The best loadouts for Warzone – Black Ops 7 season 1 meta guns

Call of Duty: Warzone's meta shifts with each update, offering new guns to pull out of your collection or old ones to pop back into your loadouts.

Whether you're firing at long range or dealing with enemies inside one of Verdansk's many buildings up close, your loadout has to stay fresh with what the top attachments are for when it comes time to maximize your chances of surviving the battle royale.

Keep up to date with what to use in your loadouts in Warzone's Verdansk with a whole bunch of new Black Ops 7 guns to play with.

Verdansk has been invaded by BO7 operators and weapons, and the new meta is rapidly being decided with each passing gunfight. Here are our picks for the best guns to use so far in season one of BO7.

Long range

XR-3 Ion

Slot Attachment
Optic Greaves Accu-Spot 3x
Muzzle LTI Triad Suppressor
(No Mini-Map Firing Ping)
Barrel 20" Iron Trinity Barrel
(Bullet Velocity)
Underbarrel Zero-S Handguard
(Aiming Idle Sway, Aim Walking Steadiness, Aiming Idle Sway Delay, Horizontal Recoil Control)
Fire Mods 7.62 NATO Overpressured
(Bullet Velocity)

A weird one at first thought, but players are quickly finding out that this burst-fire sniper rifle is dominant at just about all ranges in the early days of season one.

M15 Mod 0

Slot Attachment
Muzzle Redwell 5.56 Compensator
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 20" Delta-F2 Barrel
(Mid Damage Range, Horizontal Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization)
Underbarrel Axis Shift Vertical Foregrip
(Horizontal Recoil Control)
Magazine Mayday Extended Mag
(Magazine Ammo Capacity - 45)
Rear Grip Peregrine Grip
(Aim Down Sight Speed, Jumping Aim Down Sight Speed)

BO7's resident laser beam AR is still a good option for mid-range and long-range fights in Warzone.

Maddox RFB

Slot Attachment
Muzzle Redwell 5.56 Compensator
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 21" Turbine Booster Barrel
(Mid Damage Range, Horizontal Recoil Control, Recoil Stabilization)
Underbarrel VAS Drift Lock Foregrip
(Horizontal Recoil Control)
Rear Grip Harlequin Grip
(Sprint to Fire Speed, Jumping Sprint to Fire Speed)
Fire Mod Buffer Spring
(Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control)

One of the new guns in BO7 season one is a favorite so far.

Razor 9mm

Slot Attachment
Muzzle H-9mm Precision Comp
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 9" Heron Barrel
(ADS Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, Hipfire Movement Speed, Hipfire Spread)
Magazine Strikeface Extended Mag I
(Magazine Ammo Capacity - 40)
Rear Grip Microdot Recovery Grip
(Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, ADS Speed, Jumping ADS Speed)
Fire Mods Accelerated Recoil System
(Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control)

With a lightning-quick time-to-kill up close, the Razor is a top pick early on for fights up close. It quickly fails at mid range, but if you stay close, this is a beast.

Carbon 57

Slot Attachment
Muzzle K&S Compensator
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 8.5" VAS Radiant Barrel
(Recoil Stabilization, ADS Speed)
Underbarrel Sapper Guard Handstop
(Horizontal Recoil Control, Sprinting Movement Speed, Movement Speed)
Rear Grip Bombus Quick Grip
(Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, ADS Speed, Jumping ADS Speed)
Fire Mod Accelerated Recoil System
(Horizontal Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control)

The same above can be said for the Carbon 57, which has some brutal recoil. Keep your engagements within 10-15 meters, and this is a solid pick.

Kogot-7

Slot Attachment
Optic Lethal Tools ELO
Muzzle Hawker Series 45
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 8.5" Targil Hock-XR Barrel
(ADS Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, Hipfire Movement Speed, Hipfire Spread)
Underbarrel VAS Drift Lock Foregrip
(Horizontal Recoil Control)
Stock EMT3 Radix Stock
(Vertical and Horizontal Recoil Control)

One of season one's new guns, the Kogot-7 has a quick TTK.

Dravec 45

Slot Attachment
Muzzle Hawker Series 45
(Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel 14" Verse Barrel
(Damage Range, Bullet Velocity)
Stock EAM Heritage Stock
(Hipfire Movement Speed, Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed)
Rear Grip Herald-Z1 Grip
(Dive to Fire Speed, Slide to Fire Speed, ADS Speed, Jumping ADS Speed)
Fire Mod .45 Cal Overpressured
(Bullet Velocity)

Old reliable in BO7 multiplayer, the Dravec is also a good choice.
