Weapon camo challenges in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 usually fall into two extremes: laughably easy or needlessly frustrating. Unfortunately, objective kills are firmly in the second category. While the requirement sounds simple-kill enemies on objectives- many players struggle to make meaningful progress, often going entire matches with only a handful of registered kills.

The good news is that objective kills are completely manageable once you understand how the system actually works. This guide explains what counts as an objective kill, which modes are best, and the fastest strategies to farm them consistently.

What Are Objective Kills in Black Ops 7?

Before diving into strategy, it's critical to understand how objective kills are tracked.

An objective kill only registers when you eliminate an enemy who is actively holding or contesting an objective. The game is very strict about this.

Objective kills do count when:

·You kill an enemy standing on a flag in Dominatio.n

·You kill an enemy inside the active zone in Hardpoi. nt

·You eliminate a player while they are capturing or defending an objective

Objective kills do not count when:

·You kill enemies near an object, ve but not inside it

·You sit on the objective and kill enemies outside the zone

·You kill enemies rotating toward an objective

The easiest way to confirm success is by watching for the Assault Medal. If you don't see it pop up, the kill didn't count-no matter how close it looked.

Best Game Modes for Objective Kills

While multiple modes technically include objectives, only two are reliable for camo grinding.

Hardpoint (Best Mode Overall)

Hardpoint is the gold standard for farming objective kills in Black Ops 7. Objectives rotate constantly, forcing teams to stack inside small, predictable areas.

Why Hardpoint works so well:

·Enemies grow up tightly inside the zone

·Objectives are constantly contested

·Assault Medals are frequent

·Rotations are predictable, allowing pre-aiming

The most effective strategy is to wait until the enemy controls the Hardpoint, then push aggressively and clear the zone. Every kill inside the area counts, making it far more efficient than defending early.

Domination (Secondary Option)

Domination can work, but it's inconsistent.

Your success depends heavily on teammates. If your team triple-caps or locks down flags, enemies stop contestingobjectives, killing your progress.

The ideal Domination scenario:

·Let the enemy capture a flag

·Push immediately after capture

·Kill enemies while they are standing on it

Domination works best in chaotic lobbies where flags are constantly flipping.

Other Modes: Not Worth It

·Search and Destroy: Objective kills technically exist, but opportunities are extremely rare

·Team Deathmatch / Kill Confirmed / Control: Objective kills do not count

·Headquarters: Can work occasionally, but far less consistently than Hardpoint

For efficiency, stick to Hardpoint first, Domination second.

Using Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies for Objective Kills

For players who want a controlled and faster grind, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies are a popular alternative. These lobbies allow you to focus entirely on objective play without dealing with unpredictable matchmaking.

In bot lobbies, enemies:

·Consistently push objectives

·Stack inside zones

·Offer predictable behavior

This makes it easier to:

·Farm Assault Medals

·Practice objective pushes

·Complete multiple camo challenges in one session

Some players choose to buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies specifically to reduce grind time, especially for weaker weapons that struggle in public matches. While not required, it's an effective option if you're short on time or grinding several guns at once.

How to Earn Objective Kills Faster

1. Don't Capture Objectives Immediately

This is the biggest mistake players make.

If you capture the objective before enemies arrive, you eliminate your chance for objective kills. Let the enemy take control first, then push.

·In Hardpoint, avoid sitting in the zone early

·In Domination, don't insta-cap unless enemies are already contesting

2. Play Aggressively, Not Defensively

Objective kills reward assault gameplay, not passive defense.

·Push directly into objectives

·Pre-aim common holding angles

·Slide or jump to break crossfires

·Trade kills aggressively

Dying inside the objective is better than surviving outside it.

3. Optimize Your Weapon Attachments

You'll be fighting enemies who are already set up, so your loadout matters.

Prioritize:

·Fast ADS speed

·Sprint-to-fire time

·Recoil control for close quarters

·Extended magazines for multi-kill pushes

Avoid slow, long-range builds unless your weapon excels at holding tight angles.

4. Build an Objective-Focused Class

Your class should be designed for chaotic, close-range fights.

Recommended setup:

·Mobility-focused perks

·Stun or flash grenades to clear zones

·Lethals that force enemies out of cover

·Survivability perks against explosives

Every extra second you survive inside the objective increases your chances of chaining objective kills.

5. Follow Objectives, Not Red Dots

Instead of chasing kills, follow the objective flow.

·Watch Hardpoint timers and rotations

·Listen for "Enemy capturing flag" audio cues

·Predict where enemies will stack next

Arriving early gives you a massive advantage.

Final Thoughts

Objective kills in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feel frustrating only when approached incorrectly. By focusing on Hardpoint, letting enemies take objectives first, and running aggressive close-range loadouts, you can turn one of the most annoying camo challenges into a reliable and efficient grind.
