Black Ops 7 Beta Perks & Gear Explained

Introduction

In Black Ops 7 (BO7), perks have been completely restructured into three distinct slots, each with categories (Enforcer, Recon, Strategist). This new design expands customization and allows players to fine-tune their class setups for aggressive pushes, stealth tactics, or objective play. Alongside perks, Gear items add even more utility, giving players ways to survive longer or support their team.

With the BO7 beta, players will get their first chance to test every perk, experiment with Gear, and discover the strongest combinations for Black Ops 7 multiplayer.

How Perks Work in Black Ops 7

Perks in Black Ops 7 are divided into Slot 1, Slot 2, and Slot 3, with each slot containing perks from the Enforcer, Recon, and Strategist archetypes. Players can equip one perk per slot, creating a balanced setup that fits their playstyle. This ensures no two classes feel the same and adds depth to competitive matches.
