How to kill Oscar in BO7 Zombies and get the LGM-1 wonder weapon

Oscar is a tough mini boss on the Astra Malorum Zombies map in Black Ops 7 that is pretty darn hard to kill. When this funky lookin' fella spawns, he's immune to everything you throw at him, including bullets, grenades, and abilities. Turns out there are multiple ways to down this tough miniboss though, you just need to know how, because as always, nothing is simple in Zombies.

Thankfully, if you run away from Oscar quick enough, he doesn't actually follow you around the map, he simply patrols and if you bump into him again, you can flee with ease. Here's what you need to know about how to kill Oscar in Black Ops 7 and get your hands on the LGM-1 wonder weapon.

The best way to kill Oscar is by using one of the many traps found throughout the map. However, some are more effective than others, and you can damage Oscar with bullets too if traps aren't working for you. Note that Oscar will respawn after a few rounds though, and killing him with the below methods, one after the other, is required to obtain the LGM-1 wonder weapon.

The first thing you'll notice about Oscar is that he has flying drones around him. These generate his shield, which is what prevents him from taking damage, but they are weak to the Brain Rot elemental ammo mod. Take them down and you can damage Oscar with your guns… but it'll still take a while. You should also pick up the downed drone, as you'll need it for the third method listed here.

Your best bet is to deplete his shield, then lead him to one of the traps. First up is the sunlight beam next to the Pack-a-Punch machine, which requires shooting the steaming valves in the room once you've turned the power on. When complete, wait until Oscar is nearby, then use the telescope next to the organ and aim it at the sun. This will emit a beam of light down onto the platform between the organ and the Pack-a-Punch machine, dealing a swift one-hit-kill to Oscar.

The second method is to acquire a weapon with the Cryofreeze elemental ammo mod. Shoot Aetherium Crystals around the map — the shiny purple rocks — with Cryofreeze ammo and they'll drop Absolute Zero shards. Get three of these, go to the museum area, then interact with the model rocket. If Oscar is behind the rocket, he'll die from the blast. Classic.

Finally, for the third method, remember that drone you picked up earlier? It's one of three items you need. The second requires finding Ol' Tessie near where you spawn on Astra Malorum, which is the pick-up truck featured in both Ashes of the Damned and the opening cutscene to Astra Malorum. Shoot the hood of the car — with a Pack-a-Punched weapon — to receive a car battery. Then you must find a blinking lamppost somewhere on the map, but as there are quite a few lampposts, it can be any one of them. This will drop Aberrant Wires.

With all three items acquired, you can go to the Luminarium, activate the trap, and simply wait until Oscar has been overcharged and thus, destroyed.

Alternatively, you can use some of the slightly more simple traps that just require payment, but you won't be able to get the LGM-1 wonder weapon this way. The Apogee Annihilator, found in the rocky area outside of the observatory, commences a bombardment of rockets in the area, and as long as Oscar is nearby, it'll deal some serious damage.
