Treyarch Fixes BO7 Endgame Disconnects & Saves Progress
Gaming's high-stakes action just got a vital safeguard! Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 players can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Treyarch rolled out a crucial update on November 25, 2025, directly addressing the frustrating issue of lost progress in the campaign's "Endgame" mode due to unexpected disconnects and crashes. This long-awaited patch ensures that dedicated players no longer face the devastating consequence of losing hard-earned advancements through no fault of their own.
The Critical Endgame Safeguard
This latest Black Ops 7 patch introduces a brand-new disconnect protection mechanism specifically tailored for Endgame. Players diving into the perilous Avalon maps will now have their current Combat Rating (CR) "snapshotted" at the very beginning of each match. This innovative solution means that should a game crash or network disconnect occur mid-session, players will retain the Combat Rating they had when they entered the match, effectively preventing the complete wipe of progress that plagued the experience previously. Treyarch confirmed they heard the player community's feedback, directly implementing this much-needed fix.
Understanding Endgame's High Stakes
For those unfamiliar, Black Ops 7's Endgame mode is designed with an "extraction-style shooter" ethos, blending high-risk gameplay with substantial rewards. Players embark on missions within Avalon, relentlessly grinding matches to enhance their characters' abilities and boost their Combat Rating. Successive extractions are key to retaining and growing this progress, with failure resulting in the loss of all accumulated gains for that run. The introduction of the disconnect protection is particularly critical here, as the integrity of the mode was compromised when players were losing everything not due to in-game failure, but to technical instabilities. The journey to reaching CR 60 and unlocking the coveted Genesis Mastery Camo is now significantly more secure.
Looking Ahead: Season 1 & Beyond
This essential update arrives just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1, slated to launch on December 4. The upcoming season promises a wealth of new content that will further expand the Endgame experience, alongside a broader infusion of fresh gameplay.
Season 1 additions include:
- New World Events within Endgame, adding dynamic challenges.
- Iconic boss battles, featuring the terrifying zombie T-Rex from Black Ops 6.
- The colossal Origins robot, a fan-favorite from Black Ops 2 Zombies, joins as another formidable boss encounter in Endgame.
- Seven new weapons for players to unlock and master.
- An array of new maps to explore.
- Further seasonal events to engage with.
- Full integration of Black Ops 7 content into Warzone.
Treyarch has also hinted that this initial disconnect protection is just the beginning, stating they are "exploring additional and more robust forms of disconnect protection" for future implementation. The developer's commitment to improving player experience and safeguarding progress in Black Ops 7's Endgame mode is a clear win for the community.
