Carbon 57 SMG
How do you unlock the Carbon 57?
The Carbon 57 is a full-auto submachine gun in the Black Ops 7 launch roster, returning as the modern successor to the PDW-57 from Black Ops 2. It is defined by a notably large default magazine and is built for fast, close-range engagements at the cost of below-average damage for its class. It unlocks through standard multiplayer progression at player level 46.
