Equipment Overclocking in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Explained

For the first time in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Scorestreaks, Field Upgrades, and Equipment can be upgraded using the brand-new Overclock System, meaning more than just your weapons will grow more versatile the more you use them.

Every successful use of your Scorestreaks, Field Upgrade, and Equipment becomes a step toward unlocking their full potential as you enhance your arsenal over time, earning gameplay improvements and enhanced functionality. Here's how the overlocking mechanic will work in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Lethal Equipment – Cluster Grenade: Last seen in Black Ops 4, the Cluster Grenade is a Lethal that scatters a group of smaller explosives when the main projectile detonates. Overclock it and you’re awarded the following upgrades:

  • First Overclock: Controllable Fuse: Adds the ability to cook the fuse over time.
  • Second Overclock: Tighter Packing: Adds one additional mini grenade to the projectile.

Field Upgrade – Drone Pod: Launch a Drone Pod, and it deploys to the skies, expelling autonomous aerial drones which seek out enemies. Overclock it and you’re awarded the following upgrades:

  • First Overclock: Quick Launcher: This rapidly increases the speed at which drones are launched.
  • Second Overclock: Radar Link: Leaves a minimap icon at each drone’s detonation point.

Scorestreak – Rhino: Returning to the Rhino, a remotely controlled armored robotic soldier equipped with a deadly burst rifle Increase this Scorestreak’s potential still further with the following Overclocks:

  • First Overclock: Power Module: This extends the runtime for the Rhino, allowing for even more mayhem.
  • Second Overclock: Sonar Pulse: This reveals nearby enemy locations on the Rhino’s minimap and enhances both radar length and duration.

Scorestreak – D.A.W.G.: The Deployable Armored Weaponized Groundcraft is a quadrupedal Scorestreak featuring a large calibre turret and rocket pod designed to neutralise infantry targets. Overclock it for further devastating possibilities:

  • First Overclock: Large Battery: Enhances the active duration.
  • Second Overclock: Sentry Mode: Allows D.A.W.G. to hunker down, guarding an area and deploying a supply pack and integrated Trophy System.
