Black Ops 7 Season 5: all weapons (and attachments) and how to unlock them

In brief

Black Ops 7 Season 5 unlocks six new weapons and six attachments spread across the entire season. Between the Battle Pass, the Machine of War event, weekly challenges, and the Mystery Box in Zombies, there's something for everyone — but be careful, some rewards are only available during the season.

Season 5 of Black Ops 7 brings six new weapons and six weekly attachments to the table. Some are obtained via the Battle Pass, others require grinding challenges or digging through the Mystery Box in Zombies mode. Here's everything you need to know, in order.

The four launch weapons of the season

Four weapons are available right from the start of Season 5, outside of Zombies mode. Two come through the Battle Pass, one through a limited-time event, and the last through weekly challenges.

FG42 (Assault Rifle) - Final reward of Page 3 of the Battle Pass. Progress through the pass, reach the last slot on this page, and the weapon is yours. Nothing more complicated than that.

Gremlin SMGs (Dual-Wield) - Same logic, but on Page 6 of the Battle Pass. The pair unlocks all at once once the last reward on this page is obtained.

Mammoth (LMG) - This one doesn't go through the Battle Pass. You need to complete the Machine of War event. Finish the event in its entirety and the Mammoth drops automatically.

Mace (Melee Weapon) - Obtained by completing 6 Week 2 challenges. No shortcuts: all six, not five.

The two Legacy weapons exclusive to Zombies

These two come from Black Ops 6 and are reserved for Zombies mode. There's no farming them in multiplayer or battle royale.

  • Olympia (Shotgun) - Ultra-rare weapon, only available in the Mystery Box in Zombies. It's pure RNG. Pray when you open the box!
  • TR2 (Marksman) - Same method: Mystery Box in Zombies, ultra-rarity. Same RNG, same patience required.

Note

These weapons can't be obtained anywhere else. If you're not a regular in Zombies mode, now's the time to start.

The six weekly attachments

Over the course of the season, six attachments unlock each week by completing 6 weekly challenges. Challenges drop every Thursday at 6 PM Paris time. Note: if you miss a week, the corresponding attachment will be recoverable in the Armory once the season ends - but it's better not to let the backlog pile up.

Attachment How to unlock
Jäger 45 Grid-Breaker Kit 6 Week 1 challenges
M34 Novaline Garand Conversion 6 Week 3 challenges
EAM IR-VIZ Thermal Reflex 6 Week 4 challenges
M15 Mod 0 AMR .50 Cal Kit 6 Week 5 challenges
RK-9 Calibrated Strike System 6 Week 6 challenges
Peacekeeper MK1 Gauss Accelerator 6 Week 7 challenges

No attachment corresponds to Week 2 in this table - Week 2 is already taken up by the Mace.

What happens after Season 5

Good news if you're feeling lazy right now: at the end of the season, all unlocked weapons and attachments will move into the Armory. You'll be able to recover them later, likely through challenges or weapon XP. But the exact conditions of the Armory aren't specified for this season - better to grind everything while it's still live rather than count on it. But it's your call!

Frequently asked questions

How do you unlock the FG42 and Gremlin SMGs without a brutal grind?
Both come through the Battle Pass: FG42 as the final Page 3 reward, Gremlin as the final Page 6 reward. Just progress normally through the pass — nothing complicated if you play regularly.
How do you get the Mammoth?
Through the Machine of War event. Complete the event in full and the weapon drops automatically — no shortcut or hidden challenge.
Can the Olympia and TR2 Zombies weapons be unlocked anywhere other than Zombies?
No, they're ultra-rare and only drop from the Mystery Box in Zombies mode. It's pure RNG, so arm yourself with patience and points.
At what exact time do the weekly attachment challenges unlock?
Every Thursday at 6pm Paris time. Six challenges for one attachment — miss a week and you'll be able to get it from the Armory after the season, but there's no guarantee on the conditions.
What happens to weapons and attachments not unlocked after Season 5?
Everything shifts to the Armory, likely through challenges or weapon XP. The exact conditions aren't specified, so it's better to grind everything while it's live rather than bet on the Armory.

Key takeaways

  • Four weapons at launch: FG42 and Gremlin via Battle Pass, Mammoth via the Machine of War event, Masse via 6 Week 2 challenges
  • Two exclusive Zombies weapons (Olympia and TR2) only drop from the Mystery Box — pure RNG, no shortcuts
  • Six weekly attachments to grind: 6 challenges every Thursday at 6pm, at least until the end of the season
  • Anything you miss shifts to the Armory after the season, but the exact conditions remain unclear — better to farm now
