All Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 Guns, Weapons, And Perks Available At Launch

While we don’t know the exact names of a small handful of the weapons in Black Ops 7 just yet, thanks to a new gameplay trailer and accompanying blog post, we can now provide the specifics around the guns and other weapons available in the new Call of Duty game. There’s also a new feature coming to Loadouts–Overclocking–that allows you to supercharge your gear and unlock certain enhancements during matches, including faster Field Upgrades, reduced Scorestreak costs, and more dangerous equipment.

Tactical gear can disorient, disable, heal, or reveal foes or friends, and Lethal gear will deal huge damage via explosives, drones, and other deployables. Overclocking these items can improve things including blast radius, stun strength, and more.

Field upgrades will adjust the flow of battle by supplying ammo, launching drones, hiding players, or deploying holographic decoys to distract the opposition.

Wildcards are back in Black Ops 7–selectable perks that can grant extra attachments, more equipment, or replace Scorestreaks entirely. The perks you choose define your specialty during combat from three categories–Enforcer, Recon, or Strategist. Black Ops 7 will introduce hybrid versions of these specialties, meaning you can mix categories and still be rewarded with bonuses.

You’ll get a chance to get hands-on with these guns and weapons across a variety of Black Ops 7 maps during the Black Ops 7 beta that starts on October 2.

Loadouts have a brand-new look, and the new Overclock system. You can choose how to Overclock your loadout, whether you focus on Equipment, Field Upgrades, or your Scorestreak. Loadouts will affect the guns and abilities you have during matches, and you can customize and save up to 10 in Black Ops 7. You’re still able to adjust your loadout during matches, meaning you can tweak it in real-time to see the effects.

Tactical and Lethal equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks can all be overclocked. You can unlock up to two Overclock abilities over time that will provide benefits including a lower score requirement to trigger Scorestreaks, decreased charge time for Field Upgrades, and extra lethality for Equipment.

The Loadout menu has the following selectable options:

• Primary weapon
• Secondary weapon
• Melee weapon
• Tactical
• Lethal
• Field Upgrade
• Perks
• Combat Specialty
• Wildcard
• Overclocks

Primary weapons are the main weapon you’ll use during combat in Black Ops 7. By creating a build for a weapon you can generate a code to share your exact weapon with friends. While we don’t yet know all of the exact weapons coming to each category, from the various Black Ops 7 trailers we’ve seen there will be some familiar names and some new ones. The following slides show some confirmed weapons coming to the Black Ops 7 beta.

In Black Ops 7, for the first time you can equip different perks to activate Hybrid Specialties. As long as your Loadout contains two perks of the same color, you can unlock these. If you’re using the Perk Greed Wildcard, your specialty will still be determined by the Perks in the first three slots.
