Tactical Equipment play an important role in Black Ops 7 Zombies. You may wonder why they are so crucial, especially in the initial rounds where zombies are weaker and spawn rates are low, making progress seem effortless. However, as you continue, enemies become harder to beat, and you may be overwhelmed.
This is where the Tactical Equipment plays its role: these items can help you with diverting and disorienting zombies and assist you in coming out alive from dying scenarios. Not all Tactical Equipment is unlocked by default; you need to level up to access them all.
This article provides all the important information regarding Tactical Equipment in Black Ops 7 Zombies.
Unlock procedure for all Tactical Equipment in Black Ops 7 Zombies explained
In Black Ops 7 Zombies, there are seven Tactical Equipment items available at launch. Out of these, a few can be included in your loadout, but others are exclusively available inside a match, where you can purchase them via the Crafting Table.

If you have played previous Zombies titles, you may be well acquainted with this procedure. However, if you are new, here is a brief explanation: Before you start your Zombies match, you must select a loadout. In your custom loadout, you can choose your primary and secondary weapons, one Tactical Equipment item, one Lethal Equipment item, a Field Upgrade, and a GobbleGum pack.
Specifically, when looking at the Tactical Equipment selection in the loadout menu, you will not find two of the seven items. You can equip one of the remaining five items (Stun Grenade, Stim Shot, Psych Grenade, Hunter Bot, and Decoy) on your loadout, but those specific two items (Cymbal Monkey and LT53 Kazimir) can only be purchased inside your match via the Crafting Table with the required Salvage.
Here are all the Tactical Equipment items along with the unlock criteria:
