Warzone Season 1 patch goes live today, and with that, players must know which Black Ops 7 weapons have the chance to be the meta of the title. With the launch of the first seasonal patch, Black Ops 7 weapons and game mechanics will be integrated into Warzone. Thus, players must level up certain guns in Black Ops 7 if they wish to use them in Warzone with all the attachments unlocked.

Thus, this article will provide a list of the top 10 Black Ops 7 weapons that you can level up, which have the chance of being the meta in Warzone.

Which weapons to level up before the launch of Warzone Season 1?

The stats of the guns in Warzone will be similar to those of Black Ops 7 multiplayer, with some differences. Thus, we can analyze the stats of the current gun roster of BO7 and have an idea about the meta of Warzone.

Here is the list of the top 10 weapons that you can level up in Black Ops 7, so that you have access to all of their attachments when you use them in Warzone after the launch of the Season 1 patch.

1) Mk. 78 (LMG)

The Mk. 78 is a powerful LMG that has a high chance of being meta in Warzone. With its extended magazine, low recoil, and a low TTK value, this gun has the potential to chew through an entire squad in Warzone before you even have to think of reloading.

2) Dravec 45 (SMG)

The Dravec 45 has been the close-range meta in Black Ops 7 since launch, and it will most likely also be the SMG meta in Warzone Season 1. This SMG boasts a clean iron sight, alongside superb mobility and high magazine capacity, making it one of the best CQC weapons for both the BO7 multiplayer and Warzone battle royale modes.

3) VS Recon (Sniper Rifle)

The VS Recon is currently one of the best quick-scope sniper rifles available in Black Ops 7. This quick-scoping potential will most likely transfer over to Warzone, turning it into a lethal mid-range weapon, which will most likely one-shot the opponents if a headshot gets registered. All the high-skilled sniper players should have this gun levelled up before the arrival of Warzone Season 1.

4) X9 Maverick (Assault Rifle)

The X9 Maverick is a superb burst rifle in BO7, which is highly accurate and can consistently eliminate enemies in close to mid-range engagements. If these characteristics of this assault rifle get transferred over to Warzone in the Season 1 patch, it has a high potential of being the main meta assault rifle of the battle royale mode.

5) MXR-17 (Assault Rifle)

Unlike the X9 Maverick, which performs really well in close to mid-range engagements, the MXR-17 assault rifle has the potential to be a powerful mid to long-range meta AR in Warzone. Although its fire rate is on the lower end, its hard-hitting bullets and superb accuracy will make it a wonderful choice for quick enemy elimination in Warzone Season 1.

6) M15 MOD 0 (Assault Rifle)

Just like Dravec 45, the M15 MOD 0 has been the main meta in Black Ops 7 since the launch of the title. When the Warzone Season 1 patch drops, this assault rifle also has a high chance of featuring in the meta list due to its very low recoil, firing steadiness, and super TTK stats. If you don't have this gun max-levelled, then it is highly recommended that you level it up before the launch of the first seasonal patch of Warzone.

7) Razor 9mm (SMG)

The Razor 9mm boasts a blisteringly high rate of fire, which can chew through the health bar of the enemies in the blink of an eye. However, this high rate of fire causes the gun to have a very erratic recoil pattern, which you will most likely struggle to control. However, in the indoor gunfights, this SMG will be a terror in the hands of skilled players, and it should be max levelled before the launch of Warzone Season 1, if you wish to reduce its recoil as much as possible with the right attachments.

8) M8A1 (Marksman Rifle)

The M8A1 is the best marksman rifle of Black Ops 7. Its highly accurate 4-round burst can take down any opponent with the single press of the trigger in the multiplayer mode. If it can retain this characteristic in the battle royale mode, then it will be a real terror to face when the Black Ops 7 weapons get integrated after the Warzone Season 1 patch.

9) M34 Novaline (Markaman Rifle)

The M34 Novaline is a two-tapper in the multiplayer mode of BO7. If this gets carried over to the battle royale mode, and this burst gun is even able to get an elimination in just two quick headshots, then we might be looking at the advent of a marksman rifle meta in Warzone Season 1.

10) Warden 308 (Marksman Rifle)

Another marksman rifle with the potential of being the meta of Warzone Season 1 is the Warden 308. This hard-hitting marksman rifle can eliminate its opponents in just a single shot in BO7 if a chest or a headshot gets registered. Although this will most likely not be the same in the battle royale mode, if the gun can get an elimination in Warzone with just one headshot, it will definitely be an exceptional mid-to-long range meta weapon in Season 1.
