Best Black Ops 7 Dravec 45 loadout

What is the best Dravec 45 loadout? It's easy to think that most submachine guns are designed purely for close-range combat, but that doesn't have to be the case thanks to the gunsmith system, allowing you to customize your weapons with attachments. In the case of the Dravec 45, the stock version of the SMG is superb, and with a few attachments it can become even better.

What makes the BO7 Dravec 45 stand out from its peers is its medium to long-range killing potential, making it one of the best Black Ops 7 guns available in the beta. Most importantly, the best attachments can be earned without having to spend countless hours leveling up the Black Ops 7 weapon, making it easy to obtain early on in your multiplayer game journey. If you're just starting out and haven't reached level 10 to unlock the Dravec 45, you can use the Operative default loadout to earn level ups on this weapon ahead of time.

• Muzzle: Bowen .45 Suppressor
• Barrel: 19" Horizon Fluted Barrel
• Rear Grip: Delta Axis Grip
• Stock: Endurance LD-6 Stock
• Fire Mods: Accelerated Recoil System

Being spotted on the mini-map is one of the easiest ways to get killed, especially against high-level players who will be glued to their radars in hopes of spotting any unsuspecting soldiers. Our first pick for the SMG is the Bowen .45 Suppressor muzzle attachment, stopping you from showing up on the mini-map whenever you fire your weapon.

As for the barrel, we've gone for the 19" Horizon Fluted Barrel to drastically improve the weapon's damage range. This allows you to take on enemies from much further distances, giving the Dravec 45 the damage range of an assault rifle.

The Dravec 45 lacks the recoil control of an AR, which is why we've gone for the Delta Axis Grip rear grip attachment, providing horizontal recoil control in addition to recoil stabilization. Now when you attempt to pick off enemies from far away, you won't need to pull down as hard on your weapon to keep the bullets straight.

We still need to address this glaring weak point; it's the only thing holding back the Dravek 45 from competing with the best long-range options. The Endurance LD-6 Stock attachment goes a step further, massively improving the vertical and horizontal recoil control, albeit at the expense of some aim down sight speed. This shouldn't be a problem as we're less focused on close-range encounters, so we're unlikely to feel this negative effect in combat.

To round off the loadout, go for the Accelerated Recoil System fire mod attachment to virtually eliminate the recoil on this weapon, upping the vertical and horizontal recoil control once more. With all of these attachments, the Dravec 45's long-range capabilities have been drastically upgraded. Pair this with a close-range pistol, and you have a loadout that is ready to go on every Black Ops 7 map.
