The X9 Maverick has rapidly gained the status of one of the most popular guns in the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. With its three-round burst mechanism, the weapon favors accuracy, positioning and recoil control over the full-auto assault rifles. If all three shots of the burst strike the target, the Maverick gives one of the fastest mid-range time to kill values in the game, thus making itself a very viable option for both the casual and ranked playing modes.
The X9 Maverick is something between a bullpup assault rifle and a precision-oriented SMG in its operation. Poor aiming is not tolerated, but if the shooter has the right setup, the gun can take out one or even two players in a single burst across the most common sightlines. Below is the best loadout for maximizing the weapon’s potential.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Best X9 Maverick Loadout (Multiplayer)

Optic – Lethal Tools ELO

An essentially flawless optic which does not alter the sight picture even during a burst fire. The gunsmithing makes it easier for the user to follow the target, and there is a higher chance for him/her to shoot full bursts consistently when compared to heavier optics.
Muzzle – Defense-H Suppressor or Novaburst Brake
The Defense-H Suppressor is the best option for the player who wants to remain unnoticeable on the minimap while engaging in mid-range combat. On the contrary, the Novaburst Brake can be an alternative if the user prefers to be silent rather than recoil control.
Barrel – 17.6″ Chiral-02 Barrel
This barrel’s ability to improve damage range and bullet velocity is simply tremendous, meaning the Maverick will even outperform normal AR ranges when it comes to being effective.
Underbarrel – Quickstep Foregrip
A perfect combination of improved recoil stabilization and maintained mobility. As a result, the weapon is able to settle between bursts and keep the same spot on the target quicker.
Laser – 3MW Motion Strike Laser
An increased speed of aim down sight and improved hipfire accuracy have been the contributors for giving faster target acquisition when peeking corners.
Fire Mod – Buffer Springs
Damage range reduction is the only downside to the Rapid-Fire mode. Hence, it is not recommended since it lowers damage range. However, there is no downsize at all for the Buffer Springs which are responsible for shooting fast and accurately with the help of their soft recoil and burst timing making follow-up shots more certain.

Gunfighter Wildcard daedalus rear grip increases the efficiency and the stability of aiming and the ethereal wave stock is suitable for frequent movers as it not only increases the speed of the player but also improves the performance of the player in aiming down sight.
- Precision First: One bullet less in a burst means less kill potential. Pre aiming common lanes and shooting controlled bursts are the ways to go.
- Mid-Range Dominance: The Maverick is at its best at mid to long ranges where full bursts can defeat even rifle automatics.
- Stay Mobile: A good laser and stock will allow you to peek, burst, and reposition without losing your accuracy.
The X9 Maverick is super powerful if you build it up in the right way. This loadout will not only increase your range but also control your recoil and give you handling while mobility and stealth are still preserved. The players who will concentrate on accuracy and positioning will traffic the Black Ops 7 multiplayer with high scores.
