Black Ops 7 Level Unlocks Explained 

Weapons & Attachments

At Level 1, you’ll have basic loadouts to help you level up and obtain more sophisticated Black Ops 7 weapons as you work through the progression system. Once you unlock custom loadouts, you can combine different sets of guns and customize their attachments.

Perks, Wildcards, & Killstreaks

All Black Ops 7 perks and wildcards are tied to your account level. You’ll unlock more of them as you level up, and each will help you level up faster. The same is true for Killstreaks.

Recon streaks, like the Scout Pulse, are especially useful for new players, as they provide much-needed confidence to go for multiple kills without dying. On the other hand, veterans can opt for the high damage streaks.

Zombies Progression Through Multiplayer Levels

While Black Ops 7 Zombies has its own progression track, it also overlaps with the Multiplayer mode, which means that playing the latter can be equally beneficial for those who enjoy multiplayer.
