Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – All Intel Collectible Locations Explained in Detail

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 continues the franchise’s tradition of hiding special collectibles across its campaign missions. The game features 11 Intel items, one hidden in each mission, and finding all of them unlocks an achievement required for 100% campaign completion. These Intel objects can be tucked away in small corners, large open spaces, or behind optional paths.

Below is a mission-by-mission breakdown of every Intel collectible with more detailed guidance based on the original descriptions.

  1. Exposure – “Becoming the Monster” Intel

image

Toward the final stretch of the Exposure mission, you’ll perform a series of Kinetic Jumps across rocky terrain. After completing this platforming segment, you’ll arrive at a small village marked by a huge machete sculpture standing prominently in the center. Move ahead toward the stone well positioned before the cluster of houses. As you approach the well, another large machete dramatically crashes into the ground at the same spot, making this area easy to identify. The Intel will be resting on top of the well.

  1. Inside – Intel: Truth

image

During the second mission, you’ll be instructed to meet Karma at her hideout. Follow the objective markers and descend the rope to reach her underground location. Before speaking to Karma, look to her right side, you’ll notice a body bag lying nearby. Walk up to the body bag and interact with it to collect the Intel.

  1. Distortion – Intel: Family Ties

image

This Intel requires a bit of parkour and awareness. Progress through the mission until the objective asks you to open a container to rescue Woods. Instead of interacting with the container, move behind it. You’ll see a separate elevated platform in the distance. Use your Grappling Hook to jump onto this platform. Once there, turn around 180 degrees to spot a secluded room accessible via another grapple point. Enter this hidden room to find the Intel inside.

  1. Escalation – Intel: Cost of Business

image

As you move through the Escalation mission, you’ll be tasked with using an access card to reach the Main Terminal. Head toward the objective marker, but hold off on interacting with the terminal. Look around for a small room located nearby, you’ll spot the Intel inside it. Its placement isn’t directly on the main path, so a quick sweep of the nearby rooms helps.

  1. Disruption – Intel: Best Laid Plans

image

In Disruption, you’ll hit a sequence where the squad crashes through skylights into a building. After you land, eliminate all enemies in the immediate area. Turn toward the northwestern corner of the room. There’s a staircase here, climb it, and at the top, search for a table placed near a shuttered doorway. The Intel will be sitting right on this table.

  1. Collapse – Intel: Heavy is the Head

image

Once you enter the Colosseum during Collapse, your next task will be to secure a nearby SAM site to the north. While moving toward this new objective, keep an eye on your left side. You’ll notice a ruined structure. Grapple up to its roof. The Intel will be placed there, interestingly in the shape of a severed head, tying into the mission’s theme.

  1. Fracture – Intel: Team Bond

image

Fracture takes place on a chaotic, tilted freeway filled with overturned vehicles. Proceed along the central path until you find a red truck flipped on its side. Jump into the cargo area through the open back door. Once inside, turn around to face the direction you came from. The Intel will be sitting there inside the truck.

  1. Quarantine – Intel: Case

image

During Quarantine, you’ll reach a tall tower that must be climbed. As you ascend, you’ll arrive in an area designed similarly to the Skyline map from Black Ops 6. Continue up the staircase positioned near a bookshelf. Enter the room on the right. The Intel collectible will be placed on a table within this room.

  1. Suppression – Intel: Lake Time

image

Midway through Suppression, you’ll enter Mason’s Cabin. Ignore the main objective prompt for now. Climb the stairs inside the cabin and turn right to reach a small attic space. Look in the corner of the room for a dresser; beside it, you’ll see a fishing rod resting against the wall. This object is the Intel.

  1. Breakpoint – Intel: Trigger Finger

image

In Breakpoint, you’ll reach the exterior of a Stadium and be tasked with overheating six Cradle shipments. Instead of focusing on the objective, drop down to the nearby road. Look for a train car area featuring multiple cranes. Head toward the first open container in this section. Inside that container, you’ll find the Intel.

  1. Containment – Intel: Face the Nightmare

image

The final Intel is located during one of the toughest moments, a boss fight involving three mechs in a large combat arena. While dodging the mechs, look for the distant Control Room. Move toward it until you reach a cluster of floating containers. Jump onto the nearest container, then hop onto the container on the right. Continue navigating until you locate an open container. The Intel is inside, marking the final collectible of the campaign.

Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next mid-range smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A37. The model has now surfaced on the company’s internal test servers. The listing signals that development for the device is well underway, hinting at a potential release in the first quarter of 2026. Here’s what we know about the phone so far.

The Galaxy A37 was spotted with the model number SM-A376U, which clearly points to the device’s identity. The “U” suffix indicates that this particular version is the US variant, and early test builds reference several major American carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and UScellular.

Although no hardware specifications have been revealed yet, the appearance on Samsung’s servers strongly suggests that the phone is entering the final stages of development. The predecessor Galaxy A36 was launched in March 2025 and based on that timeline, we can assume that its successor could launch at a similar time next year.

Speaking of the predecessor, we can take a look at the key specs of Galaxy S36 to have a fair idea of what to expect from the next-in-line phone.

0

Highlights

  • The iPhone 18 Pro Max may become Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet, weighing over 240g and measuring 9mm thick.
  • Expected changes include under-display Face ID, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery, contributing to the increased size and weight.
  • Apple plans a two-phase rollout with Pro models alongside its first foldable iPhone in September 2026 and standard iPhone 18 with iPhone 18e in early 2027.

Apple’s next-generation iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to launch in late 2026. The flagship iPhone is already drawing attention for its expected design and hardware changes. Adding to rumours via fresh leaks, it could become the company’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet. Here’s the full story.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Could Be Heavier Than Ever

A recent leak from Chinese tipster Instant Digital on Weibo claims that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will weigh more than 240 grams, making it Apple’s heaviest iPhone to date. This would surpass the weights of previous models like the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max, both of which were lighter.

For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max featured a titanium body and weighed 227 grams, while the shift to aluminium in the iPhone 17 Pro Max raised the weight to 233 grams, partly due to a larger battery.

Along with the extra weight, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is also expected to feature a thicker chassis, measuring around 9mm, up from the 8.8mm thickness of its predecessor.

iPhone 18 Pro Max – What Else We Know?

The increase in weight and thickness is believed to be linked to internal hardware advancements. Reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro series will introduce a new under-display Face ID system, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery. These updates could collectively contribute to the device’s added heft.

While Apple has yet to confirm whether the larger frame accommodates a bigger battery, it seems likely that the brand’s design changes are focused on durability and component integration.

Another leak indicates Apple plans to refine the iPhone’s aesthetics by colour-matching the aluminium frame with the reinforced glass back panel, addressing the dual-tone contrast seen on the iPhone 17 Pro models. This move could result in a more seamless and premium-looking design.

iPhone 18 Lineup and Launch Timeline

Apple is reportedly planning a two-phase rollout for the iPhone 18 lineup. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to debut alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone in September 2026, while the standard iPhone 18 and entry-level iPhone 18e could follow in early 2027.

Meanwhile, the second-generation iPhone Air is now said to be delayed indefinitely. This model was initially linked to the 2026 launch window.

FAQs

Q1. How heavy and thick will the iPhone 18 Pro Max be?

Answer. Leaks suggest it will weigh over 240g and measure around 9mm thick, making it Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship iPhone to date.

Q2. What hardware changes are expected in the iPhone 18 Pro Max?

Answer: The device may feature under-display Face ID, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery, contributing to its increased size and weight.

Q3. When will the iPhone 18 series launch?

Answer. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September 2026, followed by the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in early 2027.

Samsung’s much-awaited Galaxy Z TriFold has been in the works for months. The device concept was first showcased during the Galaxy Unpacked in January 2025 and since then fans have been excited. The Korean brand has previously confirmed its arrival before the end of the year and it seems the company is ready to unveil its most ambitious device yet.

According to the latest report, the innovative foldable device is set to make its debut next month with new leaks shedding light on its launch timeline, design, and hardware details. Here’s all we know.

According to The Chosun Daily, Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy Z TriFold on December 5, followed by immediate sales. However, availability could be limited to South Korea and select Asian markets initially.

The report adds that the Galaxy Z TriFold may cost around 4.4 million Korean won, which is approximately $3,000 USD. While previous leaks hinted at a possible U.S. release, that now appears uncertain.

Industry insiders suggest that Samsung may treat this initial launch as a test phase, gauging consumer response before a wider international rollout next year. If successful, the Galaxy Z TriFold could mark a major leap in smartphone design. It will be blending the capabilities of a phone and tablet in one sleek, foldable form.

Galaxy Z TriFold to Feature Massive 5600mAh Battery

One of the key highlights of the Galaxy Z TriFold will be its 5600mAh battery, making it even larger than the one inside the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. The unique three-part folding mechanism has allowed Samsung to fit three separate battery units inside the device. This will help to deliver more power than any previous Samsung foldable.

When unfolded, the Galaxy Z TriFold expands into a 10-inch display, giving users a tablet-like experience. The larger battery is designed to support the increased power demand of the expansive screen, providing all-day usage.

While 5600mAh is substantial for a foldable, it’s just enough to balance the large display’s power requirements.

Despite its complex design, Samsung is reportedly keeping the TriFold sleek and compact, measuring just 4.2mm thick when folded and 14mm when unfolded. This engineering feat could make it one of the slimmest multi-fold devices ever made.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Z TriFold is rumoured to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is expected to run Android 16-based One UI 8 with Samsung likely offering seven years of OS and One UI updates for the device.
