Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 trophies — roadmap and the PS4 vs PS5 platinum split

Black Ops 7 splits its trophy support by platform. On PlayStation 4 you’re chasing a full 51‑trophy list including a platinum. On PlayStation 5 the game is delivered inside the Call of Duty hub as an add‑on, with 50 trophies and no platinum. Everything else — counts, categories, and requirements — is the same across both consoles.

How the list is structured

The list spans four pillars:

• Co‑Op Campaign: Complete the campaign (“Nightmare to Dreams”), hit milestones like maxing an Operator (“Turbocharged”), and collect every piece of Intel (“Loremaster”).
• Multiplayer: Core progression and performance — enter Prestige (“New Dynasty”), 1,000 eliminations (“Destroyer”), 25 wins (“Frontline Offensive”), Best Play features (“Glamor Shot”), and mode‑specific actions like Hunter Bot destructibles (“Not In My House”).
• Zombies: A main Easter egg (“Dust to Dust” for Ashes of the Damned), long‑run challenges (10,000 kills in “Corpse Aplenty”), map‑specific tasks (“Expert Curator”), consumables (“Mixologist”, “Chew On This”), and build‑oriented kills (“Builder’s Brew”, “Enforced Freedom”).
• Dead Ops Arcade: A familiar trio — the Room of Fate (“Forever Fated”), a five‑chicken chain (“Fowl Five Piece”), and the endurance boss clear (“Reunited with Fidolina”).

There are also cross‑mode progression and mastery beats: weapon prestige (“Master Of Arms”), category mastery badges (“Dripped Out”), and earning 100 unique medals (“Decorated Veteran”).

Recommended roadmap (fastest overlap first)

You can earn the trophies in any order. This route reduces backtracking by stacking level, weapon, and challenge progress.

• Step 1 — Co‑Op Campaign sweep: Play through on your comfortable difficulty to finish “Nightmare to Dreams.” Focus on grabbing Intel as you go for “Loremaster” and experiment with gadgets and weapons to get a head start on medal variety.
• Step 2 — Multiplayer foundations: Chip away at “Frontline Offensive” (25 wins) and “Destroyer” (1,000 eliminations) while working toward “New Dynasty” (enter Prestige) and “Master Of Arms” (enter weapon prestige). Slot challenges that feed specific trophies: Hunter Bot placement destruction (“Not In My House”), Needle Drone direct hits (“Pathfinder”), Gravemaker multikills (“Farsight”), and wallhop air kills (“Fresh Moves”).
• Step 3 — Zombies core: Prioritize the main quest on Ashes of the Damned for “Dust to Dust,” then aim for “Expert Curator” (unlock 3 relics). Start the longer totals early: “Corpse Aplenty” (10,000 kills) will finish naturally if you run objective waves while rotating ammo mods and Field Upgrades for “Scientific Breakthrough.” Use that same time to knock out consumable counters (“Mixologist”, “Chew On This”) and status‑based kill challenges like “Poison Paradise” and “Soul Stealer.”
• Step 4 — Dead Ops Arcade endurance: Leave “Reunited with Fidolina” toward the end; it’s typically the most demanding clear. You should pick up “Forever Fated” and “Fowl Five Piece” on the way.

Finally, clean up category‑based completions: finish a full Calling Card set in Multiplayer (“Taking Names”) and Zombies (“Hoarder”), then equip Overclocks across every slot (“Maximum Overdrive”).

Platform reality check: PS4 vs PS5

If a platinum matters, play on PS4. The PS5 list is implemented as a Call of Duty add‑on and doesn’t award a platinum, mirroring how recent entries have handled the hub app. Progression structure is otherwise the same, so you can use the roadmap above regardless of platform.

Multiplayer — targeted guidance

• Frontline Offensive (25 wins): Favor shorter, objective‑based playlists to cycle matches quickly. Queue with friends when possible to stabilize win rate.
• Destroyer (1,000 eliminations): Play modes with constant engagements. Swap weapons as you go to make progress toward weapon prestige, camo tracks, and medal variety for “Decorated Veteran.”
• Glamor Shot (Best Play 3 times): Multi‑kills and objective swings tend to surface in the highlight reel. Stack lethals during hill takes or chokepoints to raise your odds.
• Not In My House (Hunter Bot): Run the Hunter Bot on maps with deployable enemy gear and objective zones. You need five destroyed items in a single match.
• Pathfinder (Needle Drone 30m direct hit): Pick long, clear sightlines and pre‑aim likely routes. The trophy requires a direct hit kill from at least 30 meters — splash damage doesn’t count.
• Farsight (Gravemaker triple): Save the Scorestreak for grouped enemies — a fresh hill or capture radius is ideal.
• Fresh Moves (wallhop air kill): Identify wallhop lines in your favorite maps and fish for an airborne elimination while crossing one.
• Maximum Overdrive: From your loadout menus, apply an Overclock to a Lethal, a Tactical, a Field Upgrade, and three Scorestreaks at the same time.

Progression beats will arrive naturally — “New Dynasty” (enter Prestige) and “Master Of Arms” (enter weapon prestige) track your account and weapon usage; “Dripped Out” requires a full category of mastery badges, so focus on a weapon class you enjoy.

Zombies — what to prioritize

• Dust to Dust (Main Quest on Ashes of the Damned): This is the anchor trophy for the mode. Assemble a reliable build (damage, survivability, a mobility escape) and commit to the quest line; it’s the most involved step in Zombies.
• Expert Curator (3 Relics on Ashes of the Damned): Pursue Relic unlock paths while you learn the map. Relics double as power plays for longer objective chains.
• Corpse Aplenty (10,000 zombies): Treat this as a background grind. Stick to high‑spawn activities and rotate damage types so you can funnel progress into “Poison Paradise,” “Enforced Freedom,” and other effect‑based kill trophies.
• Scientific Breakthrough: Equip two Minor Augments each on a Field Upgrade, a Perk, and an Ammo Mod. Do this early so you can practice with the passives you’ll stick with later.
• Consumables and builds: “Mixologist” (four different well‑prepared drinks) and “Chew On This” (15 GobbleGums in one match) are quick wins in games where you’re staying for multiple objectives. “I Heard You Like Upgrades” (fully upgrade Ol’ Tessie) and “Builder’s Brew” (Elite kill from a Wisp final hit) are build‑specific — plan a session around them.
• Category completion: “Hoarder” asks for all six Calling Card challenges in one Zombies category. Pick a lane (e.g., map, kill style, or objective) and finish that single track rather than dabbling across several.

Keep “Good Soldiers” in mind while you explore — it hinges on uncovering story secrets tied to a war hero. If you’re juggling multiple objectives, set a checkpoint: finish the main quest first, then sweep side tasks in focused runs.

Dead Ops Arcade — set expectations

• Forever Fated: Reaching the Room of Fate will happen on a solid run; it marks a key early milestone.
• Fowl Five Piece: You need five chickens chained together. This is luck‑based; crack open chests whenever you can during a run.
• Reunited with Fidolina: The boss clear is the mode’s skill check and is widely viewed as the hardest single trophy in the list. Build consistency with the basics — keep lanes clear, bank nukes for emergencies, and prioritize survivability over greed during chest rooms.

Block out time for Dead Ops. Endurance, pattern recognition, and patience matter as much as raw aim here.

Efficient cleanup — challenges that puzzle players

Progression and mastery — what stacks quietly

• Prestige and weapon prestige: “New Dynasty” and “Master Of Arms” will come along as you split time between modes. Don’t force them early; pick the weapons you’re building Mastery Badges for to double dip toward “Dripped Out.”
• Medal variety: For “Decorated Veteran,” think breadth. In Multiplayer, capture, defend, destroy equipment, get multi‑kills, and play objective roles. In Zombies, rotate Field Upgrades and ammo effects to generate different medal types.
• Calling Cards: Open the challenge tracker and pin a single category in each mode. It’s faster to complete one vertical than to half‑finish several.

Common pitfalls to avoid

• Chasing highlights instead of wins: For “Glamor Shot,” don’t tunnel vision the end‑of‑match moment. Multi‑kills created by smart utility use are more consistent than risky solo pushes.
• Leaving Zombies totals for last: “Corpse Aplenty” and consumable counters are marathon objectives. Fold them into every session early so nothing lingers.
• Ignoring loadout menus: “Maximum Overdrive” and “Scientific Breakthrough” are setup trophies. Secure them in menus before a match, not mid‑fight.

If you’re playing on PS5, set expectations: you’ll clear the same checklist without the platinum at the end. On PS4, the platinum unlocks after “The Future Is Now” condition is met — that’s every other trophy in hand. Either way, the list rewards varied play, a steady Zombies grind, and one big endurance run in Dead Ops Arcade.
