The MXR-17 is the hardest-hitting Assault Rifle in the Black Ops 7 Beta. The weapon might have the slowest fire rate in its class, but every shot packs a ton of power, and its top-notch accuracy also helps smooth out its TTK. With that being said, the gun does have its shortcomings, primarily its mobility, which has an impact on how the MXR feels in CQB. To help you iron out these issues, here’s the best MXR-17 loadout in the Black Ops 7 Beta.
Best Black Ops 7 Beta MXR-17 Loadout
- Optic: Lethal Tools ELO
- Muzzle: Redwell 7.62 Brake
- Barrel: 18” Rift-M7 Barrel
- Underbarrel: Sentry Pro Handle
- Magazine: Vault Extended Mag
- Rear Grip: Aria Assail Grip
- Stock: Gait-Lux Stock
- Fire Mods: Recoil Sync Unit
As mentioned at the start, this MXR-17 loadout for the BO7 Beta is all about improving the weapon’s mobility and handling, as well as tightening up the recoil. It starts with the Optic, and we’re sticking with the Lethal Tools ELO since it offers enough magnification for encounters across all ranges, while also being a clean sight.
Next, the Redwell 7.62 Break is a must as it cleans up the MXR’s hefty first shot recoil. Besides this, it also improves vertical recoil. The 18” Rift-M7 Barrel buffs both damage range and bullet velocity, adding some extra firepower to the weapon. The Sentry Pro Handle pairs nicely with the barrel and minimizes horizontal recoil.
With only 25 bullets in the standard mag, you’ll need an extension – the Vault Extended Mag is our pick. The Aria Assail Grip is another essential attachment, improving ADS times along with slide-to-fire and dive-to-fire speeds. For the final two attachments, we recommend the Gait-Lux Stock, which enhances mobility, and the Recoil Sync Unit, to further improve the accuracy.
Best MXR-17 Class Setup in Black Ops 7
With these attachments equipped, the MXR-17 is a mid-range beast in Black Ops 7. It can comfortably hold its own against full meta weapons like the Peacekeeper or M8A1, and take down enemies across all distances. To get the full set of attachments, you will need the Gunfighter Wildcard. When it comes to secondary weapons, pick the pistol you’re most comfortable with.
Perks & Equipment
- Perk 1: Flak Jacket
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Dexterity
- Wildcard: Gunfighter
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Drone Pod/Echo Unit
Our Perks selections are fairly standard and feature the best choices in the beta. In the first slot, Flak Jacket is a must since it reduces damage from explosives. Next, we’ve gone for Fast Hands, which buffs reload and weapon swap speeds. Rounding out the trio is Dexterity, allowing you to ADS while sliding, diving, and wall jumping – easily the most essential pick in the beta.
The classic Semtex and Stim Shot combination is our pick for the throwables. In terms of Field Upgrades, the Drone Pod has emerged as a nuisance across all maps and modes, while the Echo Unit is far more effective than what you’d first assume. Give both a spin and see which one you like the most.
And that wraps up our guide on the best MXR-17 loadout in the Black Ops 7 Beta. Which is your favorite Assault Rifle in the game? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
