With the latest Call of Duty Black Ops 7 venturing into the psychological horror mindspace, and set in the year 2035, we’re looking at some potentially bonkers weapons that will blow your mind. Weapons that are powerful enough to take down not only human soldiers but also giant robots and horrific monsters. 

These high-powered guns all come in staggering options. They provide you with overwhelming customization and weapon loadout choices that can make your head spin. Down below, we make your work a lot easier by ranking the best weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 that you definitely want to add to your arsenal.

10. Ryden 45K (SMG)

A fast and responsive SMG is always great to have in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 for close-quarters combat. And one of the best options available is the Ryden 45K gun. It comes equipped with a speedy firing rate, a steady recoil, and high TTK. What more can you ask for when the damage, handling, and recoil feel balanced and lethal?

9. DS20 Mirage (Assault Rifle)

An assault rifle is an extremely reliable and efficient weapon you absolutely want as your primary loadout. When considering your options, do check out the DS20 Mirage gun. Its damage output is pretty good. Moreover, it comes equipped with an underbarrel grenade launcher that can do decent damage. 

8. MXR-17 (Assault Rifle)

Another assault rifle worth considering for your best weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is the MXR-17 gun. Its damage output is also pretty competitive, hitting hard at opponents and at a speedy rate. Meanwhile, it benefits from assault rifles, typically having reliable accuracy and range. That way, you can adopt its use in medium to long-range. It’s awesome, then, that you can get your hands on MXR-17 as the third gun at launch.

7. AK-27 (Assault Rifle)

Still, you absolutely want to add the AK-27 assault rifle to your list of considerations. CoD veterans will know this gun is reliable, having steady recoil control and a fast TTK. Plus, it beats other assault rifles in allowing you to move quickly. In Call of Duty Black Ops 7, it maintains its impressive stats, providing you with a high damage output. Unfortunately, it handles pretty slowly, and the horizontal recoil can be wanting.

6. M10 Breacher (Shotgun)

Assault rifles may not be the best option for close-quarters melee kills. This is where the M10 Breacher shotgun comes in. It does have a quirk, as guns go, of needing to charge before firing any shot. Yet, only one shot is all that’s needed to take out an enemy. Also, its name “breacher” isn’t just for show, serving as an actual breach for busting through doors, or clearing rooms of up close aggressive enemies.

5. M8A1 (Marksman Rifle)

The M8A1 marksman rifle is a gun you’ll be unlocking in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 for the first time since Black Ops 2. So, in addition to taking a nostalgic trip, you’ll enjoy the stopping, long-range power it’s known for. With its four-round burst, you can make pretty good use of each shot. Of course, you don’t want to waste any shot on an imprecise aim. But even with one shot up close or two a little farther away, you can still inflict enough damage to snag a kill.

4. M34 Novaline (Marksman Rifle)

But perhaps the M34 Novaline marksman rifle makes more sense for the best weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 7. It’s a two-round burst rifle, whose every shot deals high damage. And even when farther away, you can still rely on its kill rate, provided you make the shot count. Moreover, it adapts to pretty much every situation, whether it’s running and gunning or offense and defense. 

3. Dravec 45 (SMG)

Back to SMGs, you absolutely want the Dravec 45 gun in your corner. It really thrives on close-quarters combat, thanks to a drastically low recoil. However, the damage output can be disappointing the farther you are from the enemy. So, you end up choosing between stability and effectiveness of the Dravec 45 SMG gun, even at longer ranges, but at the expense of dealing low damage. 

Still, there’s no debate about having an SMG that is versatile enough to deliver results in the medium ranges. With an equally decent TTK and relatively good accuracy, you can enjoy some impressive kills at safe distances. Plus, the stopping power is pretty good to rival the best gun on this list. Dravec 45 is an SMG that performs much like an assault rifle and can reliably help you dominate the battlefield.

2. Warden 308 (Marksman Rifle)

In second place of the best weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is the Warden 308 marksman rifle. It’s semi-automatic, providing a single shot powerful enough to take down an enemy. With such power, it’s unsurprising that it comes with the caveat of a fire rate delay. So, you have to be patient to reap the benefits of one-shot kills. 

But even with the delay, Warden 308 has quickly become a popular go-to for players, mostly because of its ease of use. You don’t need to be super accurate and aim for the head. As long as your shot lands above the chest, you’re good to go, Sniper rifle style. Some might say that’s a little too broken. But hey, go have fun before the inevitable patch swoops in.

1. M15 MOD 0 (Assault Rifle)

But the weapon many players are going for in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is the M15 MOD 0 assault rifle. Whether from close or long range, this gun will fire shots with no recoil. It’ll fire shots at a decent speed and provide you with good enough accuracy. 

The stats feel geared toward versatility and ease of use, which makes sense given it’s also your starting assault rifle. And it’s low damage also ensures you’re not starting out overly powered.
