Eidskallen Event Guide: Free Camos, Blueprint, and More in Black Ops 7
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 5 has arrived, and with it comes the Eidskallen Lighthouse Survival Map — a fresh arena to hold players over until the mid-season update delivers the next round-based Zombies map. To mark the occasion, Treyarch has launched the Eidskallen Event, a limited-time challenge that rewards free Camos, a Weapon Blueprint, GobbleGums, and other cosmetics. If you're diving into the Survival Map anyway, you might as well earn some exclusive loot while you're at it. Here's every reward available and how to secure them.
How the Eidskallen Event Works in Black Ops 7 Zombies
The Eidskallen Event follows the same leaderboard-based format introduced with the Kowakujo Event. Instead of grinding a traditional battle pass, you earn points by playing the Eidskallen Lighthouse Survival Map and competing against other players for placement on rotating leaderboards. Your final rank at the end of each leaderboard determines what rewards you unlock.
Points are awarded for specific in-game actions. Here's the breakdown:
- Zombie Eliminations: 1 Point
- Special Zombie Eliminations: 25 Points
- T.E.D.D. Task Completions: 50 Points
- Special Round Completions: 100 Points
Leaderboards run every three hours from now until July 30 at 10 AM PT. If you don't place first in one session, don't worry — a new leaderboard starts an hour after the previous one ends, giving you another shot. This cycle repeats continuously until the event concludes, so you have plenty of opportunities to climb the ranks.

All Eidskallen Event Rewards
Rewards are tiered based on your leaderboard placement at the end of each three-hour session. The higher you finish, the better the loot. Here's the full list of rewards and the placement required for each:
Leaderboard Placement Rewards
- 1st Place: Perkaholic (GobbleGum)
- Top 5: Hidden Power (GobbleGum), Ragnarok (Camo)
- Top 10: On the House (GobbleGum), Personal Light (Weapon Charm)
- Top 15: Harbinger (Camo), Soda Fountain (GobbleGum)
- Top 30: Scream of the Draugr (Sticker), Frigid Research (DS20 Mirage Blueprint)
The Frigid Research Blueprint for the DS20 Mirage is arguably the highlight — it's a full weapon skin that changes the look of one of the game's newer weapons. The Ragnarok and Harbinger Camos are also worth chasing if you're building out your collection. All rewards are exclusive to this event, meaning they won't be obtainable after July 30.
When Does the Eidskallen Event End?
The event runs until the final leaderboard concludes on Thursday, July 30 at 10 AM PT. After that, all placement rewards will be distributed to eligible players. Since everything on offer is cosmetic or consumable (GobbleGums), there's no gameplay advantage tied to participation — but if you're a completionist or just want to flex some rare gear, this is your only window.
Keep in mind that the Eidskallen Lighthouse Survival Map is the exclusive venue for earning points. If you're grinding camos or completing challenges on other maps, those points won't count toward the event leaderboard. Stick to the Survival Map and focus on eliminating Special Zombies and completing T.E.D.D. Tasks for the highest point yields.
Tips for Climbing the Leaderboard
If you're aiming for the top 5 or even first place, efficiency matters. Special Zombie eliminations (25 points each) and T.E.D.D. Task completions (50 points each) offer the best point-per-effort ratio. Regular zombie kills only net 1 point, so don't waste time farming basic enemies unless you're waiting for a special round to spawn.
Special Round completions are worth 100 points, making them the single most valuable activity. Prioritize triggering and surviving these rounds whenever possible. The three-hour leaderboard window means you'll need to play aggressively and consistently — short, high-score runs will outperform long, casual sessions.
For context, this event structure mirrors the AI arms race in competitive gaming, where every point and placement matters. The rotating leaderboard system ensures that even if you miss the top spot in one session, you can reset and try again — a welcome change from single-chance events that punish a bad run.
What Makes the Eidskallen Event Worth Your Time?
Beyond the obvious appeal of free cosmetics, the Eidskallen Event gives the new Survival Map a sense of purpose. Without the event, the map is just another Zombies arena — fun, but lacking long-term incentive. The leaderboard system adds a competitive edge that keeps you coming back, especially if you're chasing that Frigid Research Blueprint or the Ragnarok Camo.
For players who missed earlier events like the Kowakujo Event, this is also a chance to catch up on the new reward structure. Treyarch has been iterating on these leaderboard challenges throughout Call of Duty Season 5, and the Eidskallen Event feels like the most refined version yet. The three-hour windows are short enough to fit into a gaming session but long enough to feel meaningful.
Don't Miss Out on These Exclusive Rewards
The Eidskallen Event runs until July 30 at 10 AM PT, and after that, everything listed here is gone for good. Whether you're after the Frigid Research Blueprint, the Ragnarok Camo, or just some free GobbleGums to stock up for future Zombies runs, now's the time to jump into the Eidskallen Lighthouse Survival Map and start climbing those leaderboards. Focus on Special Zombies and T.E.D.D. Tasks, and you'll be well on your way to securing the top-tier rewards.
