FAQs
Q: Can you unlock the Thermal Breach Camo in Black Ops 7 multiplayer without playing Warzone? No — the Thermal Breach Camo is exclusively tied to Iron Gauntlet, a Warzone-only limited-time mode Sportskeeda; it cannot be unlocked through Black Ops 7 multiplayer or Zombies challenges at all.
Q: Do the 25 kills for Thermal Breach need to come in a single Iron Gauntlet match? No — the 25 eliminations are cumulative across all your Iron Gauntlet matches in Season 2 BGMI, meaning you can spread them across multiple sessions as long as you also secure the required 3 wins.
