The Gremlin is one of the most aggressive SMGs introduced in Black Ops 7 Season 5, solely built to farm close-range kills.
With the right attachments, you can turn it into a laser that shreds at hip-fire and stays controllable when you start beaming across lanes. Here’s the best Gremlin SMG loadout to run in BO7 multiplayer.

The Hawker Series 45 compensator gives a noticeable boost to vertical recoil control. Since the Gremlin fires quickly and kicks up when you hold the trigger, this muzzle keeps your shots centered so you can stay on target during longer bursts.
The 9″ MFS Cestus barrel adds a small damage-range and stability bump. It also keeps mobility high. The Procural Extended Mag increases the magazine size to let you take full advantage of the Gremlin’s fire rate. The Saber Grip boosts handling, cuts your ADS time, and helps with weapon control when you’re snapping to targets.
Rhapsody Stock gives smoother strafe speed. Lastly, the 9mm Parabell Fire Mod rounds give the SMG extra stopping power, pushing damage and TTK into a more reliable range.

Gunfighter is the key Wildcard here to stack the extra attachments to unlock Gremlin’s full potential. Velox 5.7 covers you when you’re caught reloading. Melee is your personal choice here.
Mute Field helps you set up pushes by hiding footstep audio and equipment noise, making it easier to flank or retake objectives. Stim Shot keeps you in the fight by instantly refilling health, and Semtex is perfect for clearing hardpoints or chokepoints.
Gung Ho lets you sprint and fire or shoot while sliding. Assassin rewards aggressive pushes by marking HVTs and helping hunt down streaking enemies. Dexterity gives faster weapon handling and reloads so you can stay ready without slowing down.
These perks unlock the Enforcer Combat Specialty, which gives a movement and health regen buff after each kill.
