The Freerun Ascent Challenge Event is now live exclusively in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer, bringing a set of limited-time rewards, including an animated camo. The event revolves around completing specific objectives on the new Ascent map in the returning Freerun mode, which dropped with Season 3 Reloaded.
Here’s a breakdown of how the Freerun Ascent Challenge works in Black Ops 7 and how to unlock every reward.

BO7 Freerun Ascent Challenge Event start and end dates
The Freerun Ascent Challenge Event kicked off on May 5 at 12pm CT and will run until May 14 at the same time. That gives you just over a week to complete the challenges and claim all available rewards. Keep in mind: once the event ends, these rewards are no longer obtainable.
How the Freerun Ascent Challenge works in BO7
To participate, jump into the Freerun game mode and take on the Ascent course. Each run has a 20-minute time limit, so you’ll need to complete the course while also working toward specific event objectives.
You can track your progress through the Event tab in-game. Some challenges can be completed in a single run if you plan efficiently, while others will require multiple attempts across several matches.
