Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has a new way to play with the introduction of a PvE Endgame mode, and we’ve got all the details on how to skip the campaign completely to play the mode.
The campaign in Black Ops 7 has some major changes, with four-player co-op support and exclusive Camos to unlock as part of your progress, but the story isn’t for everyone, and you may want to skip it entirely.
Choosing not to complete the campaign won’t lock you out of the Endgame mode in Black Ops 7, but there are some caveats, as we’ve explained here.
Can You Skip The Black Ops 7 Campaign?
Yes, you can skip the Black Ops 7 campaign entirely if you want to dive into the Endgame mode immediately, though there are some restrictions.
You cannot play Black Ops 7’s Endgame mode as a solo player without first completing the campaign, as the lobby required to launch into the mode is locked.
If you decide you’d rather complete the campaign so you have the mode available to launch yourself, expect to sink around five hours for full completion.
Later in the Black Ops 7 lifespan, likely with a future seasonal update, the requirements for campaign completion may be lifted entirely. For now, however, there’s one specific way to go around it.
How to Play Black Ops 7 Endgame Without Completing The Campaign
You can play the Black Ops 7 Endgame mode without completing the campaign by joining the lobby of a host who has unlocked the Endgame mode with campaign completion.
If you haven’t watched the introductory cutscene for the campaign, you might need to sit through it before you first dive in, but that won’t take too long. After that, you’re free to jump into the Endgame mode whenever you have a host who has completed the requirements.
You won’t, however, 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.
In future seasons, access to the Black Ops 7 Endgame mode without completing the campaign may be opened up as an option, though this isn’t confirmed at this time.
