Best RK-9 Loadout in COD Black Ops 7

By newsgame


Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is here, and Multiplayer has never felt better. With skill-based matchmaking being dialed back, along with a roster of classic and new maps and weapons, along with new movement systems like the ability to wall jump, this year’s Call of Duty is definitely a strong entry for multiplayer specifically.

The Submachine Gun class is definitely a competitive one, with options like the Dravec 45 and the Razor 9mm already taking the title of some of the best weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. However, one niche Submachine Gun may be flying under many players’ radar, mostly because it is not a full auto option. Here is the best loadout for the RK-9 in Black Ops 7.

The RK-9 is by far the unique Submachine Gun of its class. This gun is a burst-fire weapon, which is sure to turn some players away, but as far as the SMGs go, it’s definitely a weapon to consider. The RK-9 ranks first in damage per shot in the SMG category, and mathematically has the best TTK of all SMGs within the first 9 meters, but quickly falls behind all other options beyond that point.

The RK-9 also ranks as the top option in terms of mobility by default and boasts the best level of handling for the category. Without altering its fire type, the gun can be automatically burst-fired by holding down the trigger, and is definitely relatively stable when firing, with players only needing to account for its vertical bounce with each burst shot. See below for the best build.

    • MFS Ironlung Handstop (Underbarrel)
    • Alliance Extended Mag (Magazine)

The above build mainly focuses on extending the weapon’s damage range to 12 meters, which keeps the weapon competitive within the close-range meta. Players may also notice the auto-burst feature has been removed, this time in favor of a much-needed boost in fire rate for an even faster potential TTK for those with a quick trigger finger.

As far as recoil is concerned, this build only really tones down the vertical kick a little bit, as it is fairly easy to control right off the bat. This gives players the freedom to run a Suppressor as their muzzle if they want to stay off the minimap.
