Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 arrives with one of the biggest content drops in the franchise’s history. Not only does it bring the first wave of new multiplayer maps, the Astra Malorum Zombies chapter, and the full integration of Black Ops 7’s weapons into Warzone—Season 1 also includes several brand-new guns, melee options, and special weapons spread across the Battle Pass, seasonal events, and weekly challenges.

Whether you’re grinding multiplayer, dominating in Zombies, or preparing for the new Warzone meta, unlocking Season 1’s weapons quickly is key to staying competitive. This guide covers every Season 1 weapon, how to unlock them, and what to expect from the mid-season drops.

How to Unlock All Season 1 Weapons

Below is a complete breakdown of the Season 1 arsenal and how each gun becomes available.

1. Kogot-7 (SMG)

Unlock Method: Season 1 Battle Pass – Page 3 HVT Reward

The Kogot-7 is the first new weapon most players will get their hands on. As a free High-Value Target reward on Page 3 of the Battle Pass, you only need to unlock all other rewards on the page first.

How to unlock:

• Earn Battle Pass XP → gain Tokens → unlock Page 3

• OR use Tier Skips from the Battle Pass Bundle

• OR instantly unlock the page using BlackCell’s exclusive feature

Highlights:

• 39 weapon levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• MFS Kogot-7 Akimbo Prestige Attachment (dual-wield!)

This agile SMG is shaping up to be a close-range shredder in Season 1’s early meta.

2. Maddox RFB (Assault Rifle)

Unlock Method: Season 1 Battle Pass – Page 6 HVT Reward

The iconic Maddox returns from Black Ops 4, now re-engineered as a high-performance AR.

How to unlock:

• Unlock all other items on Page 6 of the Battle Pass

• Use Battle Pass Tokens, Tier Skips, or BlackCell Instant Unlock

Highlights:

• 43 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• 13″ MFS Echo-Fire Barrel Prestige Attachment (increases the second bullet’s fire rate)

Expect this to be a top-tier contender across both multiplayer and Warzone.

3. Ballistic Knife (Melee)

Unlock Method: Complete 6 Week 1 Seasonal Challenges

A classic Black Ops melee weapon returns, ready for stealth plays and stylish takedowns.

Highlights:

• 30 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• No additional attachments

Best of all—this weapon is free to earn for all players so long as Week 1 challenges are completed.

4. Sokol 545 (LMG)

Unlock Method: Naughty and Nice Holiday Event

This Light Machine Gun drops during the holiday-themed seasonal event. While the exact challenge requirements aren’t yet confirmed, the Sokol 545 should be earnable before Christmas.

Highlights:

• 39 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• MFS 48 Dread Burst Mod (converts the LMG into a 6-round burst)

Burst-pattern LMGs are rare in Call of Duty, making this an especially unique pickup.

5. NX Ravager (Special Weapon)

Unlock Method: Rally Point Event (Community & Personal Missions)

The NX Ravager is Season 1’s new crossbow-style special weapon. You’ll unlock it by participating in a limited-time event that tracks global community progress.

How to unlock:

• Complete personal tasks during the Rally Point event

• Wait for the community to complete global missions

• Once all objectives are done → weapon unlocks for everyone

Highlights:

• 30 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• Tribolt Prestige Attachment (fires three bolts consecutively)

A must-have for players who enjoy precision kills or unusual weapon types.

6. Hawker HX (Sniper Rifle) — Mid-Season

Unlock Method: Season 1 Reloaded Event

The Hawker HX will arrive with the mid-Season 1 Reloaded update. Its unlocking method hasn’t been detailed yet, but it is expected to be tied to a special event.

Highlights:

• 38 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• Prestige Attachment unlocks Tac Stance capability

Expect the Hawker HX to influence the long-range meta significantly once it drops.

7. Sturmwolf 45 (SMG) — Mid-Season

Unlock Method: Season 1 Reloaded Limited-Time Event

Another mid-season surprise weapon, the Sturmwolf 45 brings a new flavor to the SMG class. Its unlocking method will be event-based, similar to the Hawker HX.

Highlights:

• 38 levels

• 3 Prestige Camos

• Prestige Attachment increases weapon power at the cost of recoil control

Fans of aggressive SMG playstyles will want this unlocked ASAP.

How to Unlock All Season 1 Attachments

In addition to the new weapons, Season 1 adds multiple weapon attachments through weekly challenges. To unlock each attachment, you must complete 6 challenges from the week it appears.

Unlockable Attachments:

• Akita Scorchlink Akimbo (Stock)

• CODA 9 Adaptive Discharge Mod (Fire Mod)

• AK 27 Battle Scar Conversion (Fire Mod)

• M8A1 Full Auto Conversion (Fire Mod)

These attachments benefit a large variety of launch-day weapons in Black Ops 7 and help further expand the customization options in Warzone’s Gunsmith.
