Top 5 Meta Loadouts in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 2

Feb-26-2026 PST

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has completely shifted the multiplayer meta. With weapon buffs, recoil adjustments, and DLC additions, several guns have separated themselves from the pack. Whether you prefer assault rifles, SMGs, or hybrid conversions, these five loadouts are dominating Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies right now.

 

This guide breaks down both full eight-attachment Gunfighter builds and trimmed-down five-attachment versions for players who prefer flexibility with their wildcard slot.

 

1. EGRT17-The DLC Laser Beam

 

The EGRT17 is one of the strongest DLC weapons added this season. It offers a fast fire rate, rapid time-to-kill (TTK), and surprisingly manageable recoil. Best of all, its iron sights are clean, meaning you don't need to waste an attachment slot on an optic.

 

Eight-Attachment Gunfighter Setup

 

 Muzzle: Red Well Shade X Suppressor

 Barrel: Compulsion Barrel (boosts bullet velocity)

 Underbarrel: Century Pro Hand Stop

 Magazine: Acute Mag (45) or Fuel Cell Mag (55)

 Rear Grip: Nanite Grip

 Stock: Tatter Stock

 Laser: 3 Matt Motion Strike Laser

 Fire Mod: Buffer Springs

 

This build enhances recoil control in every direction while increasing bullet velocity and damage range. In the firing range, it feels like a laser with elite sprint-to-fire and ADS speeds.

 

Five-Attachment Version

 

Remove the stock, laser, and fire mod. Keep the extended mag because the EGRT17 burns ammo quickly. You'll still retain excellent recoil control and strong TTK.

 

2. M15 Mod Zero-The Underrated AR

 

The M15 Mod Zero remains one of the most reliable assault rifles in Season 2. It doesn't need an optic thanks to its solid iron sights, and with the right tuning, it becomes a long-range beam.

 

Eight-Attachment Setup

 

 Muzzle: Red Well Shade X Suppressor

 Barrel: 18" Bowen Watchtower

 Underbarrel: Axis Shift Vertical Foregrip

 Magazine: Mayday Extended Mag 45

 Rear Grip: Hex Cut Grip

 Stock: Intervention Stock

 Laser: Motion Strike Laser

 Fire Mod: Buffer Springs

 

This setup maximizes recoil control while keeping mobility strong. You get steady aim walking speed, improved flinch resistance, and a consistent TTK across mid-to-long range fights.

 

Five-Attachment Version

 

Remove the barrel, laser, and stock. Keep the extended mag-30 rounds simply isn't enough. Even in this lighter form, the M15 remains a point-and-shoot laser.

 

3. MPC25-Hard-Hitting SMG

 

The MPC25 has received key buffs and is now one of the most controllable SMGs in the game. It hits hard and dominates close-to-medium engagements.

 

Eight-Attachment Setup

 

 Muzzle: K&S Compensator

 Barrel: 14.5" Vash Barrel

 Underbarrel: Vast Drip Lock Foregrip

 Magazine: Sustain 25 Extended Mag (40 rounds)

 Rear Grip: Magnate Grip

 Stock: Medusa Stock

 Laser: LT1 Swift Point Laser

 Fire Mod: Recoil Sync Unit

 

This build removes both vertical and horizontal recoil, turning the MPC25 into a controllable shredder. Sprint-to-fire and ADS speeds are excellent, making it perfect for aggressive playstyles.

 

Five-Attachment Version

 

Remove the laser, barrel, and magazine. This version focuses purely on close-range run-and-gun fights. You sacrifice some long-range damage but maintain strong recoil control.

 

4. Peacekeeper MK1-Buffed and Dangerous

 

The Peacekeeper MK1 recently received a balance update and is now one of the strongest ARs in the game. It's versatile, fast, and surprisingly lethal at close range when optimized.

 

Eight-Attachment Setup

 

 Optic: Lethal Tools ELO

 Muzzle: Red Well Shade X Suppressor

 Barrel: 23.5" Longbow Barrel

 Underbarrel: Lateral Precision Grip

 Magazine: Vulcan Reach Extension (40 rounds)

 Rear Grip: Dive Edge 7 Grip

 Stock: EAM Blitz Fire Stock

 Fire Mod: Bolt Carrier Group (or Buffer Springs for recoil control)

 

The Bolt Carrier Group increases fire rate, allowing you to outgun SMGs up close. However, it adds recoil. If you prefer stability, switch to Buffer Springs.

 

Five-Attachment Version

 

Remove the fire mod and extended mag, and simplify the build. It becomes more controllable but slightly less aggressive. Even stripped down, it remains competitive in the current meta.

 

5. MAA1 Auto-Strike Conversion-The Zero-Recoil Hybrid

 

The MAA1 normally functions as a burst marksman rifle, but with the Auto-Strike Conversion, it transforms into a full-auto assault rifle. The result? One of the most satisfying no-recoil weapons in Season 2.

 

Eight-Attachment Setup

 

 Barrel: Auto-Strike Conversion

 Optic: Lethal Tools ELO

 Muzzle: VAS 5.56 Suppressor

 Underbarrel: Iron Hold Angled Grip

 Magazine: Capacity Drum (52 rounds)

 Rear Grip: K&S Raise Grip

 Stock: Gridlock Stock

 Fire Mod: Buffer SpringsThis setup produces near-zero recoil. It feels unnatural at first because you expect kick, but the gun barely moves. You simply point and delete enemies across the map.

 

Five-Attachment Version

 

Remove the muzzle, underbarrel, and stock. You lose stealth and minor recoil benefits, but the weapon remains extremely controllable.

 

Best Wildcards and Equipment

 

If you're running eight attachments, Gunfighter is mandatory. For five-attachment builds, High Roller is the better choice to unlock an extra scorestreak.

 

Secondary

 

The VLOX 5.7 is a consistent and reliable pistol that complements every primary on this list.

 

Lethal & Tactical

 

 Assault Pack + Lucky Ammo Overclock for bonus score per kill

 Stem Shot + Cleanse Overclock to counter flashes, stuns, EMPs, and Neurogas

 Syntax with High-Density Explosive for stronger explosive impact

 

Perks

 

 Flak Jacket

 Scavenger

 Looper

 Tactician Hybrid (extra objective score)

 

This perk combination rewards aggressive objective play, helping you earn streaks faster while staying stocked on ammo.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Season 2 has introduced one of the most diverse metas we've seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The EGRT17 brings DLC dominance, the M15 Mod Zero remains criminally underrated, the MPC25 is now a top-tier SMG, the Peacekeeper MK1 has become a monster after buffs, and the MAA1 Auto-Strike conversion offers one of the smoothest shooting experiences in the game.

 

Whether you prefer aggressive SMG pushes, long-range AR beams, make CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies or hybrid conversions with zero recoil, there's a setup here that fits your playstyle.
