Best Pistol Builds in COD Black Ops 7

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is here, and the franchise may be bigger than ever with its release. Those jumping into Black Ops 7 have an incredible year of content ahead, with fast-paced Multiplayer, a Co-Op Campaign finalized with the replayable Endgame extraction mode, and nightmarish round-based Zombies set on Ashes of the Damned at launch, with another map expected as early as Season 1.

Most Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 players will be diving into Multiplayer, cycling through the game’s available weapons, grinding for camos, and customizing their guns with the best attachments to match their playstyle. When it comes to loadouts, primary weapons reign supreme, but a reliable Pistol is always worth having. After all, switching to one is faster than reloading. Here are the best builds for each of the Pistols in Black Ops 7.

Best Jager 45 Build

The Jager 45 is the standard Pistol that players will have access to, and it’s a solid option. It boasts a decent fire rate for those who have a good trigger finger and will likely serve as the go-to for players looking for a quick swap-to. However, as many will see with this suggested build, the Jager 45 can be turned into a whole other weapon entirely.

When paired with the Skull Splitter Barrel, the Jager 45 essentially becomes a Desert Eagle, capable of delivering a one-shot kill all the way up to 50 meters. Of course, this comes with some insane vertical kick, but with some recoil-reducing attachments and the tendency not to spam the trigger, it is the most powerful Pistol yet.

Best Velox 5.7 Build

Next up is the Velox 5.7, a burst-fire Pistol renowned for its high damage. Within 10 meters or so, the Velox 5.7 is a reliable two-burst kill if all bullets hit their target. This makes it one of the go-to options for use up close in the Pistol category among accurate players. However, there is a hidden perk to this weapon that may go unnoticed.

When equipped with the Jumpshot+ Barrel, the weapon swap speed of the Velox 5.7 is significantly faster, allowing players to get the weapon out sooner when their Primary weapon needs a reload. With other useful tunings, such as improvements to movement speed, better aim-down-sight speed, and increased damage range, the Velox 5.7 is an excellent option.

Quick Spine Grip (Rear Grip)

Best CODA 9 Build

Last up is the CODA 9, by far the best Pistol for those looking for one of the faster TTKs in the category up close. The fully automatic Machine Pistol is more than capable of shredding players in close-quarters combat, but its recoil is on the high side and can be difficult to control when engaging targets at medium range.

However, with the weapon’s signature 30 Round Extended Mag+ attachment, it essentially becomes a pocket SMG with superb damage range for its class. With a few more tunings, like increased damage range, reduced recoil, and improved ADS speed, the CODA 9 may just be the most reliable Pistol to use, especially for Sniper players.
