Time travel is a core mechanic in Paradox Junction, and it’s achieved by reaching Round 7. After Round 7, players are automatically transported to the clean version of Nuketown. After, players will be able to seamlessly swap between the two versions of Nuketown via the rift in the Cul-De-Sac area.

If you want more information on how time travel works and how to do it easily, then we’ve got you covered. You’ll find out everything we know about time travel in Black Ops 7‘s Paradox Junction right here.

Paradox Junction features numerous perks for players to purchase, but their spawn points are a touch more randomized than previous maps.

How to Time Travel in Paradox Junction

  1. Players will be able to time-travel from Round 7.
  2. The first time travel is automatic, and after that, you can head to the north Cul-De-Sac area to find a rift.
  3. Interact with the rift, and you will be able to seamlessly teleport between the destroyed and clean versions of Nuketown.
  4. It costs 1,500 Essence to time-travel.
  5. If you’ve remained in one version of Nuketown for too long, you will automatically be teleported to the other version at the start of a fresh round, and you will be locked out of using time travel for one round.

How Does Time Travel Work in Paradox Junction?

  • Time travel is seamless, meaning that zombies will still attack you, and you can still move around as you begin the time travel process.
  • If you time-travel while in a house that’s not opened in the other version of Nuketown, you will teleport back to the Cul-De-Sac area.
  • The main difference between the two versions of Nuketown is the roster of Perk Machines available.
  • The Mystery Box will also spawn randomly, but will always be active in both versions of Nuketown.
  • Pack-a-Punch will also always be active in both versions of Nuketown in Trinity Avenue.
