Black Ops 7 warzone bot lobby has given the Carbon 57 a new identity. Initial reports were that it was a weapon whose performance looked poor on paper, with its slow kill profile close-range and heavy handling. However, the range of this weapon was unmatched. This gun is no longer a mid-range SMG, but a real contender in the meta. Recent updates and hotfixes have improved its damage ranges.

 The mmoset game is not about stats, but how to win. With the buff, we don't have to waste precious attachment slots on making a gun workable. Now, instead of focusing on winning fights quickly, we can focus on recoil, handling and movement speed. The following is a complete breakdown of the maths, logic and exact setups that we use to make the Carbon 57 a lobby-clearing weapon.

 The Hotfix and Meta

 Previously you had to use a Long Barrel, or a hybrid barrel to make Carbon 57 competitive. Due to the recent hotfix, the damage ranges have been pushed out considerably. This means that spending a barrel slot now has diminishing returns.

 It is a way to gain a slot for an attachment. We can stop patching range weaknesses and begin stacking recoil and handling speed. This will transform the weapon from a mid-range passive tool into an aggressive killer.

 Why This Works (The Logic).

 When you start losing battles at 25-30 meters it's not usually because you have a damage drop off anymore, but because you have missed shots. The kick that makes bullets miss their target is eliminated by stacking Goliath Grip with Sapper Guard.

 Real-match scenario: The Compact Fast Magazine is the MVP of high-killing games. It lets you take on two enemies at the same time. The 2.08s base load can leave you defenseless if the second enemy turns the corner.

 The Risk Factor

 This build sacrifices about 22% of the damage range. No longer are you a midrange bully. You are a close range nuisance that wins by being difficult to track.

 Real match scenario: This build allows us to slice corners. You can keep your ADS (aim down sights) on and strafe at walking speed around a turn. This allows you to fire instantly as the enemy reacts to your movements.

 Q: What is the Meta Carbon now?

 A: Yes. This is the weapon that most range enthusiasts use. It may not have the melt-potential of a Jackal point-blank, but it is a very reliable weapon for both public matches and competitive play.

 Q: What are the advantages of a suppressor compared to a recoil muff?

 Black Ops 7's highest streaks are largely dependent on staying away from the minimap. The Carbon 57 is a slow-firing weapon that takes up to 5-6 shots to kill. This means you'll need some time to track your targets. The suppressor gives you this time by delaying your enemy's response.

 Q: Is it ever a good idea to use a barrel for the main build of evo?

 A: Only on very large maps (such as a map for pure long-range engagement). In 95% scenarios, the increased base range is enough, and handling attachments or recoil are more valuable.

 Q: Does this gun work in Hardcore?

 It's not a top-tier weapon, but it is good. It is capable of one-shotting the body when it's within its 14m maximum damage range, but once beyond that point, two shots are required or a shot to the head. It is often outclassed by ARs and pistols with faster handling.

 The following is a summary of the information that you will find on this website:

 Carbon 57 has grown from a disappointing low-tier product to a powerful, flexible machine. To unlock its potential, you need to understand that it is not necessary to limit its range.

 By focusing on Horizontal Recoil Control, (Sapper Guard), and Handling, (Fast Mag), and skipping the barrel altogether, you can create a weapon which beams and snaps to targets at close range. Rapid Fire builds are a good choice if you like pure dueling. Prestige Mag offers an alternative for those who want to be able to hurt their ankles. Follow the pre-aim rule and choose the tool that suits your playstyle.
