Assault rifles tend to be very popular in FPS games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 since they provide a lot of flexibility in playstyle. Black Ops 7‘s AK-27 can be configured in many different ways, but it stands out from other ARs as having great close-range potential. With the right AK-27 attachments and some smart equipment and perk choices, you’ll be able to quickly dominate in the biggest video game release of November 2025.
You unlock the AK-27 at level four, meaning you should be able to start using it very quickly after Black Ops 7 goes live. It may take some grinding to get the exact AK-27 loadout below, but it will be well worth it. With the recommended attachments, equipment, and perks, the AK-27 dominates on Black Ops 7‘s multiplayer maps, which are littered with opportunities for close-quarters engagements, and hinges on disorienting and confusing enemies.
Best AK-27 Attachments In Black Ops 7
The AK-27 is a straight upgrade over the M15 MOD 0 in terms of accuracy, mobility, and handling. This can be a huge benefit in Black Ops 7 because of the typically small maps the series is known for. Try the following attachments on your AK-27:
-
Optic: any Mini Reflex or Reflex
- This is largely up to personal preference; I like the Lethal Tools ELO because of its open-frame design, but any of the 1x sights, which don’t have any stat penalties, will do.
- Barrel: 14″ Prism Light Barrel
-
Underbarrel: Flowguard Foregrip
- Helps rein in the AK-27’s horizontal recoil, but will also increase your mobility.
-
Magazine: Riker Flip Mag (30 rounds)
- Faster reload speed will be crucial for the AK-27’s close-quarters playstyle.
-
Stock: SWF-62 Variable Stock
- Better flinch resistance is the greatest buff from this stock, but being able to move faster while aiming is a nice bonus.
These attachments largely play into the strengths that the AK-27 already possesses. Being able to move, aim, and reload faster will help the AK-27 be effective with the rest of this loadout’s equipment. While the AK is fairly accurate, it does have an odd recoil pattern that pulls it up and to the right before stabilizing. This shouldn’t be much of a problem at close range, but if you’re caught fighting at a distance, you’ll want to keep that in mind.
Best Equipment For The AK-27 In Black Ops 7
Choosing which pistol to take is largely up to you, but I like using the Jäger 45 with the AK-27. Having a bit of extra range and precision with your sidearm is helpful when the AK is outfitted for up close. Similarly, selecting a melee weapon is negligible – choose the knife or the Flatline Mk.II depending on whichever you like more. For the rest of your AK-27 loadout equipment, I suggest these:
- Wildcard: Tac Expert
-
Field Upgrade: Echo Unit
- Overclock: Proximity Flash
-
Tactical: Psych Grenade
- Overclock: Distilled Compound
- Lethal: Molotov
The objective of this equipment is to disorient enemies and limit their mobility, while simultaneously keeping yourself mobile while securing objectives. The Echo Unit is great for tricking enemies into revealing their position, but since it can also capture objectives, it frees you to keep moving.
The Psych Grenade is a huge part of this loadout, and is the reason you sould take the Tac Expert Wildcard. Chucking a Psych Grenade on an objective or a packed room will help you push up close where the AK-27 shreds.
Molotovs are generally very useful, not only for doing AOE damage, but for cutting off routes as well. Between the Echo Unit, Psych Grenade, and Molotov, you have a lot of potential for chaos.
Best Perks For The AK-27 In Black Ops 7
Considering the attachments and equipment delineated above, use these three perks with the AK-27:
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Vigilance
- Perk 3: Dexterity
Having this combination of red and blue perks will give you the Scout specialty, which keeps you hidden from enemy minimaps for a short time after getting an elimination. This is crucial to your Psych Grenade and Echo Unit use, so that getting a kill won’t immediately reveal where you are. All equipped together, these attachments, equipment, and perks combine for a very powerful AK-27 loadout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
