Mustang & Sally have finally returned to Call of Duty Zombies with Black Ops 7, and their arrival has been worth the wait. They’re overpowered in all the right ways, and they come back with their iconic firing sounds and explosive mayhem. However, to get them, you’re going to need to fight.

Mustang & Sally requires the 1911 Pistol, which is unlocked via Season 3’s Week 3 Challenges. Once you have the 1911, you need to reach Level 28 to unlock the Akimbo 1911s, and we’ll explain the methods for obtaining both below so these powerhouses can be yours.

Paradox Junction has three Relics for players to unlock in Cursed Mode, and we’ve got the steps you need to follow to unlock them all.

If you’re reading this after Season 3, then you can earn this weapon through the Armory, which is accessed via the “Career” tab, then “Challenges”.

Week 3 Zombies Challenges

Since you’re planning to get Mustang & Sally, you need to complete the Week 3 quests. As you’re not exactly interested in Multiplayer, Warzone, and Endgame’s quests, here’s how to complete the Zombies Week 3 Challenges:

Challenge	How to Complete	Reward
Get 200 Critical Kills in a single match using an SMG.	We achieved this easily in Paradox Junction by purchasing the Razor 9mm and upgrading it with Pack-a-Punch. Perks like Double Tap and Deadshot Daiquiri will easily help you complete this Challenge.	5,000 XP
Get 25 Carnage Medals (Killed 15 Zombies rapidly with a Weapon) with Hipfire.	Upgrade any weapon you like, but make sure to equip Fireworks at the Arsenal. Grab Elemental Pop to increase the chance of Fireworks, and then spam fire without aiming.	5,000 XP
Get 15 consecutive Critical Kills using a Sniper Rifle 10 times.	We used Pack-a-Punch on the Shadow SK with Iron Sights and Deadshot Daiquiri to make this Challenge a breeze on Paradox Junction. Just try not to miss your shots. It’s far easier to unlock after Round 12, when zombies spawn more frequently together.	3,500 XP
Reach Round 10 in Cursed with no Perks or Pack-a-Punch.	Don’t equip any Relics for this Challenge, as it will slow you down. Instead, focus on building points so you can purchase Armor and the Mystery Box. While the Challenge says “Reach Round 10”, you actually need to reach Round 11.	3,500 XP
Consume 3 Epic GobbleGums.	Epic GobbleGums are noted for their purple rarity, and you can consume any three of them to complete this Challenge. If you don’t have any but don’t want to purchase them, then we have a guide for that.	2,500 XP
Collect Loose Change 5 times.	Loose Change is acquired by going prone when facing a Perk Machine. This is easily done on Paradox Junction, as there are a multitude of Perk Machines within close distance.	2,500 XP

How to Get Mustang & Sally in Black Ops 7

In order to actually get Mustang & Sally, you’ll need to reach Level 28 with the 1911.
At Level 28, you can equip the Akimbo 1911 Stock Attachment.
When you Pack-a-Punch the dual-wield 1911s, you will get Mustang & Sally.
Remember to get PhD Flopper, as Mustang & Sally are explosive, and you will damage and potentially down yourself if you don’t!

The 1911 will become the default starting pistol in Cursed Mode as of Season 3 Reloaded. When you Pack-a-Punch the 1911 in Cursed Mode (after Season 3 Reloaded) it will automatically become the Mustang & Sally without the need for attachments.
