Best Dravec 45 SMG Loadout In Black Ops 7

Our recommended Dravec 45 loadout focuses on maximizing movement, reducing recoil to land shots consistently, and extending the damage range to stay effective at short to mid-range distances.

The goal is to make the weapon feel agile, so you’re ready to handle any situation.

Best Attachments For The Dravec 45 SMG in Black Ops 7

Here are the best attachments for the Dravec 45 SMG in Black Ops 7, designed to significantly improve player movement, weapon recoil, and damage range:

• Barrel: 19” EAM Horizontal Barrel
• Magazine: Gator Extended Mag
• Rear Grip: Herald-Z1 Grip

Next, the Herald-Z1 Grip and the EAM Heritage Stock combo improve player movement and overall weapon handling. This build enhances hip-fire accuracy, strafing, and mobility, along with ADS speed, sprint-to-fire, and dive-to-fire, making the weapon agile and highly precise.

Finally, the Gator Extended Mag increases your magazine size to 48 rounds, ensuring you don’t run out of ammo mid-fight. If you use the Gunfighter Wildcard (unlocked at Player Level 29), you should take advantage of the following additional attachments:

Dravec 45 SMG Stats In Black Ops 7

Check out the full Dravec 45 stats breakdown below. As with our Ryden-45K and Maddox RFB loadouts, these numbers reflect the base stats with no attachments equipped.

Damage Distribution

The Dravec 45 SMG boasts the third-best damage profile among the SMGs, making it a highly consistent option for mid-to-close ranges.

Damage Range

Since it’s an SMG and isn’t meant to be used at long range, the weapon still offers a very competitive damage range for its class. Our loadout significantly extends that range to help you get the most out of it.

Firepower

The Dravec 45 has a fairly competitive fire rate compared to its peers; however, this is the area where it falls behind most other SMGs in Black Ops 7. On the other hand, it boasts the highest bullet velocity among them.

Accuracy

Statistically, the weapon has the worst accuracy in its class, but it doesn’t feel nearly as bad in practice. With our loadout, we’ve significantly improved recoil control and aim down sights (ADS) speed, making it faster and more comfortable to use.

Mobility 

The Dravec 45 has slightly lower mobility than most other SMGs in Black Ops 7, which is why our best loadout focuses on improving movement across the board to make the weapon feel as snappy as possible.

Handling

Similar to its mobility, the weapon lacks handling prowess. Although it doesn’t feel as terrible as the stats suggest, our loadout improves ADS speed along with slide, dive, and jump ADS speeds, giving it the agility and comfort you’d expect from a competitive SMG for BO7’s Multiplayer.
