Best Essex Model 07 loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone

Using the best Essex Model 07 loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone will give you the upper hand in combat. This Marksman Rifle was added to the games in the new Ballerina event and has high damage-dealing capabilities. What makes it truly great is its lever-action mechanism, which allows users to shoot in quick succession and eliminate enemies pretty quickly.

It can one-shot opponents in Black Ops 6 as well as in Warzone (as long as it's a headshot in the BR). However, the weapon isn't perfect right out of the box. Its handling stats aren't that great, which can make it a bit challenging to use in close ranges or aggressive plays. To resolve this, players must equip a few attachments on the rifle.

In this article, we'll take a look at the best Essex Model 07 loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

To build the best Essex Model 07 loadout in Black Ops 6, you must equip these attachments:

Here's how these attachments help the weapon become the best Essex Model 07 loadout in Black Ops 6:

The Jason Armory 2X offers a clean and precise vision of targets and can be used for all ranges in Multiplayer modes. You can always switch things up since optical attachments are typically based on preference, but we suggest using the Jason Armory 2X for the perfect blend of magnification and minimalism.

The Suppressor will keep you off the radar when you fire your gun. Maps in Black Ops 6 are quite small, and enemies are everywhere. Hence, if you shoot without a Suppressor, your opponents will instantly know about your whereabouts, and you'll have given away your position easily. This is why the Suppressor is a must, especially for the Multiplayer modes.

The Quickdraw Lever drastically improves your ADS speed, enabling you to go for quickscopes in quick succession. This allows you to wield the firearm aggressively and helps compensate for the low handling stats of the Essex Model 07 in Black Ops 6.

The Cut-off Stock also helps in mitigating the gun's handling issues. It increases your ADS speed as well as your aim walking movement speed. This allows you to clear tight corners on the map while aiming without slowing down. Furthermore, its benefits can also be observed when you play the game aggressively, fighting your way from one point to the other.

Lastly, we have the Strelok Laser, which improves the rifle's hip-fire-to-ADS accuracy. This means when you aim down the sight, especially after sprinting, your weapon will be more accurate, with much less deviation that you have to manually compensate for.

Just like in the Multiplayer modes, the Jason Armory 2X is also extremely viable for close-to-mid-range combat in the battle royale title. It shines the most in Rebirth Island matches, but is still a decent pick for Verdansk. That said, if you want a higher magnification level, you can go for the Willis 3X as well.

The Reinforced Barrel increases the effective damage range and the bullet velocity of the weapon by 20% and 30%, respectively. This not only makes the weapon more lethal in ranged combat, but also ensures that your bullets close the gap quickly.

The Extended Mag I increases the rifle's bullet count per magazine from 8 to 10. It may not look like a substantial upgrade at first glance, but considering the gun's massive damage, two additional bullets can be quite lethal for your enemies.

The Quickdraw Lever improves the weapon's ADS speed, enabling you to engage opponents much quicker after a full sprint. This essentially allows you to wield the gun in aggressive plays.

The 7.62 NATO Overpressured provides another massive boost to the rifle's bullet velocity. There's an increment of 20%, with a final bullet velocity of 1365 m/s. This makes it essentially a hit-scan weapon even at longer ranges, making it much easier to land your shots on a moving target without having to lead your aim.
