The Ryden 45K is the first SMG you unlock in Black Ops 7, and it needs some work.
When you start playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, you'll already have a few weapons unlocked by default. One of those weapons is the M15 Mod 0, and another is the Ryden 45K, which is a submachine gun that we saw in the multiplayer beta. Of course, if you used the Ryden 45K in the beta, you'll know that it certainly needs some serious help when it comes to its loadout in Black Ops 7.
Below, you can see the strongest loadout of attachments for the Ryden 45K in Black Ops 7 multiplayer.
Best loadout for the Ryden 45K in Black Ops 7
The Ryden 45K's biggest strength, by far, is its fire rate. Due to this high fire rate, though, the Ryden 45K has some immediately noticeable recoil control problems and a low damage range compared to other SMGs in Black Ops 7. This means we'll be sinking a majority of our attachments for the Ryden 45K's loadout into accuracy and damage, giving it a much better chance at all ranges.
Here's our recommended loadout for the Ryden 45K:
- Muzzle: Hawker Series 45
- Barrel: 10.5" Greaves Whiptail Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lateral Precision Grip
- Magazine: Torch Extended Mag 1
- Rear Grip: Eruption Grip
- Stock: VAS Interlock Stock
- Laser: EMT3 Agile Laser
- Fire Mods: Recoil Sync Unit
Loadout Build Code: S01-91QT9-2XF51

As with most other SMG loadouts we've done in Black Ops 7, the Ryden 45K needs the Gunfighter Wildcard to succeed. It has so much recoil that we need to use all eight attachment slots to bring it down to a serviceable level. Five of our attachments aim to increase recoil control, and the Ryden 45K is now a laser beam when you fully-auto fire it. The rest of the attachments improve damage range, mobility, and magazine size, making for a quite balanced loadout for this SMG.
