he Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 Week 3 challenges are now available, giving players a new set of objectives to complete across multiple game modes.

Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 Week 3 Reward
The main Week 3 reward is the EAM IR-VIZ Reflex, a compact thermal optic designed to improve enemy visibility without producing a noticeable optic glint for other players.
How do you unlock the EAM IR-VIZ Reflex?
To unlock the EAM IR-VIZ Reflex in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, complete any six Week 3 challenges.
You can mix and match challenges from Multiplayer, Warzone, Zombies, and Co-op/Endgame. You do not need to complete all six challenges in the same game mode.
Completing Week 3 also contributes toward the Season 5 universal camo rewards:
- Murder camo: Earn four weekly rewards.
- Nectar camo: Complete all eight weeks of Season 5 challenges.
All Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Week 3 Challenges
Players completing the Season 5 Week 3 Multiplayer challenges need to:
- Earn 15 Double Kill medals or better with SMGs.
- Get 250 kills with Marksman Rifles.
- Restore 2,000 health using Stims.
- Eliminate enemies affected by a Counter UAV or Scrambler, or earn 15 assists involving those devices.
- Get three kills with Semtex or Thermo Grenades.
- Get three kills without reloading with an LMG twice.
Best way to complete the Multiplayer Week 3 challenges
Focus on high-action Multiplayer modes where enemies spawn frequently and engagements happen at close to medium range. This makes SMG Double Kills, equipment eliminations, and LMG streaks easier to complete while simultaneously progressing other Week 3 objectives.
All Warzone Season 5 Week 3 Challenges
The Warzone Week 3 challenges are:
- Get 40 kills with SMGs.
- Purchase items from two different Buy Stations in a single match five times.
- Get 15 kills with LMGs.
- Open 10 Legendary Supply Boxes.
- Get two headshot kills in a single match.
- Get kills during the first circle in five different matches.
How to complete Warzone Week 3 challenges faster
Prioritize early-game fights with an SMG while rotating through areas with multiple Buy Stations. This can help you make progress toward several challenges during the same match instead of completing each objective separately.
All Zombies Season 5 Week 3 Challenges
The Black Ops 7 Zombies Week 3 challenges focus on surviving higher rounds, weapon-specific kills, and special gameplay mechanics.
Players need to:
- Reach Round 30 and successfully Exfil on Kowakujo.
- Rapidly kill two Special Zombies with SMGs five times.
- Survive 15 rounds in Cursed with the Rampage Inducer active.
- Get 50 kills with Brain Rot.
- Get 250 kills with lethal equipment.
- Earn 25 Massacre Medals with Marksman Rifles.
Best strategy for Zombies Week 3 challenges
Build your loadout around objectives that can overlap during the same Zombies run. Weapon kills, lethal equipment eliminations, and higher-round survival challenges can potentially be progressed together, reducing the number of matches needed.
All Co-op and Endgame Week 3 Challenges
The Black Ops 7 Co-op and Endgame Week 3 challenges are:
- Get 500 kills with Rare or higher-rarity SMGs.
- Complete Cargo Intercept or Mystery Cargo five times.

When Do Black Ops 7 and Warzone Weekly Challenges Reset?
Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 5 weekly challenges are released every Thursday.
Previous weekly challenges remain available until the end of the season, meaning players can return to earlier weeks without losing their accumulated progress.
Because challenges from different game modes can be combined, players can choose the objectives that best fit how they play to unlock the EAM IR-VIZ Reflex faster, earn additional XP, and make progress toward the Season 5 universal camos.
