M15 Mod 0 is one of the staple ARs in Black Ops 7 multiplayer, and a backbone for Ranked play, thanks to its low-recoil and a reliable five-shot kill potential across every competitive map and mode.
With Call of Duty League rules limiting weapon choices and attachments, the M15 Mod 0 loadout below is built to mirror what pro players actually run on stage, so you can take it straight into Hardpoint, Overload, and Search and Destroy without changing a thing.
If you are trying to climb ranks, learning the best M15 Mod 0 loadout is more or less mandatory in Black Ops 7 Ranked. With that said, here’s one of the best M15 Mod 0 loadouts to use in Ranked with the ideal set of attachments and Perks.

Best M15 Mod 0 build for Black Ops 7 Ranked

| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic |
Lethal Tools Elo (Precision Sight Picture) |
| Muzzle |
RL-5.56 Brake (First Shot Recoil Control, Kick Reset Speed, Vertical Recoil Control) |
| Barrel |
18″ Bowen Watchtower Barrel (Damage Range) |
| Rear Grip |
Contraband Grip (Horizontal Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization) |
| Fire Mods |
Buffer Spring (Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control) |
The Lethal Tools Elo optic is ideal for the AR because it provides clear sight for Ranked, with enough field of view, and doesn’t cause tunnel vision. The RL-5.56 Brake muzzle will improve the recoil of the first shot fired, while also improving the overall recoil control and the time taken for the recoil pattern to reset to its starting strength.
18″ Bowen Watchtower Barrel increases the damage range of the Assault Rifle, Contraband Grip improves recoil stabilization and horizontal recoil. Lastly, the Buffer Spring Fire Mods further enhance horizontal and vertical recoil control.
When you add recoil-control attachments on the muzzle and barrel, you turn that baseline into near-perfect beam potential, especially on long crosses in maps like Liberty Falls and Terminus. Because the M15 Mod 0 is the most used weapon in Ranked, mirror matches are common. The difference usually comes down to positioning, pre-aim discipline, and centering.
Best M15 Mod 0 class setup for BO7 Ranked

- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Secondary: Velox 5.7
- Melee: Personal preference
- Field Upgrade: Mute Field
- Tactical: Smoke
- Lethal: Semtex
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Dexterity
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
Equip the Perk Greed Wildcard to get the bonus perk and stack even more advantages on your M15 Mod 0 class. Tactician Specialty assists your team and earns you bonus score from bullet kills for 10 seconds, providing a hybrid support and offense combo.
Run Lightweight, Fast Hands, and Dexterity for your main three. Lightweight boosts your movement speed and makes slides and dives feel quick. Fast Hands lets you swap and reload weapons faster, while extending fuses when throwing back grenades. Dexterity reduces weapon sway during jumps, slides, dives, and wall runs. Equip Flak Jacket in the perk greed spot for reducing incoming explosive and fire damage.
Pair it with the Velox 5.7 pistol for quick swaps when your AR runs out of ammo. Pick Mute Field as your field upgrade to layer on ninja-quiet footsteps plus full Ghost stealth. Round it out with Smoke for blocking vision and Semtex for those guaranteed-stick lethals on objectives. Since it’s Ranked, some guns, attachments, lethals, and other items are restricted from usage.
