Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Weapons List

There are a ton of awesome weapons to choose from in Call of Duty Black Ops 4, from powerful assault rifles to laser-precise sniper rifles. We’ve listed them all below, broken up by category, alongside the required unlock level.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Assault Rifles

Even though Black Ops 4 doubles down on the lightning fast twitch gameplay that has dominated first-person shooters over the last few years, assault rifles are still a viable choice. You’ll get more stability and range than you will with an SMG, and running with an assault rifle will ensure you’re up for all kinds of engagements. Let’s take a look at all of the Black Ops 4 Assault Rifles.

Name	Description	Level Unlock
ICR-7	Improved accuracy with low recoil	Default
KN-57	Well balanced with moderate recoil	10
Rampart 17	Strong damage with slow fire-rate	22
Vapr-XKG	Superior mobility and reliable damage	28
Maddox RFB	High fire rate with more ammo	40

Black Ops 4 Best Assault Rifle - the best assault rifle in Black Ops 4 is the Vapr-XKG. It has incredibly good mobility, something you'll need in a game as fast-paced as Black Ops 4.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 SMGs

In Black Ops 4, SMGs are kinda king. The fast-paced nature of the matches, and the relatively small size of the maps really lend to having a fast-firing weapon. There are a few different types that you can choose from, so be sure to take a look at the info below.

Name	Description	Level Unlock
MX9	Fast firing with moderate recoil	Default
GKS	Low recoil, accurate at range	13
Spitfire	Fastest fire rate	25
Cordite	Good fire rate and large ammo pool	31
Saug 9mm	Fastest handling and movement	40

Black Ops 4 Best Submachine Gun - in our opinion, the best submachine gun in Black Ops 4 is the Spitfire. It's Operator Mod gives it the fastest fire rate in the game, making it incredibly deadly.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Tactical Rifle

Tactical Rifles can be amazing when paired with the right attachments. They require a bit more care when aiming, but if you manage to land shots at the chest or above, it’s game over for your opponent. Take a look at the Black Ops 4 Tactical Rifles below:

Name	Description	Level Unlock
Auger DMR	Semi-auto with high damage	6
ABR 223	Powerful 3-round bursts with mid range accuracy	19
Swordfish	4-round burst for long range precision	34

Black Ops 4 Best Tactical Rifle - the best Tactical Rifle in Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is the ABR 223. The Burst Accelerator Operator turns it into an OP killing machine, capable of dominating firefights of all types.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 LMGS

LMGs are extremely powerful, but have dangerously high recoil. You can ease this with the right attachments and technique, making them really deadly in the right hands. Here’s all of the Black Ops 4 LMGs:

Name	Description	Level Unlock
Titan	Reliable firepower with the largest ammo pool	Default
Hades	Full-auto light machine gun. Highest fire rate in class with moderate recoil.	N/A
VKM 750	Full-auto lightmachine gun. Highest damage in class with low mobility.	N/A

Black Ops 4 Best LMG - the best LMG in Call of Black Ops 4 is the Titan. It is surprisingly effective despite its weight, and you'll likely see a fair few players using it more like an assault rifle than anything else.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles seem to be becoming less and less useful as more CoD games release. There’s still some fun to be had though in Black Ops 4, especially if you’ve got an eye for precision. We’ve listed all of the Black Ops 4 Snipers below:

Name	Description	Level Unlock
Paladin HB50	High damage bolt-action. 1-shot kill to head, chest, and shoulders	Default
Outlaw	Bolt-action sniper rifle. Fast rechamber, 1-shot kill to head and upper chest	N/A
SDM	Semi-auto sniper rifle. Fast firing with larger ammo pool. Reliably eliminates enemies with 2 shots	N/A
Koshka	Fast handling bolt-action. 1-shot kill from the chest up	16

Black Ops 4 Sniper Rifles - for our money, the best sniper rifle in Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is the Koshka. If your accuracy is good, you'll one-shot kill other players extremely easy. It doesn't have as much ammo as the others, so it's a good idea to have the Scavenger Perk equipped.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Secondary Weapons

A lot of players will neglect their secondary weapon slot, after all, why would you need a pistol when you have a machine gun? Well, there are plenty of reasons why it is good to have a plan B, but the main one is to offer you more choices with how to engage your opponents. We’ve listed all of the Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Secondary Weapons below:

Name	Description	Level Unlock
Strife	Semi-auto, standard-issue sidearm	Default
RK 7 Garrison	3-round burst pistol. Fast cyclic rate of fire with moderate recoil	N/A
Mozu	High damage revolver with manual reload	25
MOG 12	Pump-action buckshot for reliable 2-shot kill	Default
SG12	Semi-auto with good damage and high recoil	34
Hellion Salvo	Rocket launcher that features either lock-on or free-fire	Default

Black Ops 4 Best Secondary Weapon - the best choice for secondary weapon is likely the RK7. You won't get much out of a shotgun unless you want to spend attachments and slots beefing it up, and the Hellion Salvo is incredibly difficult to use.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Best Weapons

Now that we’ve spent some time with Black Ops 4, we’ve got some thoughts on what the best weapons are. While we will concede that a lot of it comes down to personal preference and playstyle, there are some weapons that are simply better than others. You’ll find our picks for the Black Ops 4 Best Weapons below:

• Titan LMG - a very consistent weapon with a four-shot kill. Loading this with the right attachments like Quickdraw and Stock is a great way to go.
• MX9 - Once you’ve equipped rapid fire, advanced mag, stock on the MX9, it is the ultimate SMG. You’ll have a fair bit of recoil, but keep your aim steady and you’ll fill opponents with a ridiculous rate of fire.
• ABR 223 - the ABR is an absolute beast when paired with the Burst Accelerator Operator Mod. It allows you to fore incredibly fast burst rounds while holding down the trigger, with a very short time to kill.
