Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer brings a lot of content for Season 1, both at launch and leading up to the mid-season update with Season 1 Reloaded. Since the arrival of maps like Standoff and modes like One in the Chamber and Sticks and Stones, there's a lot to get into.
However, maps and modes aren't the only changes coming with Season 1, as more weapons have entered the fray, some arriving on the market while others debuted throughout the season through events. With the meta now rocked with new gear, here are the best meta loads for Black Ops 7 season 1
How To Unlock All Camos In Black Ops 7 & Warzone
Black Ops 7 and Warzone have the largest selection of Camos of any Call of Duty at launch. Here's how to unlock all Camos and Mastery Camos.
Best Maddox RFB Loadout
First up is the Maddox RFB, the new assault rifle for the start of Season 1. Right off the bat, the Maddox RFB doesn't boast the greatest range, in fact it falls well short of most of the other options. However, of the fully automatic options, it ranks as fastest killing assault rifle up to 19 meters, better tuned for close to mid-range shots.
The gun's horizontal recoil is pretty rough though, but with those first 9 rounds or so at close range, it's a laser beam. Here's the best setup for multiplayer, including optional extras for those using the gunslinger build:
-
Best Maddox RFB Builds:
-
Silencer VAS 5.56 (muzzle)
-
24'' Assemblage Barrel
-
Grip EAM Steady-90 (bottom)
-
Hallux Mix Grip (back grip)
-
5MW Lockstep laser (laser)
-
-
Optional accessories with Gunfighter:
-
ELO Lethal Tool (optics)
-
Scarletfront Fast Mags (magazine)
-
Voltaic Light Stock (Stock)
-
Best Kogot-7 Loadout
With the weapons introduced in season 1 is the Kogot-7, an excellent SMG and already one of the meta choices in this category. As far as fully automatic options go, the Kogot-7 is technically second fastest killing SMG up to 13 metersbut declines considerably from this point. It definitely shreds it on smaller maps, especially on Nuketown.
It exists quite a bit of recoil to considerwhich, however, is particularly rough due to high revs. Here's a good setup for Season 1:
-
Best Kogot-7 builds:
-
SWF Tishina-11 (muzzle)
-
13.5'' Canis-05 Barrel
-
VAS Drift Lock Forend (lower barrel)
-
Fortune Extended Mag (magazine)
-
Buffer Spring (Fire Mods)
-
-
Optional accessories with Gunfighter:
-
Remedy Light Grip (Rear Grip)
-
F7-Howl Stock
-
5MW Lockstep laser (laser)
-
Best AK-27 Loadout
Now on to the weapon fire with the AK-27, a dormant pick for the pre-season but one that is quickly moving into meta status for Season 1 now that more are being collected. This heavy hitting assault rifle is one of the fastest kill options by defaultsitting not too far behind Maddox RFB but easily beating him by over 45m.
As a slower firing weapon, it's a bit more stable than the Maddox and Peacekeeper, but still has noticeable horizontal kick. The build below is a bit unconventional as it does little to increase the weapon's damage, but instead makes it a quick-handling, fast-moving option, similar to the AK-74U class. Here is the build.
-
Best AK-27 Builds:
-
SWF Tishina-11 (muzzle)
-
14'' Prism Light Barrel
-
Angled Iron Hold Grip (Bottom Barrel)
-
Epitah Extended Mag (magazine)
-
Buffer Spring (Fire Mods)
-
-
Optional accessories with Gunfighter:
-
Garin Advanced Grip (Back Grip)
-
Caliban Light Stock (Stock)
-
5MW Lockstep laser (laser)
-
Best Peacekeeper MK1 Loadout
Following the AK-27 is another assault rifle, this time one that is more tailored for close range targets. The Peacekeeper MK1 is actually a weapon that probably works better than most submachine gunsas the class has a notoriously fast damage drop range.
In fact, at 15 meters and more, The Peacekeeper MK1 beats all other SMGs in terms of TTKwhile also being slightly easier to deal with recoil than quick kill options like the Ryden 45k and even the Kogot 7. Here's the best setup for Season 1:
-
Best Peacekeeper MK1 Builds:
-
K&S Stalker 57-X (muzzle)
-
23.5'' longbow barrel (barrel)
-
Lateral precision grip (lower barrel)
-
Vulcan Reach Extension (magazine)
-
Buffer Spring (Fire Mods)
-
-
Optional accessories with Gunfighter:
-
Grip Diveedge-7 (back grip)
-
Swift-B Guard Stock
-
VAS Precision Shift Laser (laser)
-
The best Razor 9mm load
While Peacekeeper definitely acts as a great bridge between the AR and SMG classes, The Razor 9mm is still the meta choice for close rangecomfortably seated in front of Kogot-7 for the fastest TTK in its category, up to 13 meters.
Of course, it drops off significantly beyond that point, which is where most assault rifles dominate. But until then, if players can master its harsh recoil, it dominates smaller battlefields.
-
Best 9mm Razor Build:
-
ELO Lethal Tools (Optics)
-
H-9mm Precision Comp (muzzle)
-
13'' RL-Genesys Barrel
-
Lateral Precision Grip (Back Grip)

Strikeface Extended Mag (Magazine)

Best X9 Maverick Loadout
Last up is the X9 Maverick, a weapon that remains one of the best from pre-season and post-season 1. As in pre-season, The X9 Maverick is still mathematically the fastest killing assault rifle at all ranges.
Of course, the X9 Maverick as an explosive weapon does they require more skills to use effectivelybut if you can shoot, you'll beat most other ranged weapons. Here's the best weapon build from Season 1:
-
Best X9 Maverick Build:
-
ELO Lethal Tools (Optics)

17.6'' Chiral-02 Barrel
