Reviewed July 27, 2026. Game identity, Pick 10, weapon leveling and the Peacekeeper's post-launch status were checked against Activision material. Current PlayStation availability and the 25-pack bundle were checked against PlayStation Store listings. Class and weapon-specific camouflage requirements were cross-checked against recorded in-game challenge wording. Base multiplayer capacities and weapon identifications were checked against a dedicated BO2 stat reference and IMFDB, with fictional or uncertain designs labeled as such. Crossbow mechanics and legacy camo access were separately checked against historical references and the current Steam Digital Deluxe listing. Setup advice and weapon comparisons are editorial and avoid unsupported damage or time-to-kill claims.

How does the MP7 play in Black Ops 2?

RoleBalanced starting submachine gun
Real-world basisHeckler & Koch MP7A1
StrengthsAvailable as soon as Create-a-Class opens; Controllable close-range fire works well while moving between objectives
TradeoffsDamage pressure falls off when the fight becomes a long rifle lane; A careless spray can still empty the magazine before a second opponent arrives
Attachments and setup notesSuppressor supports flanks; Fast Mag helps when the route produces several short engagements; Long Barrel is an alternative when the class must stretch beyond typical SMG distance
Challenge noteFinish 100 headshots, then 30 Revenge medals, 150 kills with no attachments, 150 kills with no perks, 20 Double Kill medals and 10 Bloodthirsty medals. Completing all 14 challenges earns Gold on this SMG.
Progression tipStay on compact routes for early headshots, then use repeated rematches to build Carbon Fiber's Revenge medals.
Camo tipEnter a room at head height and strafe through the fight instead of trying to hold a distant angle like an assault rifle.
Compared withThe Vector K10 is the more control-focused SMG, while the MP7 is immediately available and broadly forgiving.

MP7 — common questions

What level does the MP7 unlock at in Black Ops 2?

The MP7 is available once Create-a-Class opens at Level 4 in Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer. The level cap is 55, and prestige is up to 10, followed by Prestige Master at Level 55.

How do you unlock camos on the MP7?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Black Ops II camo progress is tracked separately on every weapon. The first nine finishes run from DEVGRU through Kryptek: Typhon, followed by Carbon Fiber, Cherry Blossom, Art of War, Ronin and Skulls before per-weapon Gold and class-based Diamond. Assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs and pistols begin with headshots. Snipers use One Shot, One Kill medals; shotguns use one-hit kills; launchers and Specials have weapon-specific ladders. Every camo page lists the exceptions. On the MP7 the final tier is Skulls — 10 Bloodthirsty medals with the weapon. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Diamond needs Gold on the full class.
