Opening days in a new CoD are about speed and consistency. Pick weapons that are easy to use, work at multiple ranges, and let you stay alive while you learn maps CoD BO7 Bot Lobby.

The M15 MOD 0 — reliable workhorse.
The M15 MOD 0 is a steady assault rifle that many players trust for early play. It has low recoil and solid handling, so you can hit headshots even while you move. Use attachments that boost ADS speed, recoil control, and magazine size so you can trade faster and stay in fights longer. This rifle holds lanes well and works in close fights if you keep moving. If you plan to lock down mid-range fights, make the M15 your main.

The Dravec 45 — run-and-gun with range.
If you like to push and flank, pick the Dravec 45 SMG. It has a high fire rate, good mobility, and surprisingly stable recoil for its class. The gun is great for close fights, but it can hold at medium range with the right barrel and optics. Focus on sprint-to-fire, hip-fire control, and a fast reload for this build so you keep the pressure up. The Dravec 45 is a go-to for aggressive players who want a simple, high-payoff kit.

M8A1 Marksman + M10 Breacher — the Overkill split.
If you want one setup that covers every range, use Overkill (or whatever the game’s primary/secondary slot system is called) to carry an M8A1 marksman rifle and an M10 Breacher shotgun. The M8A1 picks off targets at mid-to-long range. The M10 Breacher finishes fights when enemies close in. Swap fast and keep a secondary that can melt shields or break armor. This pairing gives the most flexibility without forcing you to change classes or playstyle.

Tuning attachments, perks, and field upgrades.
Pick attachments that match your aim and the map. If you play maps with lots of tight corridors, choose sprint-to-fire and handling boosts. If you play large maps, prioritize bullet velocity, range, and stability. For perks, Ghost or a stealth option helps you flank, while a healing or regen perk suits aggressive runs. Use field upgrades that give quick utility (armor plates, drones, etc.) so you can recover after trades and push with an advantage. These small choices make big differences in real matches.

Practice smart: use Bot Lobbies for drills.
If you want to try these loadouts without the stress of ranked play, use a CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies to warm up. Bot lobbies let you test attachments, learn recoil, and tune your movement on each map. They are a fast way to feel the guns and build muscle memory before you play live matches. Treat a bot lobby session as a short, focused practice run rather than a long grind.

Stick to a primary you can control and one secondary that fills its gaps. Play a few bot or casual matches to tune sensitivity and attachments. Watch a short clip of a top player using your chosen gun so you learn the common lineups and strafe angles for each map.
