RSVSR How to Pick the 10 Best BO7 Zombies Guns Pre Season 1
By round 25, Black Ops 7 Zombies stops being a "run a train and chill" kind of mode and turns into crowd control, plain and simple. If you're testing builds in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby, you'll notice it straight away: the guns that feel fine early on start falling off, and the ones with reliable breakpoints suddenly matter way more. I've been bouncing between loadouts ahead of Season 1, trying to keep things practical—less theorycrafting, more "does this save me when a special spawns in my face."
Precision Picks That Actually Hold Up
If your aim's solid, the Shadow SK is the kind of sniper that makes high rounds feel unfair. It's not just damage—it's how clean it stays when the screen's busy. One-shot kills mean you're not burning through reserves, and that matters once ammo starts becoming the real boss fight. The stability helps a ton when you're trying to pop annoying weak points, like peeling off those beehive bits on a Zursa Bear without getting flinched into the sky. Run Stalker so you're not stuck moving like you're in wet cement, then lean into Critical Eye because you're already living and dying by headshots.
When You Need to Delete a Lane
The XM325 is the other playstyle entirely: point it down a corridor and commit. LMGs usually punish you for reloading at the wrong time, so the belt-feed attachment is basically non-negotiable if you're pushing rounds. You can keep firing through the "oh no" moments instead of praying you've got space to swap mags. Just respect the heat meter—overheating mid-swing is brutal. I'd skip rapid-fire mods since it already dumps rounds fast, and go FMJ instead so you're getting value through lines of zombies. When it's working, it feels like you're carving the horde into neat little sections.
Close-Range Options and Wild Sidearms
The M10 Breacher is odd in the best way. Charging the shot tightens everything up, and once it's Pack-a-Punched that charged blast turns automatic, which is just silly DPS for anything that walks too close. It's slower, sure, but it hits hard enough that you can play more confidently around corners. If you want something lighter, the MPC-25 scratches that old-school SMG itch—quick strafe, quick snaps—but the base mag is rough, so expect constant reloads until you invest in upgrades. And don't ignore the Jäger 45 pistols: they were nerfed for a reason, yet upgraded they still behave like tiny slug shotguns. They chew ammo, so Mule Kick or Deadshot keeps them from feeling like a short-term fling.
Wonder Weapons and Staying Alive on Purpose
Wonder Weapons are still the "okay, now we're serious" moment, but I keep coming back to the Ray Gun Mark II because it's safer in real fights. No splash means fewer accidental downs when you panic-fire at your feet, and it melts elites without forcing you to play chicken with your own explosions. The classic Ray Gun is a monster, but without PhD it's way too easy to ruin your run with one bad shot in a tight hallway. If you're also the type who likes keeping your setup stocked—whether that's topping up currency, grabbing items, or just smoothing out the grind—sites like RSVSR can be handy while you focus on learning spawns and dialing in your build.Welcome to RSVSR, where BO7 Zombies hype meets real, usable loadout advice. If you're gearing up before Season 1, don't sleep on the Shadow SK for clean one-shots, XM325 when you just wanna keep spraying, and the M10 Breacher for nasty charged deletes on elites like Zursa Bear.
