If you want to unlock everything as fast as possible in Black Ops 7 Zombies, using an XP farm to rank up isn’t a bad idea.
While getting XP by just playing isn’t particularly slow, you can greatly speed up the process by farming at specific spots. It’s a great way to speed up through the Ranks so you can get all of the unlocks out of the way!
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to find and use the best XP farm we know of.
How to Farm XP and Rank Up Fast | Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Zombies
For the best XP farm currently in the game, you’ll need to head to the Blackwater Lake past the Lost Cabins on the Vandorm Farm map. This is on Survival mode, as well.
Of course, we recommend getting all of your Perks and Pack-a-Punch upgrades out of the way before going to the farming spot! It’ll speed things up and make them safer.
Once you get there, you will need to go to the right of the entrance to find a hay bale that you can climb up to. The clip above shows you the route to it, but it’s quite easy to spot.
When you are on the hay bale, you honestly just need to sit down and start shooting at zombies. They can only come at you from one direction here, and they have to slowly climb onto the bale. So, you can just get free and easy headshots!
The only issue with this farming spot are the Zursas. That is the zombified bears that spawn every now and then. Pay attention to when you notice them spawn.
Dealing With Zursas
If you’re on the hay bale, the Zursas will usually go into the house next to you and try to hit you from behind. They usually clip through the house, doing some damage, too!
Thankfully, you can somewhat use this to your advantage, too. Their body clips just enough through the wall that you can get some shots in, potentially killing them without losing your spot.
Alternatively, get off the hay bale when you notice them and deal with them normally. Once they’re taken out, get back on the hay bale to continue killing the other zombies.
This is a fairly safe XP farm, so it’s a great way to rank up fast in Black Ops 7 Zombies! Just remember to exfil by round 35. That’s when the diminishing returns for XP gain start to slow down your leveling, after all.
