Scorestreaks are back and maybe better than ever in Black Ops 7, so here’s a look at all of them.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will feature one of the biggest helpings of content at launch we've seen in the past several years. Treyarch is going all out for the seventh Black Ops game, and this isn't just on the weapons, maps, and game modes front. We're also slated to see the most scorestreaks at a COD launch in quite some time, as Black Ops 7 will feature over 20 streaks when it releases on Nov. 14.
Thanks to the recent multiplayer reveal blog post from Activision, we already know details about all of the scorestreaks in Black Ops 7. You can see the full slate of streaks coming to the new game in the guide below.
All Scorestreaks in Black Ops 7 at launch
In total, there are 21 scorestreaks coming to Black Ops 7 when the game launches. Some of these streaks are brand new to the Call of Duty franchise, while others are returning from previous Black Ops games, including BO2, BO3, and BO4. Treyarch has made it a point of emphasis to state that they want the streaks to feel more powerful and rewarding when you earn them, and on paper, these streaks could be the strongest in years.
We'll provide you with every scorestreak name, an image, and the description of each streak below (all of which come from the multiplayer reveal blog). We don't have exact score values for the streaks yet, but we do have the Overclock options for each streak. We aren't going to provide those, but you can view what they are on the multiplayer reveal blog.

How will the Specialist streaks work in Black Ops 7?
While the 21 scorestreaks you see above are the primary streaks in Black Ops 7 multiplayer, they aren't the only way to utilize the score you receive throughout the match. Multiplayer will also see the inclusion of the Specialist streaks, which reward you with additional perks instead of specialized equipment.
Specialist is a fan-favorite feature in Call of Duty that hasn't been seen in multiplayer for a few years. This year, Specialist is a Wildcard that you can equip on a loadout, and it effectively replaces your traditional scorestreaks. What it allows you to do is pick three additional perks to earn at three different score intervals. In Black Ops 7, you earn one of your new perks at 200, 400, and 600 score. These three new perks are in addition to the three default perks you equip on each loadout.
After you earn 600 score, you need to then earn 1,200 score in one life to unlock every single available perk in multiplayer. This turns you into a super soldier, of sorts, and you keep all of the perks until you die. Then, once you die, you repeat the process over again, just like you would with traditional scorestreaks.
The Specialist Wildcard in Black Ops 7 allows you to customize certain loadouts with these perk packages that give you the chance to earn more kills with your weapon rather than with normal streaks. Unlocking all of the perks in multiplayer is a massive boon, and you can become an unkillable force if you use each one to its fullest potential.
Regardless of whether you choose to use one of the 21 normal scorestreaks or the Specialist Wildcard, there's no shortage of streak options in Black Ops 7.
