You can grind your thumbs raw in Black Ops 7 and still lose fights you "should" win. That's the part nobody likes hearing. The map does half the work, and the other half is knowing what's actually shootable. If you've ever tried warming up or testing weird angles in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby, you'll know what I mean: some walls look like they'd stop a truck, but they fold the second bullets hit them. And once you learn one of those spots, the whole pace of a match changes.
Den is one of those areas that messes with your confidence. There's usually someone tucked into that comfy headglitch, hard-aiming the lane toward Tin like they've got a lease on the place. You shoulder peek, you get tagged. You wide swing, you get deleted. It's not even always great aim on their side, either. It's just the cover doing the heavy lifting while you're out in the open trying to "make a play." Most players keep repeating the same challenge, too, because it feels like the only way through. It isn't.
Right next to that Den power spot is the garage structure, and that's where the game pulls a fast one. The surface reads as thick, solid material, so people treat it like a safe backboard. In reality, the bullet penetration is way lighter than it looks. You don't need a heroic corner swing. You post up, put your crosshair where their torso would be on the other side, and start sending rounds through the panel. If they're posted and ADS'd, they're basically standing still for you. You'll see hitmarkers faster than you'd expect, and they usually panic late because they can't tell where it's coming from.
There are a few simple rules that keep this from turning into a throw. First, don't dump a whole mag every time you walk past—listen, look at your minimap, and only pre-fire when the timing makes sense. Second, shoot in short bursts so you can react if someone swings you while you're focused on the wall. Third, reposition after you get the down. People get salty, they call it "cheese," and then they come hunting for the return kill. If you stay planted, you're the freebie. If you move, you keep control.
Once you start treating Den like a position you can delete from safety, you'll stop donating lives to that headglitch and start taking space with less drama, and if you want a low-stress place to practice the lineup and see exactly how the bullets track through that garage surface, a u4gm CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies setup can make it easier to get the feel without the match chaos.
