Best Dravec 45 Loadout in Black Ops 7 (Ultimate Setup & Unlock Guide) The Dravec 45 is dominating Black Ops 7 — here’s the strongest loadout and class setup right now

The Dravec 45 stands tall as the best SMG in Black Ops 7, outperforming every other close-range weapon in the game. Even though SMGs took a hit this year and assault rifles dominate the meta, the Dravec 45 breaks the mold thanks to its insanely low recoil, excellent handling, and versatility for both aggressive rushing and slower, more deliberate gunfights.

It’s so strong, in fact, that it has become the go-to SMG for pro players, showing up constantly in competitive matches. If you plan on grinding ranked play when Season 2 launches, this should be one of the first weapons in your lineup.

Below is the best Dravec 45 loadout, how to unlock it, and the optimal class to run alongside it.

🔓 How to Unlock the Dravec 45 in Black Ops 7

You can unlock the Dravec 45 by reaching Level 34.

A few tips to speed it up:

Completing the campaign first usually places you near this level.
Pure multiplayer grinding should take 4–5 hours.
Use Double XP tokens to cut that time significantly.

This is also the level where you unlock the Coda 9, the full-auto pistol available in Black Ops 7.

🔥 Best Dravec 45 Attachments in Black Ops 7

Here’s the strongest Dravec 45 loadout:

Muzzle: Hawker Series 45
Barrel: 19" EAM Horizon Barrel
Rear Grip: Helix-Tac Grip
Laser: LTI Swiftpoint
Fire Mods: Accelerated Recoil System

This build avoids Gunfighter and sticks to five attachments — but the Dravec 45 doesn’t need anything more. It already performs well with no attachments, so this setup simply makes its strengths even better.

Why this setup works:

Muzzle + Fire Mods: Major boosts to recoil control, reducing both horizontal and vertical kick.
Barrel: Extends damage range to prevent the steep drop-off the Dravec has at distance.
Rear Grip + Laser: Keeps you competitive up close with faster ADS and quicker sprint-to-fire speeds.

This combination creates a snappy, accurate SMG perfectly suited for rushers and objective players.
