How to Get Permanent Double Points in Black Ops 7 Zombies

In the latest installment of the undead saga, Black Ops 7 Zombies: Ashes of the Damned, players are constantly looking for ways to gain a financial edge over the encroaching hordes. While standard gameplay offers temporary power-ups, one of the most exciting and rewarding side Easter Eggs grants a permanent buff: Double Points for every melee kill for the rest of the game.This incredible advantage transforms your melee knife into an infinite Essence farming machine, allowing you to acquire all Perk-a-Colas, armor upgrades, and Pack-a-Punch tiers much earlier than usual. This makes conquering the best loot zones in both standard and Cursed maps significantly easier. Achieving this permanent buff requires a strategic approach, a specific Perk-a-Cola, and a high-stakes, melee-only mini-boss fight.Here is the definitive, step-by-step guide to unlocking the Claw Talisman and securing permanent Double Points in Ashes of the Damned.

BO7 Zombies: How to Get Permanent Double Points (Ashes of the Damned)

Phase 1: Essential Preparation and Pre-Boss Setup

Before you begin the Easter Egg sequence, smart preparation is crucial. The final stage requires a melee-only confrontation, and being geared up drastically increases your survival odds.

Recommended Preparation

Weapon Rarity & Pack-a-Punch: Focus on upgrading your melee weapon (Knife) to a high rarity (Purpleor Gold) and applying at least Tier 2 Pack-a-Punch damage. A high-damage melee weapon ensures the final boss fight is manageable on lowerrounds.

Armor and Perks: Ensure you have your full suite of essential Perks and high-level armor. You will need these bonuses in the boss arena.

The Quick-Spawn Method (Optional but Recommended): To initiate the boss fight sequence faster (ideally by Round 10 when enemy health is lower), start the match with the Toxic Growth Field Upgrade.

• Execute Method: Once ready, head to Janus Towers Plaza. Use Toxic Growth on the specific green plants found there. Spray these plants with a fumigator to make them burst open, dropping valuable upgrades, including Weapon Rarity upgrades, Mystery Perks, and Pack-a-Punch crystals. Use these drops to quickly upgrade your melee knife.

Acquire the Key Perk

• Perk Required: You must acquire Death Perception.
• Location: Death Perception is reliably located in the Barn at Vandorn Farm. Consume the Perk-a-Cola before proceeding.

Phase 2: Following the Trail of the Zursa

Once you have Death Perception and your upgraded melee weapon, you must find the ritual trigger point by traversing specific routes on the map.Death Perception is essential because it highlights the faint visualcues you need to interact with.

Venture into the Fog Roads: You must travel down one of the two designated "fog roads," which are dense, hazardous routes on the map:

• The Crashed Rocket road (leading from Ashwood to Zarya Comsodrome).
• The Orda Graveyard road (leading from Ashwood to Exit 115).

Find the Pawprint: Start closer to the gate coming from Ashwood. With Death Perception active, look for a glowing bear pawprint on the ground within the fog road.

Interact and Follow:

• Interact with the initial glowing pawprint to activate the trail.
• Follow the subsequent trail, interacting with each pawprint you find along the way.

Trigger the Cutscene: Interacting with the final pawprint will trigger a brief cutscene where a Zursa bear attacks you, instantly transporting you to a mini-boss arena to fight an HVT Zursa.

Phase 3: The Melee-Only Boss Fight and Reward

The HVT Zursa is essentially a mini-boss version of the Elite Zursa bear.The rules of this fight are strict, and adherence is mandatory to secure the permanent reward.

Retrieve Your Gear: Immediately upon spawning into the boss arena, you will see your weapons and equipment scattered on the ground. IMMEDIATELY pick up this equipment.

• Note: Although your HUD might not immediately show your Perks or Armor asbeing active, picking up the gear registers them as active, which isvital for surviving the encounter.

The Melee Rule: You must kill the HVT Zursa bear using only your knife or equipped melee weapon for dealing damage.

Avoid Other Weapons: If you fire or damage the bear with any other weapon (e.g., a rifle, pistol, or grenade), you will not receive the reward, regardless of how the final blow is dealt.

Claim the Talisman: Upon successfully defeating the bear with only melee damage, the HVT Zursa will explode. A black orb will float into a nearby chest.

Equip and Activate: Interact with the chest to claim the Claw Talisman. Once you equip the Claw Talisman, you will instantly receive the permanent buff: Double Points for every melee kill for the remainder of the game.

This permanent buff makes melee kills the most lucrative way to earnEssence, allowing you to rapidly farm points and upgrade your characterand weapons to maximum potential within the early rounds, giving you anunparalleled advantage in Ashes of the Damned.
