Since its release in June, Black Ops 7‘s season is nearing its end. Various limited-time events, challenges, and reward systems are entering their final stages. Many players are rushing to complete unfinished challenges to obtain all the rewards and resources for this season.
However, completing all the tasks this season is difficult. The season‘s Easter egg, Astra Malorum, is extremely complex and difficult.
The two core bosses in the mission, O.S.C.A.R. and Caltheris, possess a unique infinite respawn mechanism. Even if you successfully defeat them once, they will return to the battlefield after a brief delay in a stronger state, with increased health, attack power, and skill frequency with each respawn, making them very difficult to defeat.
To help you more easily face these tough bosses, this guide will introduce the 5 strongest weapon setups in BO7 for your use.
Best M15 Mod 0 Assault Rifle Setup
The first weapon to introduce is M15 Mod 0. It‘s an assault rifle, but its accuracy far surpasses that of other rifles, and its mobility is far superior to that of typical submachine guns. So if you want to dominate the arena, choosing this gun is definitely the right choice.
To better utilize this gun, we need to change some configurations. First, to precisely control the vertical and horizontal recoil of M15 Mod 0, you need to add a Compensator and a Recoil Control Foregrip to the gun. With these two attachments, the gun will hardly shake, allowing for more accurate shooting.
To better engage in long-range combat, we need to install a Hybrid Barrel, which increases bullet range and speed, making the gun‘s performance even better.
For the magazine, we choose 45 rounds instead of 60. Although this number of rounds might seem insufficient, you don‘t have to worry about too many bullets reducing the gun‘s aiming speed and sprint to-fire speed. In actual combat, 45 rounds are perfectly sufficient, making it the ideal magazine size.
After setting up the above configurations, we then choose Wander-3V Stock to further improve our aiming speed, allowing for quick strafing, making it harder for enemies to target us in combat. Up to this point, M15 Mod 0 is practically invincible. It boasts extremely high accuracy, a very clear sight picture, and simple operation. Although the developers weakened its power in a new patch, this gun remains the top choice for both new and veteran players.
Best Maddox RFB Assault Rifle Setup
Maddox RFB is also a fully automatic assault rifle. Its firepower increases with every two shots fired, although accuracy decreases. Therefore, the first step is to install Lethal Tools ELO, which provides a wider field of view and a clearer sight picture.
For the muzzle and underbarrel attachments, we still use Compensator and Recoil Control Foregrip, but we no longer use Hybrid Barrel.
As mentioned above, this gun‘s firepower increases with the number of shots fired, so bullet velocity doesn‘t need to be increased. To gain an advantage at long range and achieve a larger damage radius, we should choose Long Barrel.
Regarding the magazine, because of Maddox RFB‘s top rate of fire, the 40-round magazine will seem insufficient. Here, I recommend the 50-round extended magazine.
To allow us to quickly raise the gun and fire whether we‘re diving or sliding, we need to further improve the aiming speed. Here, we choose Mobile Quickdraw Comb for the rear grip, which makes our shooting faster and more accurate.
To better dodge enemy bullets while shooting, we choose ADS Movement Stock for the stock, which makes the overall movement speed of this gun faster. Because Maddox RFB has significantly higher recoil than M15 Mod 0, we also need to use Recoil Spring to make the gun more stable.
Since we need to install 8 attachments on this gun, you‘ll need to equip Gunfighter to install the extra three attachments. But trust me, this gun is absolutely worth using Gunfighter to equip all the attachments I recommend; its powerful performance in the game will definitely make you feel it‘s worth the investment.
Best X9 Maverick Assault Rifle Setup
X9 Maverick is an assault rifle that fires in three-round bursts. It can inflict significant damage, and its recoil is not as high as the previous two rifles. However, its handling is average, making it suitable for a more conservative playstyle. To give X9 Maverick a clearer sight picture, we still choose Lethal Tools ELO as its scope, further improving the gun‘s aiming accuracy and precision in combat.
A common problem with 3-round burst rifles is that the recoil from the first shot is very strong, and the accuracy is lower compared to subsequent shots. To control the vertical recoil of this gun, we installed a Muzzle Brake, which can counteract some of the recoil energy at the moment of firing, making aiming more stable.
For the barrel, we still choose Long Barrel. It not only increases the damage range but also increases the magazine capacity to 45 rounds, reducing reload time–a win-win situation.
Because X9 Maverick‘s handling is not as good as other guns, we also need to equip a Quickdraw Grip and Recoil Spring to make the gun more responsive and allow for quick strikes against enemies.
With these five attachments, X9 Maverick can not only shoot accurately but also deliver strong damage, easily eliminating enemies at any distance.
Best Ryden 45K Setup
Ryden 45K is the first submachine gun you unlock in the game. For beginners, it might be a bit difficult to control, but with diligent practice, you will surely master it.
If you don‘t want this gun to affect your ranking and gaming experience in actual combat, you can buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies from EZG.com for more efficient and targeted combat training to improve your proficiency with Ryden 45K. Once you can use it skillfully, I believe you will fall in love with it.
For the muzzle, we choose Compensator to control vertical recoil. Ryden 45K excels in close-quarters combat, so we choose Hybrid Barrel to further enhance its accuracy within its effective range.
For underbarrel attachments, I recommend choosing Recoil Control Foregrip and Recoil Spring. This will greatly improve its original problem of excessive recoil, making shooting more accurate. Finally, we use a 40-round magazine to compensate for the rapid ammunition consumption caused by the submachine gun‘s high rate of fire.
Besides these attachments, this gun doesn‘t need any other accessories. Of course, if you want, you can also choose ADS Movement Stock to improve recoil stability and damage range. However, I think 5 attachments are enough for you to use it effectively. All you need to do is practice diligently and master it quickly.
Best Dravec 45 Setup
Although Black Ops 7 isn‘t a game primarily focused on submachine guns, DRAVEC 45 can easily compete with assault rifles at long range, and it‘s one of my favorite submachine guns in the game.
For the muzzle, barrel, grip, and stock, our choices are the same as Maddox RFB: Compensator, Long Barrel, Mobile Quickdraw Comb, and ADS Movement Stock.
Because you‘ll definitely be engaging in long-range firefights in BO7, and submachine guns have a very short effective range, Long Barrel and Mobile Quickdraw Comb can maximize the damage range of Dravec 45, making this gun more powerful and allowing you to kill enemies faster.
The magazine choices are more diverse. You can take full advantage of Dravec 45‘s lighter weight as a submachine gun and choose a 30-round magazine, which will result in faster reloading and aiming speed, and more accurate sprint firing.
Of course, you can also keep the original 36-round magazine and instead add a Recoil Spring, which will also make the gun more accurate.
Above are the five strongest weapons I‘ve experienced in CoD: Black Ops 7 and the recommended attachments to improve their performance. Now, go try them out and enjoy the thrill of intense gunfights and high kill counts!
