Best Black Ops 7 Ranked Play loadouts

Ranked Play has arrived in Black Ops 7 as part of the Season 2 update, so here are all the best weapons, Perks, and Equipment to climb the Skill Divisions.

Best BO7 Ranked Play loadouts

ARs

The M15 Mod 0 Assault Rifle is favored by the pro players for its low recoil, fast fire rate, and great mobility.

Best M15 Mod 0 class

• Optic: Lethal Tools ELO
• Barrel: 16.5” Fusion Barrel
• Underbarrel: Ironhold Angled Grip
• Rear Grip: Hexcut Grip
• Stock: Wander-3v Stock
• Build Code: A01-AV676-DRWH1-1

SMGs

The Dravec 45 is the go-to choice for pro players because it’s so versatile. It’s perfect for getting in enemies’ faces, but it can also challenge ARs at mid-range.

Best Dravec 45 class

Activision / Dexerto

• Muzzle: Hawker Hybrid .45
• Barrel: 19” EAM Horizon Barrel
• Rear Grip: Quikarm Grip
• Stock: Serval Q-Step Stock
• Fire Mods: .45 Cal Overpressured
• Build Code: S04-2JD6P-5REAP-1L11

Snipers

The VS Recon is the only Sniper Rifle allowed in Ranked Play. Pro players have GA’d (banned) sniper attachments in the CDL, and we’d expect Ranked to follow suit. However, if attachments are allowed, we’ll update this page with the best loadout.

Pistols

Pistols are mostly only used as a backup, but OpTic Dashy proves they can be devastating in the right hands, and he uses the Jäger 45.

Best Jäger 45 class

• Muzzle: H-45 Precision Comp
• Barrel: 7.1″ Hawker Ion Barrel
• Rear Grip: Intercept Grip
• Fire Mods: .45 Cal Overpressured
• Build Code: P01-21WSG-FKX18-A311

Best Perks & Equipment in BO7 Ranked Play

• Perk 1: Ninja
• Perk 2: Fast Hands
• Perk 3: Dexterity
• Wildcard: Perk Greed
• Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
• Melee: Knife
• Tactical: Stun Grenade
• Lethal: Frag / Semtex
• Field Upgrade: Trophy System

Ninja is a great choice for Perk 1 as it’ll allow you to move around the map without worrying about your footsteps giving you away. It’s particularly useful in Search and Destroy.

Fast Hands is the best choice for Perk 2 as it allows you to reload and swap weapons faster, making the game feel more responsive. Then, Dexterity lets you ADS while diving, sliding, and wall-jumping, which is vital in getting the most from BO7’s Omnimovement.

Perk Greed is the only Wildcard available, and you should use it on Flak Jacket. The last thing you want is a grenade taking you down at the start of a Search and Destroy round, so it’ll keep you safe from well-thrown ‘nades.

The Knife is a great all-rounder melee weapon that lets you get around the map quickly and take someone down in one hit.

Stun Grenades are great for slowing down enemies for a quick kill, and being able to cook a Frag is extremely useful in Search and Destroy. However, the Semtex is the better choice for Hardpoint.

Finally, the Trophy System is a non-negotiable. You’ll need to defend Hardpoints and bomb sites, as it’ll be nearly impossible to win without them.

Also, make sure to use the best controller, PC, audio, and console settings to give yourself every advantage possible.

Note: This page is a work-in-progress, so we’ll be adding more weapons and loadouts as the meta continues to form.
