Season 1 is finally here and Warzone feels wide open again, with Black Ops 7 fully tied into the battle royale and every BO7 gun sitting right there in your loadouts, so if you have been testing stuff in CoD BO7 Bot Lobby you will recognise a lot of the firepower that is now flooding the big map. You can hang on to your old favourites if you really want to, but once you get into those last few circles you will notice the difference: BO7 weapons hit harder, snap on target faster, and they are shaping the meta in a way that older rifles and SMGs just can not keep up with for most players.
New Class Building Rules
The way you build classes has shifted quite a bit, and it catches people out if they are jumping in blind. Wildcards from Black Ops 6 are gone, so you will not be stacking perks in the same way as before. The good news is that Overkill is now baked in by default, which is huge for anyone who likes to run a sniper plus an SMG or an AR plus a close-range shredder without wasting a perk slot. The flip side is stricter: with Gunfighter removed, each weapon is capped at five attachments. You can not just load up a gun with everything that looks good; you have to pick the attachments that actually matter for recoil, range and handling, and that means making calls like dropping a grip to keep a better barrel.
Gunsmith And Build Codes
The Gunsmith itself still feels familiar once you scroll around a bit, but there is one new trick that saves loads of time. Every exact set of attachments now creates a unique weapon build code, and you can see or share it straight from the menu by pressing L3 while you are on that gun. Instead of pausing a streamer’s video every two seconds trying to catch a muzzle name, you just punch in the code and the build appears on your screen. It works both ways as well: when you put together something that beams across the map or deletes people up close, the game shows a short code in the corner so you can pass it to your squad without trying to describe every attachment in party chat.
Chasing The Meta And Perk Changes
Because BO7 guns are now driving the pace of fights, most of the top meta setups this season mix long-range control with fast swap speed and reliable mobility, and a lot of people are treating their second primary as pure support for that reason. You will see more builds where players drop one comfort attachment to keep a tighter recoil pattern or better damage drop-off, especially now that there is that hard five-slot limit. On top of all that, the perk system has been shaken up again for Season 1, so it is worth actually digging into a perk guide and not just copying last year’s setup, as the right combo can mean you survive one more rotation, win one more 1v1, and get more time to test new guns in u4gm CoD BO7 Bot Lobby.
