The closed beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has started. MeinMMO gives you an overview of the meta weapons including loadouts.
What is this overview? We have looked at which weapons are widely used and perform well in the beta of Black Ops 7. As a result, we have created an overview of the current meta weapons.
These are the meta weapons: The meta is determined in the current beta by submachine guns and assault rifles, as these are ideally suited for play on the small maps with fast movement. But a DMR with burst fire as well as a shotgun are also among the most popular weapons.
These are the 10 most played weapons from all categories:
- Dravec 45 (SMG)
- M8A1 (DMR)
- M15 MOD 0 (AR)
- MXR-17 (AR)
- M10 Breacher (Shotgun)
- Peacekeeper Mk1 (AR)
- Razor 9mm (SMG)
- Ryden 45K (SMG)
- MK.78 (LMG)
- VS Recon (Sniper)
Black Ops 7 Meta – The 6 strongest weapons with loadout
Below we show you the six strongest weapons from different categories that you can currently play in the beta – including meta builds to replicate.
Dravec 45
What kind of weapon is this? The Dravec 45 is a fully automatic submachine gun and has a magazine with 36 rounds. You can equip it from player level 10 in your armory. At longer distances, it is stable and effective, while it loses penetration power in close combat.
How to build the submachine gun:
- Muzzle: Muzzle brake
- Barrel: Hybrid barrel
- Grip: Mobile quick-draw grip
- Stock: ZV movement stock
- Fire modifications: Recoil springs
If you have just unlocked the weapon and are leveling it up, you can initially equip the long barrel (from weapon level 12) and the quick-draw grip (from weapon level 9). Additionally, the magazine extension I is recommended so that you don’t have to reload as often.
M8A1
What kind of weapon is this? The M8A1 is a DMR with a 4-round burst and a magazine capacity of 32 rounds. Within the burst, the weapon excels with an extreme rate of fire. You can equip it from player level 7 in your armory.
How to build the DMR:
- Sight: Mini reflex sight 03
- Muzzle: Muzzle brake
- Barrel: Projectile speed barrel
- Underbarrel: Mobile recoil foregrip
- Grip: Stabilization grip
If you prefer not to be tracked on the minimap, you can equip the silencer instead. If you have just unlocked the weapon and are leveling it up, you can initially equip the hand stop for stable fluctuations as an underbarrel (from weapon level 3) and the quick-draw grip (from weapon level 2).
M15 MOD 0
What kind of weapon is this? The M15 MOD 0 is a fully automatic assault rifle with a balanced penetration power, precision, and handling. The weapon has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds. You can equip the weapon from player level 4 in your armory.
How to build the assault rifle:
- Sight: Mini reflex sight 01
- Muzzle: Muzzle brake
- Barrel: Long barrel
- Underbarrel: Mobile recoil foregrip
- Grip: Stabilization grip
At lower levels, you can alternatively equip the compensator as a muzzle (from weapon level 13) and the contour grip. As an underbarrel, the hand stop for stable fluctuations is recommended – or you can opt for the magazine extension I.
MXR-17
What kind of weapon is this? The MXR-17 is a fully automatic assault rifle with a magazine capacity of 25 rounds, which possesses strong precision and range. However, it sacrifices mobility and fire rate. You can equip the weapon from player level 4 in your armory.
How to build the assault rifle:
- Sight: Mini reflex sight 01
- Muzzle: Muzzle brake
- Barrel: Long barrel
- Underbarrel: Mobile recoil foregrip
- Grip: Stabilization grip
If you are just leveling up the assault rifle, you can instead use the hand stop for stable fluctuations (from weapon level 9) and equip the after-sprint rate-of-fire grip (from weapon level 4). If you prefer to reload less frequently, you can equip the magazine extension I instead of the long barrel, thereby sacrificing increased range. The short barrel (from weapon level 8) is a strong alternative to the long barrel, as it increases the ZV speed and rate of fire after sprinting.
M10 Breacher
What kind of weapon is this? This is a pump-action shotgun with a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. Holding down the trigger improves hip fire and aiming (ADS) accuracy. You can equip the weapon from player level 4 in your armory.
How to build the shotgun:
- Muzzle: ZV choke
- Barrel: Long barrel
- Stock: Reinforced stock
- Laser: Tactical laser
- Fire modifications: Fire ammunition
At lower levels, you can skip the fire modifications and instead equip the mini reflex sight 01, as well as the Strelok laser (from weapon level 8).
VS Recon
What kind of weapon is this? The VS Recon is a sniper rifle that allows for quick reloading. It has moderate recoil and stability. The weapon has a magazine capacity of 6 rounds. You can equip it from player level 4 in your armory.
How to build the sniper rifle:
- Muzzle: Silencer
- Barrel: Projectile speed barrel
- Grip: Quick-draw grip
- Laser: Handling laser
- Fire modifications: Rapid fire
If you are just leveling up the sniper rifle, you can instead opt for the long barrel (from weapon level 12) and the after-sprint rate-of-fire grip. And if you prefer not to be tracked on the minimap, you can equip the silencer.
