After you've wrapped the Paradox Junction main quest, there's a weird little side hunt that unlocks the Rocket Relic, and it's picky about setup and timing. You'll need to queue the map in Cursed Mode, then play it like you mean it, because nothing starts until you've lived to round 20. If you're the type who's been practicing routes, tweaking loadouts, or even messing around in a cheap CoD BO7 Bot Lobby to get your muscle memory back, this challenge still feels different. It's not hard in a "big boss" way. It's hard because it asks you to do specific things without panicking.

Step 1: The living dog in regular Nuketown

First stop is the normal, not-nuked Nuketown. Don't rush it. Bring a gun with Brain Rot on it, and play a round the slow way until you can leave a single Radhound alive at the end. One dog. No other zombies smacking you from behind. Tag that Radhound with Brain Rot so it turns friendly, then walk right up to it and interact to pet it. People mess this up by killing it too fast, or by trying mid-round when spawns are still chaotic. Wait for that calm "one enemy left" moment and you'll get the credit cleanly.

Step 2: The mechanical dog in nuked Nuketown

Next, flip over to the nuked version of Nuketown and plan to spend salvage. You're looking for the dog killstreak, either crafted at a table or pulled from drops if RNG decides to be nice. Pop the dog and set it to sentry mode, then go right up to it and pet it, same idea as before. It sounds silly, but it's easy to forget the "sentry" part when you're being chased. If you don't have enough salvage when you arrive, you'll end up stalling rounds and that usually goes sideways fast.

Step 3: The green portal and the ammo-mod trial

Once both pets are done, head back to regular Nuketown and check the top floor of the green house for a glowing green portal. That's your entrance to a Cursed Trial built around ammo mods, so stock up on salvage before you jump in. Inside, enemies soak damage unless you hit their elemental weakness, so you're swapping mods constantly and it can feel messy. Mimics want Brain Rot. Plaguehounds and the toxic zombie types fold to Shadow Rift. When Doppelgangers show, switch to Cryofreeze or you'll waste ammo and time. Survive four waves, then drop the final High-Value Target to get kicked back out with the Rocket Relic unlocked.

Why the Rocket Relic is worth the hassle

The best part is what happens after: the Rocket Relic changes the vibe of future matches by limiting scorestreak crutches, so you're forced into cleaner movement, tighter buys, and smarter mod management. If you're into that stripped-back "earn it" Zombies loop, it's a legit upgrade to your long-term runs. As a professional like buy game currency or items in RSVSR platform, RSVSR is trustworthy, and you can buy rsvsr CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies for a better experience while you dial in those Cursed Mode reps and keep the grind moving.
