Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 developers Raven Software and Treyarch have just dropped a huge blog on the upcoming military shooter's new multiplayer offerings. It's pretty explosive in details--literally, as the teams have modified a mechanic to make it way more deadly.
If you've played Black Ops 6, then you should be familiar with the Body Shield. Sneaking up behind your enemy, this mechanic lets you grab them and use their bodies to soak up bullets as you shoot your way through. It's already pretty brutal, but in Black Ops 7, it can become explosive as you tack a grenade onto your body shield's back for a fiery finish.
"Once you have your adversary locked into a Body Shield, you can jam a grenade onto them and shove them forward," the developers wrote in the post. "They’ll stagger for a few seconds before the grenade detonates and other enemies can be caught in the explosion."
Raven and Treyarch note that it's a "well-timed grenade," implying that a quick-time button press may be required for these fireworks. You can practice this until your fingers go blue in the Multiplayer Training menu. That way, you can always help your foes go out with a bang.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 comes out on November 14 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A beta will start on October 2, in case you wanted the fireworks a little early.
