Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 arrives on November 14, but you can already go hands-on with the game during the BO7 beta. There are a handful of weapons and attachments to unlock, and the early access beta allows for progression up to level 20. This guide will focus on recommending low-level builds available to create during the beta, and we’ll update with a more in-depth loadout guide following the full launch of Black Ops 7.
This year’s new Gunsmith addition is the weapon build code feature. Weapon build codes are unique to each weapon and a specific set of attachments, making it easy to share and receive custom weapon builds. However, weapon build codes are not available in the beta, but will launch with the full release of Black Ops 7 on November 14.
Treyarch developers also shared their own personal loadouts for Black Ops 7. Make sure to check out all the weapons and loadout equipment available at launch. We also highlight all the multiplayer maps for Black Ops 7’s release.
If you’re on console, we have a recommended settings guide for getting the most out of Black Ops 7’s multiplayer and other modes.

For the muzzle, you’ll want to use the Hawker Stabilizer MK.II until you unlock the Monolithic Suppressor.

VS Recon
The VS Recon sniper rifle is inspired by the popular DSR-50 from Black Ops 2. This is a powerful, bolt-action sniper, and the recommended attachments will keep you off the mini-map when firing, increase damage range, boost the ammo count, and improve the movement speed.

M10 Breacher
The M10 Breacher is already becoming a menace in the beta with one-shot kills at a fairly decent range. This is a “pump-action charge” shotgun, and you can hold the trigger to improve hip and ADS spread for a tighter pellet spray. The recommended attachments will further improve the damage range, boost the ammo, provide recoil control, and increase hipfire accuracy.

- Muzzle: Redwell Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 17.4″ Redwell-5k Barrel
