Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Season 3 Reloaded update delivers Totenreich, a Norse mythology-inspired Zombies map set in a WWII-era fishing village. The marquee addition is the Jotunn Star, a melee-focused Wonder Weapon that players can build and upgrade throughout matches.
The Jotunn Star requires collecting hidden pieces scattered across Totenreich's environment. Crafting the weapon involves gathering specific components in designated locations, then assembling them at workbenches. The exact construction method ties into the map's Norse mythology theme, with pieces hidden in thematic locations that reflect the village setting.
Once constructed, players can upgrade the Jotunn Star using in-match currency and crafting materials. Upgrades enhance damage output, melee speed, or special effects tied to the weapon's mythological design. The upgrade system follows Black Ops 7's established Wonder Weapon progression, where higher-tier versions unlock additional abilities at specific round thresholds.
The Jotunn Star fills a gap in the current Wonder Weapon arsenal. Most recent additions to Zombies favor ranged options. This melee-centric alternative encourages aggressive, close-quarters playstyles and provides crowd control through close-range impact, distinguishing it from utility weapons like the Ray Gun or Pack-a-Punched assault rifles.
Totenreich's design emphasizes environmental storytelling around the weapon's Norse origins. Hidden piece locations reward exploration and map knowledge, pushing players beyond standard training routes. This discovery-based progression aligns with player feedback requesting more hidden content in recent Zombies maps.
The Jotunn Star's introduction maintains Black Ops 7's pattern of map-specific Wonder Weapons that blend thematic design with competitive viability. Early testing suggests the weapon performs strongly through mid-round gameplay
