Black Ops 7 Overclocking Explained: Equipment, Field Upgrades and More

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been kept under the radar a bit since it was announced during the first week of June, but some news seems to be coming.

Now, the game has been officially revealed, and we're going to run over one of the new features coming, Overclocking.

Here's what we know. 

Black Ops 7 Overclocking Explained: Equipment, Field Upgrades and More

Black Ops 7 will reunite us with some familiar faces, and the premise of the game appears to be a bit more futuristic than previous entries, such as Black Ops 6. 

Overclocking is a brand new feature coming this time around, and it's going to help upgrade certain aspects of your kit, such as Equipment and Field Upgrades. 

Here's what Treyarch had to say regarding this: 

For the first time in 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. This is part of an overarching goal of deep Progression for gameplay content, but without needless or confusing complexity. The Overclock System puts even more agency and power into the hands of the player, allowing for more customization of your gameplay experience than ever before.

Some examples of Overlocking include the following: 

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.
