The Sturmwolf 45 is a full-auto submachine gun that arrived in Black Ops 7 with the Season 1 Reloaded update, and it’s one of the best weapons you can use in Multiplayer matches.
You can unlock the new SMG via the Fallout Event by earning XP, and it reimagines the classic UMP 45 with very low base recoil, strong headshot damage, and a fire rate that delivers a time-to-kill of around 560 ms on chest shots at close range, and outperforms the MPC in raw speed.
By default, it struggles with recoil patterns and damage drop-off beyond 20 meters, plus slower ADS and sprint-to-fire times that hinder aggressive playstyles. So, here’s the best loadout you can use that targets these weaknesses in Black Ops 7.

The 14.8″ Perigee Barrel extends effective damage range and improves bullet velocity, so your Sturmwolf 45 stays lethal and feels more consistent. The Envoy Foregrip underbarrel
will reduce recoil and keep your shots centered while you’re sprinting, sliding, and taking gunfights at awkward angles.
The Locus Extended Mag increases ammo per mag high enough to clean up multiple enemies in one go, which you need with a rapid-fire mod chewing through rounds. The Corpus-X3 Stock focuses on recoil control and stability at the stock, keeping your sight picture steady during sustained fire.
The Bolt Carrier Group Fire Mod dramatically increases fire rate, which gives you a faster TTK in close‑quarters fights at the cost of recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range.
This setup is ideal for aggressive entry fragging and lane rushing, and during 1v2 or 1v3 scenarios where mag size and fast TTK matter more than perfect recoil. And if you’re looking to dominate Battle Royale with this weapon, be sure to check the best Sturmwolf 45 loadout in Warzone.

Pick Perk Greed as your Wildcard to grab that bonus perk and layer on additional passive boosts. With this Sturmwolf 45 class, you unlock the Scout Combat Specialty, and it hides you from enemy minimaps entirely for five seconds per bullet kill, and each subsequent takedown refreshes the duration.
To activate Scout, pick Lightweight, Scavenger, and Cold-Blooded as your main perks. Lightweight amps up your sprint speed and movement tricks, Scavenger refills ammo and gear from eliminated players, while Cold-Blooded blocks AI aim, thermal scopes, and enemy scorestreaks. Fill the Perk Greed slot with Dexterity to minimize weapon sway on jumps, slides, dives, and wall-runs.
Choose Mute Field for your field upgrade, as it mimics Ninja and Ghost perks. Pair that with Stim Shot for instant health regen and speed boosts, plus Semtex as your go-to lethal.
