Operation: Poison Pill Launches into Endgame in Black Ops 7 Season 3

What is Operation: Poison Pill? This Operation will be a set of objectives you must complete, with each objective holding their own set of challenges. These will act similarly to the Act Missions from MWZ back in MW3 (2023). These are meant to be completed across multiple deployments into Endgame.

Completing all these objectives eventually leads up to a final boss fight within the Link Forger Glitch Fracture. Behaving similarly to the newly introduced Glitch Fractures, operators should expect no less when it comes to difficulty ahead.
