Perks and Equipment to Use in Black Ops 7 Season 5
To get the most out of these Season 5 loadouts, you'll need to pair them with the right perks and equipment. Having the right equipment and perks can make or break a match, especially in competitive lobbies. Here's what perks and equipment to use based on your playstyle in Black Ops 7 Season 5.
Aggressive Run-and-Gun (SMG Loadouts)
If you're going to use the Sturmwolf 45 or the dual-wield Gremlin, you'll need to prioritize speed and quick recovery. Here's what you need to use.
- Stim Shot: Equip this in your tactical slot so you can instantly heal up after messy close-quarter gunfights and keep moving.
- Lightweight / Gung-Ho: Running either of these perks will keep your momentum flowing smoothly, allowing you to sprint faster and react quicker on the fly.
- Ninja: This is a crucial stealth perk that ensures you can flank the enemy team without your loud footsteps giving your position away.
- Semtex: Toss this sticky explosive for fast and precise area clearance when you're aggressively pushing into hardpoints.
Tactical Objective Control (AR and Marksman Loadouts)
If you're using an Assault Rifle or Marksman Rifle, a more tactical and grounded loadout will suit you. Here's what you need to use.
- Flak Jacket and Tactical Mask: These defensive perks are essential for holding down objectives, as they'll protect you against explosive and stun grenade spam.
- Scavenger: Since mid-to-long-range weapons excel at holding down lanes, this perk will keep your ammo fully stocked during long, game-winning killstreaks.
- Trophy System: Deploy this field upgrade to lock down power positions safely by intercepting incoming enemy projectiles.
- Frag Grenade: Bring a standard frag to bounce around tight corners and efficiently flush out opponents hiding behind cover.
