Whether it’s jumping into Co-Op action with the Campaign, surviving against endless hordes of the undead and completing Easter Eggs in Zombies, or wall-jumping into the competition with Multiplayer, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers heaps of fun and the largest amount of content of any Call of Duty to date. Pair all that with 30 solid weapons at launch, and players truly have the next big shooter on their hands.

On the topic of weapons, Black Ops 7 brings a ton of new options for players to try out, along with a few fan favorites like the M8A1 returning to the spotlight. While some weapons are versatile across all ranges, others put all their strengths into completely shredding the competition up close. This is the case with the Ryden 45K, one of the fastest killing SMGs in the game. Here is the best loadout for the Ryden 45K in Black Ops 7.

Best Ryden 45K Loadout in Black Ops 7

Updated best Ryden 45k loadout in Black Ops 7

The Ryden 45K is an SMG that definitely falls into one of the better weapons for close-quarters combat. Although it ranks as the second fastest-firing weapon with a 909 RPM, players will definitely feel it, as it boasts a pretty fast TTK within the first 10 meters. This high fire rate is paired with middle-of-the-pack damage per shot that ramps up to solid firepower in no time on targets.

The Ryden 45K is also snappy and fast, but its vertical kick and horizontal shake when holding down the trigger are definitely things players may need to focus on toning down and controlling. While the weapon’s horizontal shake cannot truly be eliminated, with the right setup, it becomes manageable. See below for the best attachments to run.

Ryden 45K Loadout Benefits

Updated best Ryden 45k loadout in Black Ops 7 - 2

The above build for the Ryden 45K is a solid pick for finding a balance between keeping the weapon’s mobility and handling high, while also providing players with an excellent main weapon for close-range gunfights, or even a Sniper support option if you choose to run the Overkill Wildcard. While it is far less effective beyond 25 meters, before that falloff range, it is a meta contender.
