Unleash Your Potential: All Black Ops 7 Overclock Abilities Explained for the Beta

The upcoming Black Ops 7 introduces a groundbreaking Overclock system, changing how players customize their loadouts. Traditionally, Call of Duty loadout customization focused primarily on weapons and perks. However, the new Overclock feature extends this personalization to your Tactical and Lethal equipment, Field Upgrades, and even scorestreaks, adding an exciting layer of strategic depth.

As you use your favorite equipment and streaks in Black Ops 7, you’ll gradually unlock up to two unique Overclock abilities for each item. You can then select one of these powerful enhancements to deploy during a match. These abilities offer a range of benefits, from accelerating Field Upgrade charge times to increasing the destructive power of your grenades. The Black Ops 7 beta provides an early look at many of these Overclock abilities, and we’ve compiled a comprehensive list below to help you strategize your perfect setup for what promises to be one of the year’s top first-person shooter experiences.
