Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Best Ryden 45K Loadout

Welcome to our Ryden 45K Loadout guide for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. In this guide, we will provide you with a powerful and beginner-friendly loadout for the Ryden Submachine Gun. The Ryden 45K sometimes throws off players who try it because (contrary to the in-game description) it has very high recoil and is difficult to control, spoiling the gun’s excellent damage profile. In this loadout, we will build the Ryden with attachments to bring the recoil under control and make it a much more efficient and versatile weapon.

We cover the best weapon attachments, perks and upgrades for your loadout.

Black Ops 7 Ryden 45K Loadout Summary

Out of the box, the Ryden 45K is a very rough gem. It has a fast fire rate and is light, offering you high mobility. These traits are perfect for fast-paced multiplayer combat, but they are difficult to harness because the Ryden has very bad recoil. Luckily we can largely solve this issue by using the correct attachments, creating a Loadout that excels in close to mid range combat.

We’ll be using the Gunfighter Wildcard to add as many bonuses as possible to the Ryden 45K, focusing on solving the recoil issue and improving your accuracy and damage.

This loadout will also make use of Dexterity, allowing you move around quickly and aim down your sight when you are jumping, diving and sliding. Once set up correctly, this build is quite versatile and very easy to play, but more skilled players can push it to its limit with expert use of Dexterity’s benefits.

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

Ryden 45K Loadout – What To Put in All Slots

To begin with, we’ll look at the basic elements of the best Ryden 45K 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	Ryden 45K	The Ryden 45K is a submachine gun with very good fire rate and mobility, but quite a lot of recoil.
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.
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	Assault Pack	Lucky Ammo (Additional score on kills)
Tactical	Stim Shot	Combat Performance Boost (Adds a move speed boost)
Lethal	Cluster Grenade	Tighter Packing (One additional mini grenade)

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!

The Assault Pack allows you to spawn ammo and equipment to resupply your team. The Lucky Ammo overclock passively increases the amount of score you earn from kills.

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 Ryden 45K as possible.
Perk 1	Ghost	Undetectable by enemy Scout Pulse and UAV when moving, planting, defusing, or controlling Scorestreaks.
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	Scout	When you get a bullet kill, stay completely hidden from enemy minimaps for 5 seconds. Additional kills during this period reset the timer.

The Gunfighter Wildcard and Dexterity perk are essential for this Loadout to work properly, and I don’t recommend changing them. Ghost gives you some resistance to being detected by UAVs, allowing you to stay off enemy players’ mini maps.

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. Just don’t pick a green perk or we’ll lose out on the combat specialty.

Speaking of the Combat Specialty, for combining only red and blue Perks, we get the Scout specialty. Whenever you get a bullet kill, you’ll be invisible from minimaps for 5 seconds. This is excellent for ambushing an enemy and then evading any immediate attempts to pursue you.

Ryden 45K Loadout – Best Ryden 45K Attachments

Now that the rest of the build is created, all that remains is to customise the Ryden 45K itself to ensure this rapid-firing submachine gun 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.

*If you’re still struggling with recoil with the above setup, you can change the suppressor for a compressor. This will reduce the recoil even more but the gun won’t be silenced anymore.
