I didn't even try to play it cool when the Fallout crossover finally dropped in Black Ops 7. I booted up, headed straight into the event page, and started mentally counting how much grinding I could stomach before the weekend was over. If you're the type who likes to warm up in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby before chasing challenges, you'll get why this event feels like a proper time sink in the best way—big rewards, clear milestones, and a vibe that actually matches Fallout instead of just slapping a logo on a charm.
The setup's simple: a Free Pass and a Premium Pass. The free track gives you enough to feel involved, but the premium route is where the real character fantasy lives. It'll run you 1,100 CoD Points, which is roughly a tenner in the US and not far off in the UK. Painful, sure, but at least it's not a lazy recolour job. The operator models look different in silhouette, and that matters in the lobby. You'll notice it straight away.
If you're staying free-to-play, you still get a decent little ladder to climb. Level 01 starts you with the "Enjoy Your Stay" loading screen, then Level 02 hands out a Double Weapon XP token. Level 03 is the "Power Pose" emblem, Level 04 gives Double Level XP, and Level 05 unlocks the "Wanderer" operator skin, which honestly nails that dusty, survived-too-much look. After that it's the "Smooches" sticker at Level 06, the "Vault Boy" charm at Level 07, and then the stuff you actually equip: "Vault-Tec" weapon camo at Level 08 and the Sturmwolf 45 base weapon at Level 09, which you'll want unlocked before everybody figures out the best build.
Premium buyers get the headline right away: Power Armor Maximus as an operator the moment you pay. Then the tiers stack up nicely. Level 01 is the "Torch Blade" melee blueprint, Level 02 adds the "Minigun Teardown" finishing move (it's mean, and yes, people will spam it), and Level 03 drops "Brotherhood's Armament." Level 04 is the unarmoured "Maximus" skin, Level 05 the "Brotherhood Launch" calling card, and Level 06 the "Bobble-Head Bobble" emote for when you're feeling smug. Level 07 brings the "Power Armor Helm" charm, Level 08 gives the "Wasteland Buck" blueprint, and Level 09 is the real reason most folks are here: The Ghoul operator, which feels like you're playing a whole different game for a minute.
A quick heads-up: Lucy MacLean isn't in the pass, so if you're collecting the set, you'll be watching the shop later. And if you're juggling work, queues, and the usual grind, it helps to be smart about how you spend your time and points.
