What Makes Week 4 Special
The Redwell Shade-X Suppressor suppresses weapon sound and improves recoil, though it reduces damage range and velocity. This trade-off makes it perfect for aggressive close-quarters loadouts where stealth matters more than long-range performance. For SMG and assault rifle players who push objectives hard, this attachment becomes essential.
BO7 Complete Week 4 Challenge Breakdown
| Mode | Challenges | XP Per Task | Best Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Co-op & Endgame | 6 tasks | 2,500-5,000 XP | Focus on Colossus of Avalon events |
| BO7 Multiplayer | 6 tasks | 2,500-5,000 XP | Objective modes like Hardpoint/Domination |
| BO7 Zombies | 6 tasks | 2,500-5,000 XP | Round-based survival on Astra Malorum |
| Warzone | 6 tasks | 2,500-5,000 XP | Resurgence contracts on updated maps |
| Total Potential | 24 tasks | 88,000 XP | Complete any 6 for suppressor |
Fastest Completion Path
You only need to complete six out of the 24 tasks to unlock the Redwell Shade-X Suppressor—there’s no requirement to complete them within a single mode. This flexibility lets you cherry-pick the easiest challenges across all four categories rather than forcing yourself through difficult mode-specific tasks.
Pro Strategy: Prioritize Warzone contract challenges during Resurgence matches. These typically complete faster than lengthy Zombies rounds or specific multiplayer objective requirements. Contracts stack quickly when you’re squadded up with communicative teammates.
Endgame Players: Make sure you have at least a Combat Rating of 45+ for smooth clears before attempting cooperative tasks. The new Colossus of Avalon world event provides excellent opportunities for multi-kills and objective completions that satisfy multiple challenge requirements simultaneously.
XP Optimization Tip: Completing all 24 challenges earns a total of 88,000 XP, which dramatically accelerates Battle Pass progression. If you’re pushing for the Kogot-7 SMG or Maddox RFB assault rifle unlocks, this week represents your best opportunity to level up efficiently.
Timeline and Important Details
Weekly challenges reset every Thursday at 11am CT, but won’t expire after every week—they remain available until Season 1 ends. This means if you miss Week 4 initially, you can still complete it later alongside subsequent weekly challenges without losing access to rewards.
The suppressor joins previous weekly rewards including the Ballistic Knife (Week 1), Scorchlink Akimbo attachment (Week 2), and various universal camos. Collecting all weekly items throughout Season 1 unlocks two additional animated universal camos as mastery rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: If I don’t complete Week 4 challenges this week, will I permanently lose access to the Redwell Shade-X Suppressor?
No, you won’t lose access. Unlike previous Call of Duty titles where weekly challenges expired after seven days, Black Ops 7’s system keeps all weekly challenges active throughout the entire season. This means you can complete Week 4 challenges in January, February, or anytime before Season 1 concludes. The weekly refresh only adds new challenges—it doesn’t remove previous ones. However, once Season 1 ends completely (estimated mid-February 2026), all unclaimed Season 1 weekly rewards become permanently unobtainable.
Q: Does the Redwell Shade-X Suppressor work on all weapon types, or only specific categories?
The Redwell Shade-X Suppressor functions as a universal attachment available for most primary weapons that accept muzzle attachments—this includes assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs, and tactical rifles. However, shotguns, melee weapons, and certain special weapons cannot equip it due to their unique attachment slot configurations. Once unlocked, you’ll find it in the muzzle attachment category when customizing eligible weapons in your loadout menu. The suppressor’s recoil improvement particularly benefits high fire-rate weapons like the Jackal PDW and C9, making them significantly more controllable during extended firefights.
