as it is 1 of 3 parts we will need in order to craft the MANEKI-BOMB.

Now we will find the other 2 parts in order to craft this device.

The next part we are looking for is in the KITCHENS area of the map and is a PIECE OF COAL.

This can be found in the bottom of the LARGE SQUARE STOVE in the middle of the kitchen building, next to where the FLAG is located to CAPTURE THE WARD. It is just facing the MYSTERY BOX SPAWN LOCATION in this kitchen.

Hold the interact button at the bottom of the STOVE to pick up this part and we can move onto the final piece, which is a BOX OF MATCHES.

Simply head over to the other building in the KITCHENS area where the DOUBLE TAP PERK MACHINE is located. Just in front of this machine, there is a SET OF SHELVES, with the bottom 2 shelves having a CONTAINERS on each.

On the bottom shelf, to the left of the container, there is a small box of MATCHES you can pick up. This is the last piece of the MANEKI-BOMB we need.

Now we have all of these pieces, simply head over to the CRAFTING BENCH where we created the MANEKI in the first place, which is in the WORKSHOP area and interact with the CRAFTING TABLE to make it.

This is incredibly useful this bomb, as it creates a YELLOW BUBBLE SHIELD that prevents zombies from entering the space taken up by it.

It basically grants you a temporary invulnerability, as long as there are no zombies trapped inside it, as you will need to clear them out first, before being totally safe inside it.

If the zombies are trapped inside it, they will not be able to leave the bubble until it wears off, or you destroy them.

Thanks for reading as always.

Kowakujo Robot / Rhino Mechanized Suit Easter egg - Black Ops 7 Zombies

Hi guys,

here is how to activate the Robot Mech Easter egg in Kowakujo zombies map, within Call of Duty Black Ops 7.

Once we activate this, it can then be rebought later on in zombie rounds for a total of 1750 credits, that will allow you to take down zombies with ease, for a limited amount of time.

It is very powerful and has a cool Godzilla style battle cut scene between and ABOMINATION special zombie and a ZURSA BEAR, over a small Japanese village.

You of course, have to intervene when you activate this mechanical mech suit, in order to destroy them and save the village.

Then from that point on, you will be able to purchase this suit in the game again from the KLAUS CORE.

Let's see how we can activate this piece of amazing robotic machinery.

This robot is going to cost an arm and a leg....double in fact!

We first need to head over to the FLOWER GARDEN area of the map and where the MOLTEN LAVA STREAM flows through here. 

It flows underneath the broken bridge and out into the sea of lava, just past the WISP TEA PERK MACHINE.

What we are waiting here for is for ROCKS to float by in the lava.

When we see a rock, simply shoot it and destroy it. What we are hoping to see once we destroy several of these rocks is a ROBOTIC ARM or LEG appearing that we can pick up.

There will not be one robot part in every rock we destroy, so we may get a few dud and empty rocks as we wait on one that actually contains a robotic arm or leg. 

What we need to do is keep destroying these rocks until we have collected 4 PIECES of the ROBOT.

Once we have these 4 pieces, we then need to head over to the left of where the WISP TEA PERK MACHINE is located, just a tiny bit to the left of the EXFIL BOOTH, there will be another 5th PART OF THE ROBOT on the edge of the lava bank.

This will appear only once you have the other 4 pieces collected from the destroyed floating LAVA ROCKS.

Interact with this last piece and an UBER KLAUS will spawn in, flying up from underneath the river of lava  in the background, which you will have to destroy.

Once he is destroyed, you should be able to interact with the KLAUS ROBOT and you will be taken into the mini cut scene where the ABOMINATION and the ZURSA BEAR spawn in and an epic showdown begins.

You will wait a few seconds as you watch each of the special enemies spawn in, then you will drop from the sky in a MECHANICAL ROBOTIC SUIT with an insane amount of firepower, to destroy the both of these special enemies.

They are not hard to destroy, now that you have been given the correct tools top dispose of them, but when you do destroy them, you will be then be teleported back to the main map.

Then, in the FLOWER GARDEN, you will be able to purchase this RHINO SCORESTREAK from the dead KLAUS CORE ROBOT in this area, for a total of 1750 credits.

Thanks for reading as always guys.
