How to kill OSCAR in CoD BO7 Astra Malorum explained

by

Astra Malorum is a new map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 that feels very different from Ashes of the Damned. It’s a smaller, more action-packed map set on a floating skull that circles Saturn. A major addition is OSCAR, a powerful and difficult-to-defeat enemy who roams the map and can quickly take you down with his attacks.

The enemy will send out small, drone-like UFOs to defend OSCAR, and you’ll need to take them out before you can hurt him. Also, if OSCAR shoots you, it will cause Zombies to start attacking you.

OSCAR is a slow-moving enemy that’s easy to dodge, but he can still be frustrating to handle. Defeating him isn’t impossible, but it takes some work.

How to kill OSCAR in CoD Black Ops 7 Astra Malorum

OSCAR can be killed in several ways with traps around the map:

  • Use the telescope on the organ near the pack-a-punch machine and focus it on the sun. Have OSCAR walk into the center of the room under the beam which is fired.
  • Collect three Absolute Zero shards from Aetherium Crystals around the map by shooting them with a weapon with Cryofreeze ammo mod. Use these on the rocket in the museum and have OSCAR walk by it’s rear.
  • Place the damaged drone, wires, and car battery inside the projector in the Luminarium and activate the laser trap.

The simplest method involves a beam of sunlight found in the Pack-a-Punch room. After collecting the harmonic components scattered throughout the map, use them on the organ within the power room to activate the electricity.

Start by shooting the moving parts on the walls, in the order they activate. When OSCAR gets close, use the telescope near the organ keys and aim the cursor at the sun. If you’re disconnected, you can immediately look back through the telescope to find the sun again.

This action will activate a light beam that targets the platform in front of the organ and Pack-a-Punch machine, immediately eliminating OSCAR when he steps into its path.

Absolute Zero shards are hidden throughout the map inside Aetherium Crystals. To get them, shoot the crystals with a weapon that has the Cryofreeze ammo mod. Once you collect three shards, go to the museum and activate the rocket model while OSCAR is nearby.

Okay, so once I mess with that thing, a timer starts ticking down. When it hits zero, I need to get OSCAR over to the back of the rocket, right into that icy blast. It’ll, uh, take care of him instantly, let’s just say that.

To continue, you’ll need to collect three items scattered around the map. Start by shooting down one of OSCAR’s drones and then picking it up once it falls to the ground.

First, shoot the front bumper of Tessie with a fully upgraded weapon to obtain a battery. Then, find a blinking streetlight somewhere outside on the map and shoot it to collect the wires that fall. Finally, use the battery and wires on the projector inside the Luminarium, and defeat OSCAR using the laser trap in that same room.

Remember, each trap can only be used once every round, so make sure OSCAR is nearby when you set it off.

Defeating Oscar with any of these traps will cause him to drop the LGM-1, a brand-new powerful weapon.
