Operation Wall Breaker is Act 3 of BO7 Endgame, released June 4, 2026 with Season 04. It is the final chapter of the JSOC vs. Guild storyline, and it ends with the Command Killer Glitch Fracture. If you played through Operation Broken Mirror, this is where that story wraps up.
Good news: Wall Breaker is more accessible than Broken Mirror. It starts at Zone I instead of Zone III, so lower-level operators can actually begin the operation right away. The difficulty scales up through Zone II, III, IV, and eventually Nightmare Zone for the final Glitch Step. Our team jumped in on launch day and the early steps felt like a smooth warmup, but once you hit Zone III, the challenge picks up fast. The competition for contracts is the real problem right now, not the enemies.
- 9 steps + Command Killer Glitch Step (Nightmare Zone finale)
- Starts at Zone I, scales up to Zone IV and Nightmare
- Glitch Boss is a 50/50 between Razor and Falkner
- Beat both for Shatter Shock skins and the Visitors animated camo
- Endgame is free to play through end of Season 05
What is Operation Wall Breaker?
Story-wise, a Command Node is blocking Karma’s virus from attacking the Guild’s network. Your job is to scour Avalon, breach network hubs across different locations, and gather enough Mapping Data to locate and destroy the node. Once you crack it open, you enter the Command Killer Glitch Fracture and finish the job.
Gameplay-wise, each step sends you to a different area of the map with a mix of activities, assignments, and kill objectives. Every step ends with “Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub,” which serves as the narrative thread tying everything together. The structure is straightforward: clear objectives, breach the hub, move to the next location.

Unlike Broken Mirror, you do not need a high-level operator to start. Zone I is accessible for everyone. If you have completed Broken Mirror, you will breeze through the first few steps.
All 9 Steps and Rewards
Operation Wall Breaker has 9 steps that must be completed in order, plus the Command Killer Glitch Step as the finale. Here is every objective and reward, organized by zone requirement. All data verified from our in-game screenshots on launch day.
Steps 1-2: Zone I
| Step | Name | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identify an Edge Node | Complete the Command Center Activity in the Old Arsenal area. Kill 20 enemies with Critical Kills in the Old Arsenal area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Old Arsenal area. | ”Brain Freeze” Weapon Charm, 1,000 XP |
| 2 | Trace the Network | Complete an Activity in the Cliff Town area. Complete an Assignment in Zone 1. Eliminate 25 Human enemies in the Cliff Town area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Cliff Town area. | Restore Token, 1,000 XP |
Step 1: Identify an Edge Node kicks off the operation in the Old Arsenal at Zone I difficulty Click to enlarge 
Steps 1-2 are Zone I, which means any operator can start Wall Breaker immediately. The Critical Kills requirement in Step 1 is worth noting. If you are not used to landing headshots or weak-point hits consistently, slow down and line up your shots. Step 2 gives you a Restore Token early, just like Broken Mirror did.
Step 2: Trace the Network rewards a Restore Token for clearing Cliff Town objectives Click to enlarge 
Steps 3-5: Zone II
| Step | Name | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Tier 2 Protocol | Complete 2 Activities near the Excavation Site area. Complete a Quadcore Site Activity in the Colosseum area. Eliminate 4 Special enemies in the Colosseum area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Colosseum area. | Double XP Token, 1,000 XP |
| 4 | Uplink | Complete the Command Center Activity in the Heliport area. Complete a D.A.W.G. Escort Assignment in the Heliport area. Kill 20 enemies while in a Vehicle in the Heliport area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Heliport area. | ”Splitter” Emblem, 2,500 XP |
| 5 | Satellite Station | Complete Command Center Activity in the Listening Post area. Destroy a VTOL in the Listening Post area. Eliminate 50 Human enemies in the Listening Post area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Listening Post area. | Double Battle Pass XP Token, 2,500 XP |
Step 3: Tier 2 Protocol moves the action to the Excavation Site and Colosseum in Zone II Click to enlarge 
Zone II steps introduce more variety. Step 4 has a D.A.W.G. Escort plus vehicle kills, which means you need to find a vehicle in the Heliport area and run enemies over or use mounted weapons. Step 5 requires 50 Human kills and a VTOL destroy at the Listening Post, which is the grindiest step in this zone bracket.

Steps 6-8: Zone III
| Step | Name | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Executive Retreat | Complete 2 Activities in the Resorts area. Complete an HVT Assignment in the Resorts area. Kill 5 Special enemies with Critical Kills in the Resorts area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Resorts area. | ”Frost Beast” Decal, 2,500 XP |
| 7 | Advanced Access | Complete a Toxin Field Activity in the High Town area. Complete 2 Activities in the Trinity Stadium area. Kill 10 enemies with Equipment in the High Town area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the High Town area. | Double Weapon XP Token, 5,000 XP |
| 8 | At the Gates | Complete the Command Center Activity in the Coastal Security area. Eliminate 50 Fears in the Coastal Security area. Eliminate 3 Elite enemies in the Coastal Security area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Coastal Security area. | ”Fractal Cry” Loading Screen, 5,000 XP |
This is where it gets real. Zone III is a significant difficulty jump, and our team noticed it immediately. Step 6 asks for Critical Kills on Special enemies in the Resorts, which requires precision under pressure. Step 7 needs 10 Equipment kills in High Town, so make sure you have strong lethals or tacticals equipped. Step 8 is the toughest of the three: 50 Fears and 3 Elites in Coastal Security is no joke, especially with other squads hunting the same targets.

Step 9: Zone IV
| Step | Name | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | Command Node | Complete a Surveillance Control Activity in the Low Town area. Complete a Quadcore Site Activity in the Firing Range area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Low Town area. Locate and Breach the Guild Network Hub in the Firing Range area. | ”Forehead Slap” Emote, 5,000 XP |
Step 9: Command Node sends you to two locations to isolate the final node Click to enlarge 
Step 9 is interesting because it splits into two locations. The Command Node has been isolated to either Low Town or the Firing Range, so you need to breach Network Hubs at both. No kill objectives here, just activities and breaches. Zone IV difficulty keeps you on your toes, but the lack of grind kills makes this step feel quicker than the Zone III ones.
The Command Killer Glitch
After clearing all 9 steps, the Command Killer Glitch Step opens. This is the grand finale of the entire Endgame storyline.
| Step | Name | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| G | Command Killer | Complete a Possessed Convoy Activity. Enter the Command Killer Glitch and defeat the Glitch Boss. | ”Cold Shoulder” Weapon Blueprint, “Terms of Disservice” Calling Card, 7,500 XP |
The Command Killer Glitch Step: complete a Possessed Convoy, then face the Glitch Boss at Nightmare difficulty Click to enlarge 
The Possessed Convoy is a new Season 04 activity where you destroy a Guild Convoy and eliminate the Zursa. After that, the Glitch Fracture portal spawns. Enter it and you face the Command Killer Glitch Boss at full Nightmare difficulty.
If you played through the Virus Injection Glitch in Broken Mirror, expect a similar format. Waves of Nightmare-tier enemies, then the boss fight. Bring your strongest loadout and a teammate if possible. Our team found that having at least one squad member helps significantly, especially if you are going for the Shatter Shock skins and need to complete this multiple times.
Getting the animated camo requires beating both Razor and Falkner, but the boss is random each run. You might need more than two clears. Having a reliable teammate makes Nightmare difficulty much more manageable.
Shatter Shock Skins and Camos
Just like Broken Mirror had the Aftershock skins, Wall Breaker has the Shatter Shock set. The twist this time: the Glitch Boss is a 50/50 between Razor and Falkner. You do not get to choose which one you fight. Beat both to collect their Shatter Shock skins and unlock the animated camo.
| Requirement | Reward |
|---|---|
| Defeat Razor or Falkner in the Command Killer Glitch (50/50 chance) | That boss’s “Shatter Shock” operator skin |
| Unlock 1 Shatter Shock skin | ”Decay” Weapon Camo |
| Unlock both Shatter Shock skins | ”Visitors” Animated Weapon Camo |
Command Killer Glitch Rewards: Shatter Shock operator skins, Decay camo, and the Visitors animated camo Click to enlarge 
The Visitors animated camo is the big chase item. You need both Shatter Shock skins, which means beating both Razor and Falkner. Since the boss is random, you might need more than two runs if you get the same boss twice. That RNG element adds an extra layer to the grind.
Tips for Completing Operation Wall Breaker
Wall Breaker is more accessible than Broken Mirror, but the later steps still demand preparation. Here is how to approach it efficiently.
The Early Steps Are Free XP
Steps 1-5 are Zone I and II. If you have played any Endgame content before, these are warmup rounds. Do not overthink them. Blast through them for the XP tokens and Restore Token, then slow down for Zone III.
Zone III Is the Real Start
Steps 6-8 are where most players will feel the difficulty spike. Critical Kills on Special enemies, Equipment kills, and clearing 50 Fears all require specific loadout preparation. Make sure your Equipment is leveled up before Step 7, and bring crowd-control abilities for Step 8.
Contract Competition Is the Biggest Obstacle
Our team noticed this immediately on launch day: the hardest part of Wall Breaker is not the enemies, it is other players. Everyone is trying to complete the same contracts and activities at the same time. If you are struggling to find available activities, try playing during off-peak hours or rotating to less popular areas within the same zone.
Step 9 Has Two Breach Locations
Do not miss this. Step 9 requires breaching Network Hubs in both Low Town and the Firing Range. Completing just one will not finish the step. Plan your route to hit both areas in a single run if possible.
Prepare for Multiple Glitch Boss Runs
If you want the Visitors animated camo, you need to beat both Razor and Falkner. Since the boss is a 50/50 coin flip each run, you could get unlucky and face the same boss multiple times. Plan for at least 2-3 runs minimum. Investing time in Operator Prestige for extra skill slots before attempting the Glitch Boss is worth considering.
