Scump’s Insane Black Ops 7 Beta Day 1 Nuke Count Proves He Retired Too Early
After just one day of the Black Ops 7 beta, Call of Duty world champion Seth “Scump” Abner has already proved that he retired way too early, dropping nukes in abundance.
Scump, to many, is considered the greatest Call of Duty player of all time. He helped revolutionize gaming and esports content in his younger years, coupling up pro play with a hectic schedule that involved streams and multiple YouTube uploads every day.

He is also one of the most talented players ever, on both the pro level and in just pure “pubstomping,” which he became known for earlier in his career. Even now in retirement, he’s still clearly head and shoulders above the competition.
So much so that on day 1 of the Black Ops 7 beta, Scump dropped a whopping eight nukes, earned by getting 30 weapon or equipment kills in a row without dying.

Even Vegas FaZe star Chris “Simp” Lehr, regarded as a true challenger to Scump’s CoD crown, replied saying that it might be his year.
Might be your year…

Pulling off one nuke is an impressive feat, but hitting eight on the opening day really does show the talent disparity between elite players and the casuals.
Scump even did it using a whole variety of weapons, from Assault Rifles to Submachine Guns to Marksman Rifles, truly showing his range and that simply using the best guns won’t make you the best player.

The game has already been pretty well received by pro players during the beta, especially with positivity around the map design, gunplay and movement now that wall jumping is in the game.
As it is just a beta, we may see things change significantly ahead of the game’s launch on November 14, but no matter what changes, you can guarantee Scump is going to be dominating once again.
