Black Ops 7 Zombies continues the tradition of hiding fun, thematic mini-challenges across its sprawling open-world maps. One of the most entertaining side-activities in Ashes of the Damned is the return of Mr. Peeks, a mischievous entity who has been popping up throughout the Dark Aether storyline. This time, he's hosting a full-on axe-throwing contest - and if you can beat his challenge, you'll unlock the coveted Bullseye Calling Card, along with free loot and XP to kick-start your run.

This guide explains exactly how to start the Mr. Peeks easter egg, how to complete the target-hitting challenge, and how to guarantee your Bullseye Calling Card every time.

What Is the Bullseye Calling Card in BO7 Zombies?

The Bullseye Calling Card is a Dark Ops cosmetic reward tied to a hidden challenge found only in the Ashes of the Damned map. Completing it also awards:

·3,000 XP

·A pile of Essence (dropped by Mr. Peeks)

·A free early-game bonus, since Essence can be spent on perks, Pack-a-Punch weapon upgrades, and doors.

Because the event takes place in the early-game Blackwater Lake zone, it's one of the fastest ways to grab a rare cosmetic while also getting a strong economic boost for perks, Pack-a-Punch upgrades, or travel routes. Many players who buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies use this challenge to practice early-game routing before jumping into tough multiplayer or co-op sessions.

How to Start the Mr. Peeks Axe-Throwing Event

To begin this easter egg, you'll need to make your way to one specific zone:

1. Travel to Blackwater Lake

Blackwater Lake is located west of Janus Towers Plaza. The earliest access route requires you to drive Ol' Tessie through the connecting road that opens once you progress through the Ashes of the Damned main areas. Head toward the lake's docks and the small Toolshed on the south side.

2. Enter the Toolshed

Inside the shed, look to the south wall. Sitting on a shelf, you'll spot a golden trophy. This is your main trigger object for the challenge.

3. Interact With the Golden Trophy

Hold the interact/reload button to activate the easter egg. You'll hear Mr. Peeks laugh, confirming the start of the axe-throwing challenge. Immediately after, a Combat Axe will spawn in a tree log just outside the shed when facing the west wall.

Pick it up - this axe is the key to the challenge and cannot be broken.

How to Complete the Bullseye Calling Card Challenge

Once you pick up the Combat Axe, the minigame officially begins.

4. Locate the Floating Purple Target

A glowing, floating purple target will appear somewhere within the Blackwater Lake area. These targets stay within a small radius around the Toolshed, boat docks, the lake's perimeter, and the nearby shoreline.

Your objective is to hit every target the game spawns.

5. Throw the Combat Axe at Each Target

Aim carefully and throw the axe to score hits. After you tag a target, another one will spawn in a different spot around the lake. You must keep hitting each one as they appear.

Don't stress about missing:

·You can retrieve the axe from wherever it lands.

·If it goes out of bounds or becomes inaccessible, simply hug the wooden fence near the shed - this causes the axe to reappear or become collectible again.

6. Continue Hitting Targets Until the Event Ends

The number of targets you must hit is fixed but random enough to prevent cheesing or shortcutting. You'll know you're on the final target when the screen shakes slightly, and you hear a distinctive Peeks audio cue.

What Happens When You Complete the Challenge?

After you hit the final target:

7. Mr. Peeks Spawns

He appears directly in the Blackwater Lake area. Don't panic - he is not hostile to this event. Instead, he functions like a reward drop.

8. Collect Your Essence

When Mr. Peeks vanishes, he leaves behind a large pile of Essence, giving you a huge boost for the early rounds. This is especially helpful for:

·Early perk purchases

·Crafting at the Workbench

·Upgrading weapons

·Opening travel routes

9. Receive the Bullseye Calling Card

The moment the event completes, the game grants you:

·Bullseye Calling Card (Dark Ops)

·3,000 XP reward

This Calling Card is permanent and can be equipped in the main menu.

Quick Step-by-Step Summary

For fast reference:

1. Travel to Blackwater Lake (west of Janus Towers Plaza).

2. Enter the Toolshed and interact with the golden trophy.

3. Pick up the Combat Axe stuck in the log outside.

4. Find and throw the axe at the glowing purple targets around the lake.

5. Repeat until all targets are hit.

6. Mr. Peeks spawns and drops Essence.

7. Receive 3,000 XP and the Bullseye Calling Card.

Final Tips for Success

·Do the challenge early to maximize the usefulness of the free Essence.

·Clear zombies first, especially on higher rounds, so you can throw in peace.

·Try to stand on higher ground near the shed for better visibility of targets.

·Play co-op if you want added protection, but only you will get credit for the Calling Card if you perform the final hits.

·Beginners can practice throws in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies before attempting the challenge in high-round lobbies.
