Proving Grounds Event Guide in COD Black Ops 7
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launched with a boatload of content, from 30 weapons to grind through across all modes, 18 maps on release, followed by Nuketown arriving shortly after, and the biggest Zombies map to date with Ashes of the Damned. Whether you’re competing in Multiplayer, slaying the undead, or dropping into Avalon in Endgame, there is a lot to do.
Black Ops 7 players are currently awaiting the biggest Season 1 drop yet, and while it’s still a little way out, there is one more update for the pre-season of Black Ops 7. A new event is making its debut, and though Zombies players may be grinding through the Ashes of the Damned Easter Egg Quest, this event allows them to earn two free camos if they hop over to Multiplayer. Here is a quick guide to the Proving Grounds Event in Black Ops 7.

How Does the Proving Grounds Event Work in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7?
The Proving Grounds Event is a Multiplayer-exclusive event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and works in a similar way to the leaderboard events from Black Ops 6 Zombies. In Proving Grounds, players are placed into a leaderboard with 29 other players, where they must climb the ranks by earning Score in Multiplayer. Once the event ends, players will receive rewards based on their final placement.
On top of the standard leaderboard, players also have challenges they can complete to earn some additional rewards that are unlocked right away. This includes a free blueprint for the M15 MOD 0, Double XP Tokens, and more.

When Does the Proving Grounds Event End in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7?
The Proving Grounds Event officially begins on Tuesday, November 25, at 10 AM PT. The event runs towards the launch of Season 1, and ends on December 1 at 10 AM PT. This gives players just about a week to grind the event and earn those placement rewards. Once the event ends, the leaderboard rewards will be given out. However, since all rewards are exclusive to the Proving Grounds Event, anyone who misses out will be unable to claim them afterward.
