Zombies slayers, if you haven't dropped everything to grind Week 2 challenges in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1, you're missing the most gloriously broken weapon drop since the Ray Gun. The Akita Scorchlink Akimbo attachment turns the already ferocious full-auto Akita shotgun into a dual-wield apocalypse machine—belt-fed overheat mechanics packing 100 rounds per gun, incinerating hordes in a hail of pellets that laugh at elite zombies and bosses alike. Unlocked fresh on December 11 as part of Season 1's Week 2 rewards, this bad boy elevates Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum to god-tier farming frenzy. Treyarch didn't just buff shotguns; they handed us the keys to high-round eternity.
Picture this: Pack-a-Punched Hachiko Akitas spitting fire non-stop, mobility so slick you slide through zombie walls like butter, and DPS that one-shots Manglers while clearing screens in Cursed Mode. Solo Easter Eggs? Laughable. Squad EE rushes? Effortless. I've pushed Round 100+ on Astra Malorum without breaking a sweat—pure joy. Let's break down why this dual-doggo doom-bringer reigns supreme and how to wield it like a pro.
Snag the Akita Scorchlink Akimbo by smashing all six Week 2 challenges across modes—no mode-locking, mix 'em up for efficiency. Campaign skips? Warzone Resurgence? Zombies grinds? All count. Pro tip: Squad up in Zombies for shared progress; bots make it a breeze.

| 2 | Multiplayer | 100 Point-Blank Kills | 10 mins (Domination bots) |
| 3 | Warzone | 25 Hipfire Eliminations | 20 mins (Resurgence) |
| 4 | Campaign | Complete 2 Endgame Missions | 25 mins (Co-op) |
| 5 | Zombies | 300 Eliminations in High Rounds | 30 mins (Round 30+) |
| 6 | Any | Unlock Military Camos on 3 Shotguns | 15 mins (mix) |
Total grind: Under 2 hours. Miss it? Armory unlocks later, but why wait? Equip in Gunsmith—mag slots lock to Scorchlink.
Akita hits at Weapon Level 40, maxes at 43. Base: High mobility, hipfire beast, but recoil tamer needed. PaP Hachiko? 42-round mag, 240 reserve—crowd-clear king. Akimbo doubles the hellfire.
The numbers don't lie—this setup melts 50+ round hordes. Overheat caps spam, but reloads are lightning-fast post-cool.
