“Call of Duty: Black Ops 7” follows the Zombies team as they get stuck in the Dark Aether. There are no pilots left to save them if the zombie horde becomes too large. However, players can still leave the game early, but the process is different from before.
Instead of taking a helicopter, players teleport via phone booths to a strange mansion that looks a lot like Agartha. If you’re curious about how this works, this guide explains where to find exfil locations, how to trigger an exfil, and what rewards you’ll receive.
How to Exfil
Starting from Round 11, you can choose to exfil every five rounds—such as rounds 16, 21, 26, 31, and so on. When an exfil is available, you’ll see a pop-up message, and the nearest phone booth will be marked. These booths are located at key points around the map. Unlike in Black Ops 6, where exfil points were chosen randomly, here it will always be the closest phone booth to you.
To exfil, interact with the phone booth. You will then have a limited time to defeat a special enemy, while waves of zombies with purple eyes swarm the area. In the Ashes of the Damned map, the boss is a Zursa Bear. Zursa Bears are vulnerable to Brain Rot and Napalm Burst attacks. After defeating the boss, the zombie waves will disappear along with the boss. Just interact with the phone booth again to finish the game.
Exfil Locations in Ashes of the Damned
| Location | Phone Booth |
|---|---|
| Janus Tower Plaza | Located along the Janus Tower wall on the west side. |
| Vandorn Farm | Found towards the southwest of the farm. |
| Blackwater Lake | Near the northeast exit, on the main road. |
| Ashwood | In Rabbit Alley outside the room with Jugger-Nog. |
| Zarya Cosmodrome | In the courtyard opposite the rocket. |
| Exit 115 | Near the southeast exit. |
How to Initiate Exfil
Interact with a phone booth to start the exfil process. You’ll need to defeat a tough enemy—a Zursa Bear in Ashes of the Damned—while waves of purple-eyed zombies surround you. Zursa Bears are weak to Brain Rot and Napalm Burst. After defeating the boss, the zombies will vanish, and you can interact with the phone booth once more to end your game.
Rewards for Exfil
When you choose to exfil, all the essence you’re carrying converts into bonus experience points (XP). Exfilting is also the only way to obtain special GobbleGums, known as Whimsical GobbleGums, which you earn more of as the round gets higher. The higher the round, the more bonus rewards you can get by exfilling.
