How to Unlock Shadow Rift in Black Ops 7 Zombies

The Shadow Rift is an Ammo Mod reintroduced in Black Ops 7 Zombies. When equipped, it creates black holes that pull in zombies and throw them through the air. This effect works on both normal and special zombies, dealing massive damage to their HP. You can further enhance its effectiveness by equipping specific Augments. There are eight of them available that you can unlock and equip with this Ammo Mod.

Unlocking Shadow Rift

You can unlock the Shadow Rift Ammo Mod after reaching Player Level 44. It functions similarly to how it did in the previous installment, bringing back the same powerful mechanism. When equipped, bullets fired from your weapon create a black hole that teleports some zombies away while dropping others from the air at great speed. This makes it effective against both normal and special zombies, especially when facing hordes and bosses.

Once unlocked, you can access the Shadow Rift mod during a match by interacting with the Arsenal Machine. To purchase it, you’ll need to spend 500 Salvage (the in-game currency).

Enhancing Shadow Rift with Augments

While the base power of the mod is strong, you can enhance its effectiveness by equipping various Augments. Each Ammo Mod in Black Ops 7 offers eight Augments to research: four Major and four Minor. Additionally, you can unlock an extra Minor Augment slot once you complete all other research enhancements.

Major Augments

• Big Game: Activates the Ammo Mod on Elite enemies more frequently.
• Topple Danger: Enemies taking Shadow Rift damage are warped toward nearby foes, knocking down normal enemies and stunning special enemies.
• Explosive Rain: Enemies dropped from portals explode on contact with the ground.
• Gravity Well (New): Transforms Shadow Rift into a black hole that pulls enemies in and teleports nearby survivors away.

Minor Augments

• Haste: Reduces the cooldown time of the Shadow Rift.
• Targeted: Enemies hit by the Ammo Mod fall onto other nearby enemies.
• Supermassive: Increases the singularity’s lethal radius to kill more zombies.
• Ammo Theorem (New): Teleporting enemies away reloads your weapon with ammo from your stock.

How to Research and Equip Augments

To infuse Augments into your Ammo Mod, first unlock the Augment Research Lab by reaching Player Level 11. Afterward, activate the Augment Research for the Shadow Rift, which requires unlocking a total of eighteen Augments.

Keep in mind that you can only equip two Augments at a time—one Major and one Minor—which apply to all Ammo Mods you use.
