Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 ships with 30 base weapons on November 14, 2025, spanning six primary classes, two secondary categories, and a dedicated melee slot. Treyarch’s revamped loadouts also introduce Overclocks — mid‑match upgrades that can make Equipment hit harder, Field Upgrades charge faster, or Scorestreaks cost less. Below is a category‑by‑category breakdown of the guns and combat tools confirmed so far, plus the full perk slate and how Combat Specialties work. A subset of these items will be playable in the all‑platform beta running October 2–8.

Primary weapons (launch lineup and confirmed picks)

Six primary classes anchor the arsenal. The lists below call out the weapons shown to date; each class will receive additional entries at launch.

Assault rifles — versatile and mid‑range focused

  • M15 Mod 0: full‑auto AR tuned for balanced damage, range, and handling; reliable across most fights.
  • MXR‑17: full‑auto with strong accuracy and reach, traded off against mobility and fire rate.
  • Peacekeeper Mk1: agile, fast‑handling full‑auto that kicks harder and loses steam at distance.

SMGs — high mobility for close quarters

  • Graz 45k: balanced SMG with dependable CQB power and controllable recoil.
  • Dravec 45: extremely stable at longer SMG ranges; less bursty up close.
  • Razor 9mm: extreme rate of fire; shorter reach and slower handling.
  • Plus three more SMGs at launch.

Shotguns — close‑range control

  • M10 Breacher: pump‑action “charge” shotgun; hold the trigger to tighten hip‑fire and ADS spread.
  • Echo 12: double‑barrel that fires two semi‑auto shots before rechambering; strong follow‑up burst potential.
  • One more shotgun at launch.

LMGs — sustained fire, slower movement

  • MK.78: full‑auto with high damage and a big mag; weighed down by handling and mobility.
  • One more LMG at launch.

Marksman rifles — precise, mid‑to‑long range

  • M8A1: four‑round burst with high per‑burst damage and a quick internal cadence; moderate burst cooldown.
  • Two more marksman rifles at launch.

Sniper rifles — long‑range lethality

  • VS Recon: bolt‑action with quick rechambering, moderate recoil, and stability.
  • XR‑3 Ion: three‑round burst sniper with high power and low recoil; slower handling and a short pre‑fire delay.
  • One more sniper at launch.

Secondary weapons

Pistols

  • Jäger 45: semi‑auto sidearm with very fast follow‑up shots and minimal kick.
  • CODA 9: full‑auto pistol with high DPS; strong recoil and a shorter effective range.
  • One more pistol at launch.

Launchers

  • A.R.C. M1: charge‑to‑fire energy launcher; the beam pierces targets and shreds vehicles/Scorestreaks.
  • One more launcher at launch.

Melee weapons

  • Flatline MK.II: dedicated melee with high damage and a moderate swing speed.
  • One more melee weapon at launch.

Note: Operators always carry a dedicated melee slot. The riot shield is also confirmed to return.

Loadouts, Gunsmith, and Overclocks

You can save up to 10 custom loadouts and tweak them mid‑match. Gunsmith returns with up to five attachment slots by default (expandable via the Gunfighter Wildcard). A new Build Code system lets you share/import exact weapon setups at launch (usable only with items you’ve unlocked).

Overclocks are match‑earned upgrades applied to Tacticals, Lethals, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks. Each eligible item has two Overclocks you can unlock through use, such as faster Field Upgrade charge, lower Scorestreak costs, or bigger blast/stun effects.

What’s in the beta (October 2–8)

The beta includes 16 named weapons across the classes above (the items in the lists here are representative), plus multiple Tacticals, Lethals, Field Upgrades with Overclocks, and three Wildcards (Gunfighter, Overkill, Perk Greed). Six core 6v6 maps are scheduled for the beta window, and more content unlocks at launch. Early Access begins October 2 at 10AM PT for preorders, with the Open Beta running October 5–8.

With Overclocks enabling on‑the‑fly power spikes and Hybrid Combat Specialties rewarding perk synergies, Black Ops 7’s launch sandbox leans into adaptation. Start with a few dependable loadouts for close, mid, and long‑range maps, then refine as the meta and your unlocks evolve.
