Rex Infernus Zombies Map is the final Round-Based Zombies map in Black Ops 7, released on August 20 with Season 5 Reloaded and now fully playable in Season 6. The map sends the crew from Her House into the Nexus Forge, through four Shadowsmith temples and finally into the Warden confrontation.
The live Rex Infernus Zombies Map is much more than the pre-release reveal suggested. Warden’s Blight is the map’s dual-crossbow Wonder Weapon, the Void Claw handles grapple traversal, Deathspinners and the Web Mother create the spider pressure, and the Titan Trap is both a crowd-control tool and a quest mechanic.

Rex Infernus Zombies Map is easiest to handle when you treat the steps above as one sequence rather than separate mysteries. The details below explain where each interaction happens, what actually advances the objective and the mistakes that most often waste a round.
How the live map progression works
The opening of Rex Infernus Zombies Map starts in Her House. After the early holdout, the ringing phone opens the route to the Nexus Forge. Placing the World Seed begins the Dread Skull sequence that ultimately powers Pack-a-Punch. From there, the map opens into a much larger quest built around the Void Claw, the Warden’s Blight build and the four Shadowsmith temples.
Season 6 also adds Directed Mode with on-screen Main Quest steps and a round cap of 15. That makes the live map easier to learn than it was at launch, but the underlying objectives are still the same systems players use in Standard: the Forge, grapples, temple interactions and the Warden finale.
Rex Infernus Zombies Map: Main Quest and reward path
The standard Rex Infernus Zombies Map Main Quest culminates in the Warden fight. Treyarch lists the Bloodthorn Wonder Weapon skin, a Calling Card and 10,000 XP as the primary completion rewards. The map also contains a separate Intel collection reward, while early completers before Directed Mode received an additional Calling Card variant.
Directed Mode is not a separate map. It is a guided route through the same Rex Infernus quest and awards the Netherclaw Warden’s Blight skin, a Directed Mode completion Calling Card and 5,000 XP. Starting Room is another separate Season 6 playlist that confines players to Her House for survival milestones.
Wonder Weapon, enemies and Titan Trap
Warden’s Blight is the signature Wonder Weapon for Rex Infernus Zombies Map. The build uses Pack-a-Punch access, the Void Claw, the Fracture of Nyxara, Astral Flame interactions, a forest part hunt and Dravakar’s symbol riddle before the weapon can be forged at the anvil.
Deathspinners are fast Special enemies with web projectiles that slow players, while the Web Mother is an Elite that lunges, screams, spreads damaging webbing and cocoons zombies. The Titan Trap draws enemies toward its impact and slams them, but players standing in the wrong place can also take damage.
What changed since the old pre-release page
The old version of this page was written before Rex Infernus Zombies Map launched, so details such as the exact release date, Warden’s Blight name, quest steps and live reward structure are now known. The current map is no longer an upcoming Season 5 feature: it is playable, its Main Quest has been solved, Directed Mode is live and Season 6 patches have already fixed several Rex Infernus progression issues.
That matters when using older search results. Any guide still describing the Wonder Weapon as unnamed, the release date as unknown or the Main Quest as speculative is describing the map before August 20. Current gameplay should be based on the live quest state and Treyarch’s later patch notes.

Rex Infernus Zombies Map: what to remember
Rex Infernus Zombies Map now has a complete live gameplay loop: open Pack-a-Punch, build Warden’s Blight, repair and align the Forge, cleanse the Shadowsmith temples and defeat the Warden. Use the specialist guides in the Related Guides box for the individual puzzle, enemy and side-Easter-egg steps.
The useful way to approach Rex Infernus Zombies Map is to follow the live interaction order, watch for the game-state cues described above and retry a failed step on the next round rather than forcing an old or pre-launch solution into the current build.
