Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 delivers a thrilling ride across its various modes, from a Campaign that players can enjoy with up to four players, to competitive Multiplayer where movement is king, and one of the darkest entries in the Zombies storyline. Whatever you are jumping into, there is always something to grind for.

When it comes to Multiplayer, players are already soaring through the ranks and figuring out where each weapon sits in the meta. While some may gravitate toward Black Ops 2 classics like the M8A1, one particular Assault Rifle that players unlock right away is definitely a solid option. Here is the best loadout for the M15 MOD 0 in Black Ops 7.

Scorestreaks are a necessity in Black Ops 7 Zombies if you want to easily kill waves of undead. Here's how to get them all and the best to use.

The M15 MOD 0 is the base Assault Rifle that all players have access to upon hitting Level 4 to claim their Custom Loadouts. Out of the options, it has the lowest damage per shot but excellent range, along with the second-best fire rate at 769 RPM, and an all-around solid set of stats that make it a gun you can build for most scenarios.

However, when building the M15 MOD 0 for the best loadout, one attachment stands out: the weapon’s FMJ Ammo. While FMJ Ammunition is usually a Fire Mod you should avoid since it is mostly useful for boosting damage against Scorestreaks, this attachment serves as the M15 MOD 0’s Prestige Attachment and doubles as a Suppressor while also increasing damage range and inflicting flinch on players.

This essentially removes the need to run a muzzle or even a range-boosting Barrel, making this particular attachment one of the most broken in the game. Pair this with the weapon’s already low recoil, add a few handling-focused tunings across the board, and you have an excellent Assault Rifle on your hands. Here is the recommended build for it:

With the above build, the M15 MOD 0 is tailored for both CQB fights with its incredibly fast aim-down-sight speed and movement, but it is also excellent for mid-range and long-range thanks to its effective damage range, holding strong all the way up to 67 meters.
