Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's new 32-player co-op mode, Endgame, sounds like something truly unique to the franchise.
In Endgame, you can queue up with friends or drop in solo to the Avalon map, where enemies and XP await you. In this new experience, players can rank up weapons and camos while fighting PvE enemies, but leveling up your operator's Combat Rating means you can eventually tackle the map's higher-difficulty areas. But be careful, because if you die, your Combat Rating and inventory reset to zero.
To help you along the way in Endgame are Abilities and Skills you can unlock and rank up to give you the edge, and they sound crucial. Here's everything we know so far about how they work in Endgame.
