Black Ops 7 Meta Guns: All Weapons You Can Unlock And Which Ones To...

Excluding knives, pistols, and launchers, you've got a total of 23 weapons to play around with in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. That's a lot (though two less than Black Ops 6), so it's not always easy to know what the best guns are at any given moment if you're more meta-minded.

Of course, if you're going for all the Black Ops 7 Mastery Camos, then you'll be using all 30 of the launch weapons eventually, anyhow. Even so, it's a good idea to start with the meta weapons in the event that they get nerfed and become harder to progress. Or, better yet, the worst guns get a buff later down the line.

It may be the very first assault rifle in the game, but the M15 loadout doesn't mess around. Seriously. To make up for its fairly average rate of fire for an assault rifle, the M15 has great mobility and handling. Plus, it's also got a reliable 315ms time-to-kill all the way out to 46 meters and little recoil compared to its counterparts like the MXR-17.

It's a great all-rounder, and you don't even need to lift a finger to unlock it. Honestly, it's basically the only weapon you need.

If you can manage to rip yourself away from the M15, your next pick should be the AK-27 assault rifle. It's got the third fastest time-to-kill of all the assault rifles at 264ms, but it's got effectively no range drop off, even compared to the M15.

Alongside this fast TTK, the AK-27 also boasts easily controllable recoil and great close-range handling, too. It's a jack of all trades, especially with mobility-boosting attachments in the best AK-27 loadout.

The SMGs aren't doing too hot right now, but it's hard to ignore the Dravec 45. This was the king of the beta, and although it was nerfed for launch, it's still a very strong pick. The Dravec is intended for close-range shootouts, and that's undoubtedly where it excels, particularly if you use mobility attachments. Basically, you want to slide and jump all over the place while rinsing enemies.

The Dravec also has surprisingly great recoil control and better damage drop off than any other SMG. In other words, you'd be surprised how strong the Dravec can be in medium range when the situation calls for it.

The other SMG that's worth using, and one of my favourite weapons in the entire game, is the RK-9. It's an odd SMG in that it's actually burst-fire, but it rocks an incredibly fast TTK. In fact, if you're using its Prestige attachmen
