Black Ops 7 M15 Loadout Summary

The M15 Mod 0 is an automatic assault rifle known for its amazing versatility. Its automatic fire and decent stability make it easy to use and strong at almost any range, only struggling at very long range shots. The mild imperfections of the M15 can mostly be rounded out by using the correct attachments and perks, which is what we’ll be covering in this loadout guide.

While an experienced player can push this Loadout to its limit and dominate matches, it also works great if you’re an inexperienced player. The M15 is a great starting point for a casual player because it’s one of the easiest guns to use in Black Ops 7 and performs well in practically all situations.

If you like the sound of this, then read on below and I will explain every aspect of the loadout.

M15 Loadout – What To Put in All Slots

To begin with, we’ll look at the basic elements of the best M15 loadout for Black Ops 7. I.e. the weapons, wildcard, grenades and perks.

Best Weapons

You can slot two guns and one melee weapon.

Slot	Weapon	Description
Primary	M15 Mod 0	We are using the M15 Mod 0 as the centerpiece of this build. As explained above, its versatility and high performance make it the perfect starting point for an awesome loadout in Black Ops 7.
Secondary	Jäger 45	The Jäger 45 is, in my view, the best secondary weapon in the game and can even be used as your main weapon for an off-meta pistol build. But for this loadout it’s purely there as a backup, and you can swap it for a second primary weapon during the match.
Melee	Any	Your melee weapon is not super important. I recommend trying them all out and just using the one you like the most.

Best Field Upgrade & Grenades

You can augment your loadout with a field upgrade and choose one tactical and one lethal grenade.

Slot	Item	Overclock
Field Upgrade	Active Camo	Recloak (Gunfire reveals you temporarily instead of ending the ability)
Tactical	Stim Shot	Performance Boost (Adds a move speed boost)
Lethal	Semtex	High Density Explosive (Increased damage)

The Overclocks are unlocked by using the items in games. When you reach a high enough rank with the item, you will unlock the overclock. Remember to open the item in your Loadout menu and equip the desired overclock!

Active Camo allows you to turn invisible, which is great for ambushing enemies. With the Recloak overclock, you can fire your weapon and then become invisible again. Use this trick to evade any enemies who you didn’t get chance to kill, move to a new position and surprise them.

The grenades are largely a matter of personal preference and you can change them if you want, but the speed boost from the Stim Shot’s performance overclock is very useful in a game where fast movement is one of the most important qualities of an efficient player.

Best Perks & Wildcard

You can choose three Perks and one Wildcard to fine-tune your loadout. You also unlock one Combat Specialty which depends on the colour combination of selected Perks.

Slot	Item	Description
Wildcard	Gunfighter	Doubles the amount of attachment slots on your guns, which will allow us to stack as many buffs onto the M15 as possible.
Perk 1	Lightweight	Increases your movement speed. Allows you to jump, dive and slide further.
Perk 2	Looper*	After spending your accumulated killstreak, you can begin earning a new one on the same life.
Perk 3	Dexterity	Reduces weapon sway. More importantly, allows you to aim down your sight when sliding, diving or wall jumping.
Combat Specialty	Enforcer	After each kill, you gain increased movement and health regen speed for a short time.

The Gunfighter Wildcard and Dexterity perk are essential for this Loadout to work properly, and I don’t recommend changing them. Lightweight is similarly very important – cranking up your movement speed as much as possible is really valuable in Black Ops 7 and will make it harder for enemies to keep up with you and hit you.

The Looper perk allows you to use multiple killstreak rewards in the same life. I prefer to spend it on cheaper rewards in quick succession, which can help out your team a lot by spamming UAVs, for example. But you can try saving up for more expensive killstreaks, too. The better you are at Black Ops 7, the more you can get out of this perk. If you’re a new player and struggle to amass killstreaks on even a semi-regular basis, then you can temporarily replace Looper with another perk of your choice. I advise going with any other red perk to keep the Combat Specialty the same.

Speaking of the Combat Specialty, for combining three red Perks, we get the Enforcer specialty. This gives you a boost to Movement Speed and some extra health recovery after you kill an enemy. This is a great little boost for fast-paced gameplay, especially when fighting multiple enemies at once. Just like with the Looper perk, the better you get at the game the more you’ll get out of the Enforcer perk. While this Loadout is easy for anyone to play, there is still a very high skill ceiling, offering room to grow for players seeking a challenge.

M15 Loadout – Best M15 Attachments

Now that the rest of the build is created, all that remains is to customise the M15 itself to ensure this versatile and powerful assault rifle fulfills its potential. As mentioned above, you will need the Gunfighter Wildcard to slot all of the attachments mentioned below. You also might need to play the game for a while to unlock everything here. If selecting a placeholder attachment (because an advised option isn’t available yet) avoid anything with negative effects, particularly if they reduce your speed, stability or accuracy.

Slot	Attachment	Description
Optic	Empty	We found the default Optic works fine, but you can replace it if you prefer one of the other options.
Muzzle	Redwell 5.56 Compensator	Reduces your vertical recoil, improving your accuracy in sustained bursts.
Barrel	16.5″ Fusion Barrel	Improves your damage range and bullet velocity.
Underbarrel	Ironhold Angled Grip	Significantly improves stability, reduces weapon sway and reduces horizontal recoil.
Magazine	Mayday Extended Mag	Increases your magazine ammo capacity without any downsides.
Rear Grip	Peregrine Grip	Aim down your sight faster.
Stock	Wander-3V Stock	You can walk faster while aiming.
Laser	3mW Motion Strike Laser	Improves damage range and recoil stabilization.
Fire Mods	Buffer Spring	Reduces recoil, both vertical and horizontal.
