The Swordfish A1 is a marksman rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, added during the Season 2 Reloaded update as a returning four-round burst weapon. Sources describe it as extremely accurate with minimal recoil but slower mobility and handling, capable of high damage when all rounds in a burst connect. A Prestige attachment (Penta Burst) can extend each burst to a possible fifth shot.

A burst-fire marksman rifle valued for high accuracy and minimal recoil, at the cost of slower mobility and handling.

How to unlock: Unlocked by completing the free reward track of the Counter Skies event pass during Black Ops 7 Season 2 Reloaded (event ran March 17 to April 2, 2026).
