Exit Strategy

Exit Strategy is an Epic GobbleGum about leaving the match: it starts the Exfil vote in Black Ops 6, and exfils the player at once in Black Ops 7.

Exit Strategy is an Epic GobbleGum of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 Zombies, built around the Exfil. In Black Ops 6 it starts the Exfil vote at once and thins out the zombies during the Exfil; in Black Ops 7 it simply takes the player out of the match.

The gum

Purple marks an Epic gum and white swirls an instant one. Fandom shows the same icon on its Black Ops 7 list.

Effect, game by game

GameRarityActivationEffect
Black Ops 6Epic1x ActivationActivates the Exfil vote immediately. Reduces zombie spawns during the Exfil.
Black Ops 7Epic1x ActivationImmediately exfils the player from the match, without going through the Exfil process. In Black Ops 7, a gum can also be crushed instead of used: an Epic gum gives 1,250 Essence.

Fandom names Exit Strategy among the few gums changed in Black Ops 7: it no longer helps the team through the Exfil, it ends the match for the player who uses it. On the Black Ops 6 maps, Fandom says the Exfil normally opens only from round 11.

How to get it

  • Black Ops 6: a bonus unlock at Level 23 (Master Gunnery Sergeant II), all gums being unlocked at Level 1, and in the Bite Chews pack of Prestige 8, Level 20.
  • Black Ops 7: the gum stock is shared with Black Ops 6, and Fandom notes that every Black Ops 6 gum is available in Black Ops 7. It was a Top 30 reward of the Mars event (February 5 to 9, 2026).

Trivia

  • Dead Ops Arcade 4, the arcade mode of Black Ops 7, has its own Exit Strategy gum with a different effect: chicken eggs also hatch coins.
