SMG Kills Not Counting Toward Special Zombie Challenge in Black Ops 7

Players in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have encountered a bug affecting the zombie mode challenge that requires special or elite zombie kills using an SMG. Despite meeting kill requirements, the challenge progress remains stuck, as reported by a player who used a Ryden SMG for over 50 rounds on the Totenreich map but saw no advancement beyond 8 kills. This issue disrupts challenge tracking and progression, potentially frustrating players aiming to complete objectives. Developer attention is needed to resolve this bug and restore proper challenge functionality.
