The Best Way to Play Black Ops 7 Endgame Mode Without Even Touching the Campaign

Endgame Mode is a new game mode that was introduced in Black Ops 7. This game mode is a large-scale, co-op PvE (Player vs. Environment) mode where players team up in squads of up to four players to complete objectives, level up operators, and earn rewards in an open map called Avalon. Endgame mode is available only after completing the main campaign of the game. However, there’s a way to skip the campaign entirely and unlock Endgame mode, and here’s how.

Skipping the Campaign – Is It Possible?

Yes, it is very possible to skip the entire Black Ops 7 campaign and go straight to Endgame mode; however, there are some conditions to be able to do that. You cannot play this mode as a solo player without first completing the campaign, as the lobby required to launch into the mode is locked until you complete the campaign, which is about five hours long. However, this does not restrict you from experiencing it if you haven’t completed the campaign.

How to Play Endgame Mode Without Completing the Campaign

You can play Endgame mode without completing the campaign by joining the lobby of a host who has already unlocked the mode with campaign completion. You might need to sit through the introductory cut scene of the campaign, but it shouldn’t cost you much time.

After the cutscene, you will be able to join another host’s lobby, as long as they have completed their campaign. However, you won’t be able to launch into the Endgame mode yourself and will need to rely on someone with campaign completion any time you want to play. This may change in the future, as in future seasons, you won’t need to have completed the campaign to access this mode, though this is just speculation.

Endgame mode offers the storytelling of the campaign with mechanics we often see in COD Zombies and multiplayer. It’s a great way to level up gear and your operators, unlock new abilities, and complete new challenges and quests.
