With the best Black Ops 7 M15 Mod 0 build, you'll be able to lay down highly accurate fire and battle at a multitude of ranges. By default, the M15 has some pretty solid stats – decent damage, snappy handling for an assault rifle, and controllable recoil – which makes it a great base that can be improved a lot with the best possible attachments. With that in mind, here's the best gunsmith build for the BO7 M15 Mod 0 that you can work towards as you level up this assault rifle.
Best M15 Mod 0 attachments in Black Ops 7
As with most guns, adding attachments that focus on reducing recoil and increasing range without compromising handling to your M15 will help you win a wide array of gunfights:
- Optic: Personal preference (I like the Lethal Tools ELO)
- Muzzle: RL-5.56 Brake
- Barrel: 15" Mirage Light Barrel
- Underbarrel: Empty
- Stock: Intervention Stock
- Laser: 3mW Motion Strike Laser
- + if using Gunfighter Wildcard:
- Magazine: Mayday Extended Mag
- Rear Grip: Contour Grip
- Fire Mod: Buffer Springs or MFS 5.56 NATO FMJ Prestige attachment if you have it
The muzzle brake, laser, and stock are arguably the three most important attachments here for an M15 build that succeeds in the Black Ops 7 meta. The ones I've chosen heavily reduce recoil and flinch and increase range for better performance and ease-of-use at longer ranges. The shorter 15" barrel and Contour Grip help with handling, so you should be able to draw and aim your gun faster while performing all sorts of movement tricks.You can round things off with the Buffer Springs mod for further recoil reductions but since this build doesn't use a silencer, the MFS 5.56 NATO FMJ mod helps a lot by keeping you off the minimap when firing, increasing range, and making enemies hit flinch more. With that, you should have one of the best assault rifles in Black Ops 7.

Best M15 Mod 0 loadout in Black Ops 7
To go with your kitted out M15 Mod 0, you can use basically anything, and it's mainly going to be down to your personal preference. But there are some important considerations that will inform your perk choices for a well-rounded loadout:
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Scavenger or Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Dexterity
Lightweight and Dexterity are quite important if you want to make the most of Black Ops 7's advanced movement tricks without compromising weapon performance too much. For Perk 2, it's down to whether you value a regular supply of ammo and equipment with Scavenger more than faster reloads from Fast Hands. Bear in mind your decision here will also affect which Perk Specialization you'll come out with too – choosing Scavenger will give you Enforcer which is good for aggressive players while Fast Hands will give you Tactician to score some extra points. There is an argument for Ghost or Ninja in place of Lightweight if you favor a sneakier playstyle, but don't do this if you've chosen Fast Hands as your second perk as you won't get a Perk Specialization.
As for the rest of your loadout, that's pretty much up to you. I recommend using whichever sidearm you're most comfortable with as your Secondary, with the Jager 45 being good backup if you need to finish off an enemy, while the Coda 9's full-auto power means you can use it like a pocket SMG in really tight spaces. The Assault Pack is a good Field Upgrade if you don't opt for Scavenger, but there's no clear winner here for this loadout, and the same goes for your Tactical and Lethal – I like EMPs or Pinpoints for my Tactical and the classic Frag for my Lethal.
