The Maddox RFB is one of the new weapons introduced in Black Ops 7 Season 1, and you must use the best loadout for the assault rifle if you want to dominate multiplayer matches in Nuketown or other maps.
The Maddox RFB is a full‑auto bullpup AR that has a high rate of fire, a large default 40‑round magazine, and low recoil. It’s one of the best choices for short-to-mid‑range combat, and returns from Black Ops 4 as one of the fan‑favorites in BO7.
It has a wide attachment pool, and thanks to its fast handling and manageable kick, the Maddox is especially strong in objective modes where you need to snap between multiple targets and stay in the fight without constant reloading. With that said, here’s one of the best loadouts to use for the Maddox RFB in Black Ops 7.

Best Maddox RFB loadout in BO7 Multiplayer
Before you proceed with the best build and class setup, take a look at how to unlock the Maddox RFB in BO7.
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle |
Redwell 5.56 Compensator (Vertical Recoil Control) |
| Underbarrel |
VAS Drift Lock Foregrip (Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Rear Grip |
Horus Accuracy Grip (Horizontal Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization) |
| Stock |
Furrow Control Stock (Vertical and Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Fire Mods |
Buffer Spring (Vertical and Horizontal Recoil Control) |
Since the recoil of the Maddox RFB can be somewhat overwhelming, I am opting for the attachments that will minimize recoil.
So, start with the Redwell 5.56 Compensator as it significantly reduces vertical recoil of the AR. The short and wide VAS Drift Lock Foregrip will take care of the weapon’s horizontal recoil. Horus Accuracy Grip stabilizes the recoil further and also aids horizontal recoil of the weapon.
The Furrow Control Stock adds a bit of weight to the gun and thereby reduces vertical and horizontal recoil further. Lastly, Buffer Spring will further reduce both vertical and horizontal recoil.
If you want more bullet velocity from the AR, replace the Redwell 5.56 Compensator with the Monolithic Suppressor and remove the VAS Drift Lock Foregrip, and attach the 21″ Turbine Booster Barrel.
Best Maddox RFB class setup in BO7
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Secondary: Personal preference
- Melee: Personal preference
- Field Upgrade: Drone Pod
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Semtex
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Dexterity
- Perk 4: Scavenger
Stacking an extra Perk with Perk Greed gives you a huge edge in multiplayer matches, letting you outmaneuver opponents easily. Pick whatever secondary weapon or melee fits your style, as it’s all about what feels right in your hands.
Go with the Drone Pod as your field upgrade, upgraded to Quick Launcher mode for rapid drone deployment that nets fast kills and dominates sightlines. This setup shines for bold pushes, giving your squad cover fire to advance without getting pinned down.
The classic Semtex paired with Stim remains a top pick for multiplayer. Coming to the Perks, use Lightweight to boost your sprint speed and quicken recovery after slides or jumps, keeping you fluid in frantic fights. Fast Hands speed up reloads and weapon switches so downtime never costs you a gunfight.
Dexterity cuts fall damage and steadies your aim during jumps, slides, dives, or wall-runs for cleaner shots on the move, and Scavenger refills your ammo and throwables off dead enemies.
