In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies Ashes of the Damned, you'll be able to find Fertilizer Canisters around the map, which can be used to grow Aether Plants. The plants tend to provide you with quick access to XP, salvage, and equipment drops.

But there's an even stronger way of utilizing the Plant Easter Egg that significantly boosts the plant growth rate and the quality of loot.

The key ingredient for this fast loot farming method is Toxic Growth. When you apply Toxic Growth to an Aether Plant right before spraying fertilizer or while the spraying animation is happening, the plant completes its entire growth cycle in just a few seconds.

This makes it so much easier to have access to the loot as the window is much shorter, and you won't be charged by zombies.

What's more optimal about this method is the increased quality of the loot. Using Toxic Growth causes the Aether Plant to drop significantly more valuable loot than using just the fertilizer itself.

Even on the lower rounds, you will be able to get loot like Purple Aether Tools, Pack-a-Punch I crystals, Pack-a-Punch II crystals, and a lot more Salvage.

You'll also be able to repeat the process with the same plants in the next round, as the plants will reset, making it one of the more efficient loot loops currently in this game mode.

Going from plant to plant with Toxic Growth and fertilizer can be one of the best and steady ways of supplying items, especially in earlier rounds.

This is currently one of the strongest and fastest ways to gather powerful equipment with barely any investment. Making this one of the key aspects to utilize in Ashes of the Damned.
