How to Get the Good Soldiers Trophy in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies

Black Ops 7's Ashes of the Damned is stuffed with secrets, and one of the most satisfying is the Good Soldiers trophy - a small but memorable side-quest that's all about Tank Dempsey's haunted past. It's a tightly scripted, spooky encounter that gives you free loot and pops the trophy when you complete it correctly. Below you'll find a clear, SEO-friendly walkthrough that tells you exactly what to do and why each step matters.

What you need before starting

·Operator: You must be playing as Dempsey - this easter egg is tied to his character.

·Map: Ashes of the Damned (Zombies).

·Recommended: Players who want a faster setup can use Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies or even buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies to quickly level weapons before attempting the quest.

Summary

1. Play as Dempsey.

2. Drive Ol' Tessie from Ashwood toward the Zarya Cosmodrome and stop at the Crashed Rocket (southeast route).

3. Find the dog tags near three charred corpses at the crash site and interact (hold reload).

4. You'll be teleported into a vision realm - follow the floating black orb and kill the spawned zombies. Repeat until the scripted sequence finishes, become a Disciple, kill the remaining enemies, then return to the map for rewards and the trophy.

Detailed step-by-step walkthrough

1. Select Dempsey and load Ashes of the Damned

This egg is character-locked - picking anyone else will simply prevent the sequence from triggering. Make Dempsey your Operator before joining the match.

2. Get to the Crashed Rocket (southeast of Ashwood)

Hop into Ol' Tessie and travel from Ashwood toward the Zarya Cosmodrome. The crash sits on the right side of the path labeled Crashed Rocket (the road that leads to the Cosmodrome). Park nearby and look for three burnt corpses on the snow.

3. Interact with the dog tags (hold reload)

At the corpses' location, a pair of dog tags belonging to Dempsey lies in the snow. Use the interact prompt (hold the reload/interact button) - this immediately triggers a short cutscene where Dempsey picks up the tags and is pulled into a vision. This is the moment the Good Soldiers sequence begins.

4. Enter the vision: follow the black floating orb

After the cutscene, you'll be transported to a ghostly area. A black floating orb will appear and begin to lead you. Follow it closely and kill the waves of zombies it directs you toward. The script typically asks you to follow and defeat zombies three times; after the third encounter, the sequence escalates.

5. Become a Disciple and finish the trial

At a certain point, the Veytharion (or the vision's voice) completes the scene and turns you into a Disciple. You'll gain special abilities momentarily - use them to finish off any remaining zombies that spawn. Once you clear the final group while in Disciple form, the vision en, ds and you'll be returned to the main map.

6. Collect rewards and confirm the trophy

When you return, loot will spawn at the crash site - expect random rewards such as Salvage, Essence, and occasionally Legendary weapons or scorestreaks. The Good Soldiers trophy/achievement should unlock as the scripted rewards appear. If it doesn't, double-check you played as Dempsey and completed the Disciple kills.

Tips & troubleshooting

·Dempsey only: If you don't see the dog tags or the vision doesn't trigger, you're almost always not using Dempsey. Switch Operators and retry.

·Clear the area first: Make sure zombies around the crash area are cleared before interacting, so the cutscene and vision run without interruption.

·Team play: Only the Dempsey player triggers the sequence, but teammates can protect them while the vision runs and can pick up the spawned rewards afterward.

·Round scaling: Rewards and enemy difficulty scale with round - expect tougher foes but better loot on higher rounds.

Why this easter egg matters

The Good Soldiers trophy is more than just a quick achievement:

·It adds emotional depth to Dempsey's storyline

·It provides a nostalgia-rich, atmospheric moment

·It gives free mid-game loot

·It's one of the fastest character-specific trophies in BO7 Zombies

Whether you're exploring organically or grinding efficiently with Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies, this is a fun, rewarding quest that every Zombies fan should experience at least once.
