MMOexp-COD BO7: XM4 All-Rounder Loadout Guide for Maximum Accuracy The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is bringing some serious competition to the FPS landscape, and as always, the key to victory lies in building the right loadouts. If you want to secure your first nuke or simply dominate the leaderboards Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies, you need to know which weapons and attachments stand out in the current meta.   Below, we're breaking down the top five meta loadouts in Black Ops 7, including Gunfighter setups (8 attachments) and streamlined 5-attachment class builds for players who prefer more perks or streak flexibility. Whether you're new to the game or grinding ranked modes, these builds will give you a huge edge.   1. XM4-The All-Rounder Assault Rifle   The XM4 continues to be a staple pick, dominating both Black Ops 7 multiplayer and Warzone thanks to its excellent accuracy, low recoil, and high damage. It's versatile enough for any map and is perfect for securing streaks.   XM4 Gunfighter Loadout (8 Attachments):  Optic: Kepler Microlex-A clean, minimalist sight for maximum clarity.  Muzzle: Suppressor-Keeps you off the minimap without hurting accuracy.  Barrel: Reinforced Barrel-Improves damage range and bullet velocity.  Underbarrel: G-Grip-Enhances recoil stabilization and hipfire accuracy.  Magazine: Extended Mag 3-A massive 100 rounds, turning your AR into a hybrid LMG.  Rear Grip: Commander Grip-Boosts ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed.  Stock: Infiltrator Stock-Improves aim-walking movement speed.  Fire Mods: Recoil Springs-Smooths out horizontal and vertical recoil patterns.   With this setup, the XM4 becomes a laser beam with incredible magazine capacity, allowing you to shred through multiple enemies without reloading.   XM4 5-Attachment Build:  Remove Extended Mag 3, Infiltrator Stock, and Recoil Springs. This lighter version has less ammo and slightly reduced mobility, but it still maintains solid accuracy and a fast time-to-kill (TTK).   2. C9-The SMG King   If you're all about fast-paced, close-range combat, the C9 SMG is your best bet. It has a lightning-fast TTK, excellent mobility, and surprising versatility at medium ranges.   C9 Gunfighter Loadout (8 Attachments):  Optic: Kepler Microflex-Helps with visibility for slightly longer engagements.  Muzzle: Suppressor-Essential for staying off radar in close-quarter battles.  Barrel: Long Barrel-Maximizes damage range.  Underbarrel: G-Grip-Provides recoil control and better handling.  Magazine: 10mm Auto 30-Round Mags-Increases bullet velocity and damage.  Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip-Boosts slide-to-fire, dive-to-fire, and ADS speeds.  Stock: Infiltrator Stock-Enhances aim-walking speed.  Fire Mods: Recoil Springs-Reduces recoil for tight spray control.   C9 5-Attachment Build:  Remove Kepler Microflex, Infiltrator Stock, and Recoil Springs. You'll still have excellent mobility and TTK, but aim for burst-fire at long distances.   3. AK74-The Underrated Beast   The AK74 AR is criminally underrated but is an absolute powerhouse post-update. It has great stopping power and feels incredibly rewarding in skilled hands.   AK74 Gunfighter Loadout (8 Attachments):  Optic: Kepler Microflex or V Reflex (personal preference).  Muzzle: Compensator-Controls vertical recoil.  Barrel: Long Barrel-Boosts damage range for improved mid-range dominance.  Underbarrel: G-Grip-The best choice for recoil management.  Magazine: Extended Mag 1-Provides 40 rounds without slowing weapon handling.  Rear Grip: Commander Grip-Improves ADS speed and responsiveness.  Stock: Infiltrator Stock-Enables faster aim-walking speed.  Fire Mods: Rapid Fire-Speeds up the fire rate without excessive recoil penalties.   The AK74 can still achieve three-shot headshot kills with this setup, making it deadly in skilled hands.   AK74 5-Attachment Build:  Remove V Reflex, Extended Mag 1, and Infiltrator Stock. The AK74 remains lethal and retains solid recoil control, even with fewer attachments.   4. KSV-The Run-and-Gun SMG   The KSV is a high-speed SMG perfect for aggressive players who like to flank and stay constantly on the move. It has a slightly higher recoil profile, but the right attachments make it very manageable.   KSV Gunfighter Loadout (8 Attachments):  Optic: Kepler Microflex or V Reflex-If you dislike the iron sights.  Muzzle: Compensator-Mandatory to handle vertical recoil.  Barrel: Reinforced Barrel-Improves both damage range and bullet velocity.  Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip-Increases horizontal recoil control and sprinting stability.  Magazine: Extended Mag 2-Provides 50 rounds to sustain gunfights.  Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip-Essential for improving ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds.  Stock: Infiltrator Stock or Balanced Stock-For faster aim-walking movement.  Fire Mods: Recoil Springs-Keeps the KSV's spray pattern tight.KSV 5-Attachment Build:  Remove Kepler Microflex, Infiltrator Stock, and Recoil Springs. Even with fewer attachments, this SMG still dominates close-quarters combat.   5. FFAR1-The Hybrid AR/SMG   The FFAR1 combines the handling of an SMG with the range and stopping power of an AR. It's one of the fastest-killing rifles in Black Ops 7, especially with the right build.   FFAR1 Gunfighter Loadout (8 Attachments):  Optic: Kepler Microflex or V Reflex.  Muzzle: Compensator-Controls its naturally high recoil.  Barrel: Long Barrel-Extends range and improves TTK.  Underbarrel: G-Grip-Greatly improves handling and recoil control.  Magazine: Extended Mag 2-60 rounds to handle multiple enemies.  Rear Grip: Commander Grip-For faster ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds.  Stock: Infiltrator Pad-Maximizes aim-walking movement.  Fire Mods: Recoil Springs-Stabilizes this high-fire-rate AR.   FFAR1 5-Attachment Build:  Remove Extended Mag 2, Infiltrator Pad, and Recoil Springs. The recoil increases slightly, but the FFAR1 remains one of the fastest-killing ARs in the game.   Perks, Secondary Weapons, and Equipment   All these loadouts pair well with a Strider 22 (3-round burst mod) as a secondary. It's a reliable fallback weapon when your primary runs dry.   Recommended Equipment & Perks:  Lethal: Blast Trap  Tactical: Stim Shot  Field Upgrade: Assault Pack  Perks: Flak Jacket, Dispatcher, and Bankroll.   If you're using 8-attachment Gunfighter builds, this perk combo is ideal. Otherwise, run Perk Greed or High Roller.   Scorestreak Strategy for Nukes   To maximize your streak potential:  UAV-Essential for map awareness Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies for sale.  Grim Reaper-Great for multi-kills that count toward your nuke streak.  War Machine-Another killstreak that adds to your nuke counter.  HARP (High-Altitude Recon Plane)-Gives you constant enemy tracking.   The synergy of Grim Reaper + War Machine allows you to rack up streaks fast. For example, starting at 10 gun kills, you can easily chain streaks to hit 30 kills with far less risk.   Final Thoughts   These five meta loadouts-XM4, C9, AK74, KSV, and FFAR1-are the strongest weapon builds in Black Ops 7's current meta. Whether you're running Gunfighter with 8 attachments or a leaner 5-attachment build, you'll find these setups cover every playstyle: from mid-range dominance to close-quarters aggression.

MMOexp-CFB 26: Fixing the Manual Progression Penalty Bug for Maximum Growth One of the most rewarding parts of building a dynasty in College Football 26 is watching your recruits grow into stars. But if you've jumped straight into this year's game using the same strategies from CFB25, chances are you're falling behind. Player progression in CFB26 works differently, and if you don't adjust, you'll see rival programs consistently develop stronger players CFB 26 Coins, leaving your roster outmatched.   After weeks of testing different progression systems, scouting strategies, and coaching combinations, I've found six critical tips that most players are overlooking. These will completely change how you recruit, develop, and keep talent in your program.   Whether you're running a rebuild at a mid-tier school or chasing national championships with a powerhouse, mastering these tips is the key to long-term success.   Let's break them down.   Tip 1: Fix the Manual Progression Setting Bug   The first tip isn't glamorous, but it's absolutely essential. There's a major problem with the manual progression penalty setting in CFB26. If you leave this penalty above 0%, your players won't properly gain in-season XP.   The fix is simple:    Set your manual progression penalty to 0%.   If you're in an online league and can't control this setting, you have two workarounds:    Option 1: Turn on auto-progression for the entire regular season so players spend points automatically. Then switch back to manual in the offseason.    Option 2: Turn on auto-progression before each game, play the game, then turn it back off. This way, you'll see exactly what XP was earned and can spend the points yourself.   If you don't make this adjustment, you're effectively sabotaging your roster. Players will stagnate mid-season, and you'll struggle to keep pace with opponents. Fixing this one bug sets the foundation for every other tip in this list.   Tip 2: Prioritize Development Traits Over Star Ratings   This tip will completely change how you recruit. For years, players focused on star ratings when building recruiting boards. But in CFB26, development traits are far more important.   Here's what my testing revealed about average offseason skill point gains:    Elite Development: 70.2 points per offseason    Star Development: 59.6 points    Impact Development: 32.7 points    Normal Development: 26.3 points    That means an elite development player will earn nearly three times as many skill points as a normal development player. A three-star recruit with elite development can easily outpace a five-star with normal development within two seasons. So how do you identify development traits?    Recruiter Tier 1 reduces scouting hours, letting you scout more prospects.    Strategist Tier 4 (Mind Reader) can reveal development traits after a single scouting action. It only works 10-15% of the time, but when it does, it's game-changing.   Keep in mind:    Gems and busts don't guarantee traits. Gems won't have normal development, and busts won't have elite, but beyond that, it's all odds.    Players can upgrade their development traits in the offseason if they dominate statistically. A normal player who puts up elite numbers can jump to impact or even star development.    Bottom line: recruit traits, not stars.   Tip 3: Recruit for Speed and Power First   When it comes to attributes, not all stats are created equal. Some cost far more skill points to upgrade than others. The two most expensive? Speed and Power.   Every other attribute-route running, catching, blocking, coverage-is relatively cheap to upgrade. But speed and power drain XP at an alarming rate. That's why you should recruit players who already excel in these categories, then use progression to cheaply upgrade everything else.   Here's how it works across positions:    Quarterbacks: Recruit high throw power; accuracy is cheaper to improve later.    Running Backs: Prioritize speed and trucking/stiff arm. Upgrade elusiveness afterward.    Defensive Linemen: Target 90+ strength. Then build block shedding and finesse moves with progression.    Edge Rushers: Speed + strength first, finesse moves later.    Cornerbacks: High speed first, coverage later.   Think of it this way: you're buying the most expensive attributes up front through recruiting, then paying for the "discount stats" during development. This makes your XP go much further.Tip 4: Control Overall Ratings to Manage Retention   Here's a system few players realize exists: overall ratings directly influence player expectations. As players get better, they demand more from your program-and they also become more likely to leave early for the draft.   A 75 overall player might be content with a C+ in their needs, but that same player at 90 overall could require an A-. If you can't meet those expectations, you risk losing them.   Here's the strategy:    For backups and younger players: Save their skill points to keep overall low. This prevents their expectations from spiking while they're not on the field.    For starters: Focus on ability upgrades (speed, power, position-specific traits) that make them play better without boosting overall as much. Save the overall-boosting upgrades for their senior year.   Pro tip:    NIL players become draft eligible at 87 overall. If you want to keep a junior for a senior season, don't push them over that threshold too early.    After year three or four, the draft threshold can shift lower by position. I've seen centers go pro at 83 and linebackers at 84.   This approach gives you precise control over when your players peak and when they leave.   Tip 5: Use the Position Group Draft Bonus   One of the most underrated coaching upgrades this year is Talent Developer Tier 1, which ties into the position group draft bonus.   Here's the key change from CFB25 to CFB26:    In CFB25, when a player got drafted, only others at the same position benefited.    In CFB26, when a player gets drafted, the entire position group benefits.   That means:    A drafted WR boosts WRs and TEs.    A drafted OL boosts all five OL positions.   This is huge for building powerhouse position groups.   To maximize this:    Identify rising seniors with draft potential.    Focus upgrades on attributes that match their archetype. For example, a "Pass Protector" OL should get pass-blocking upgrades, which raise overall more efficiently than spreading points randomly.   This raises the odds they get drafted, which in turn boosts everyone else in the group the following year.   Tip 6: Stack Coaching Abilities for Multipliers   Most players think coaching abilities simply add together. In reality, they multiply.   For example:    Motivator Tier 3 gives a 5% offseason XP boost.    If your coordinator also has Motivator, that's another 5%.    Instead of just 10% total, the game calculates it as 5 × 5 = 25% total.   This stacking system means the right coaching combos can give your team exponential growth.   Here's how progression abilities break down:    In-Season XP: Architect Tier 1-2, Talent Developer Tier 3    Offseason XP: Motivator Tier 3, Talent Developer Tier 1    Global XP (both): Master Motivator Tier 3, Talent Developer Tier 2    Advanced tip: Architect Tier 3-4 helps you break through skill caps, which is critical once players start stockpiling XP. Nothing is worse than seeing 70 points stuck behind a cap.   By coordinating your staff upgrades with your coordinators, you can stack multiple effects and maximize progression across the board.   Final Recap   If you're serious about building a dynasty in College Football 26, mastering player progression is non-negotiable. Here are the six tips again:   1.Fix the manual progression penalty-set it to 0%.   2.Focus on development traits-they matter more than stars CFB 26 Coins for sale.   3.Recruit speed and power first-upgrade the cheap stats later.   4.Control overall ratings-manage expectations and draft risk.   5.Leverage the position group draft bonus-build depth across units.   6.Stack coaching abilities-multiply progression effects.   Put these tips into practice, and you'll watch your program transform from average to elite. No more losing recruits to rivals or watching five-stars underperform. Instead, you'll control player development, dominate on the field, and build the kind of dynasty that lasts.

MMOexp-Diablo 4: The Ultimate Tornado Necro Guide for Infernal Hordes Season 10 of Diablo 4 has delivered some wild new mechanics with the Chaos Uniques and Infernal Hordes mode, but one build is already pulling ahead of the pack: the Tornado Necromancer Diablo 4 Items.   This setup isn't just strong-it's downright busted. With screen-filling tornadoes that shred everything in Torment 4, the Tornado Necro can carry entire groups solo. Enemies barely get a chance to spawn before they're consumed in a vortex of shadow damage. If you're looking for the most powerful Infernal Hordes build in Season 10, this is it.   Let's break it all down: how the build works, the new Chaos Perks you'll need, skills and passives, gearing for both mythic and non-mythic versions, and finally, what makes it so dominant in both farming and pushing.   Why the Tornado Necromancer?   The Necromancer has always been a powerhouse class, but this build pushes it into "omega S-tier" territory. Here's why:    Screen-Wide Coverage: Tornadoes can blanket the entire battlefield, one-shotting mobs on Torment 4 before they can react.    Solo Carry Potential: You can hard-carry a full four-player group while they AFK. Yes, it's that strong.    Scales Into Endgame: Not just a farming build-the Tornado Necro can push Pit 100+ with the right tweaks.    Farm-Friendly: Perfect for Infernal Hordes, which are going to be your main grind for rare loot in Season 10.   The only real competition comes from Sorcerer builds, which have higher survivability and mobility. But in terms of pure Infernal Horde clearing, nothing comes close.   Core Mechanic: Chaos Perks   The heart of this build is the new Chaos Perks in Season 10. Without them, the tornado spam doesn't work. The most important ones are:   Altar of the Balance    Swaps your core skills into ultimates and your ultimates into core skills.    This allows Bone Storm to become your spammable tornado-generating machine.    The skill is also converted into a darkness skill, giving access to shadow synergies.   Decimating Desecration    Your damage-over-time effects have a chance equal to your crit chance to deal 100x damage.    With this, crit scaling becomes essential-you ideally want to reach 100% crit chance.   Optional Chaos Perks    Mad Guard: Extra armor for survivability.    Crazy Brew: Highly recommended-massive attack speed buff, letting you fill the screen with tornadoes.    Alternating Alterations: For Pit pushing; adds another 40x multiplier when spamming Blight.   Skills and Playstyle   This build is hilariously simple in practice. Your main button? Bone Storm.    Bone Storm (Core Ultimate): Your bread and butter. With Altar of the Balance and gear interactions, it summons multiple tornadoes that cover the screen.    Darkness Fillers: You'll slot in Blight and Corpse Explosion, but mostly just to benefit from passive shadow bonuses.   Book of the Dead:    Sacrifice Skeletal Warriors and Mages for bonus shadow/crit damage.    Sacrifice Golem for crit damage.    This is a sacrifice build-no minions needed.   The result: a nonstop vortex of shadow tornadoes that auto-deletes mobs.   Gear Setup   The Tornado Necromancer needs specific legendaries and aspects to really shine. Below are the key items.   Core Legendaries    Lidless Wall (Shield): While Bone Storm is active, lucky hits can spawn another Bone Storm. This is how you flood the map with tornadoes.    Fists of Fate (Gloves): Boosts crit chance, attack speed, and vulnerability application. Essential for maximizing damage.    Bloodless Scream (Weapon): Adds ranks to darkness skills, synergizing with Bone Storm's shadow conversion.    Banish Sword's Talisman: Boosts core skills (which Bone Storm now counts as) and adds attack speed.    Reaper's Pursuit: More damage and movement speed.    Aspect of the Ultimate Shadow: Converts Bone Storm into a shadow skill-mandatory for the build.   Mythic Gear Highlights    Starless Sky (Ring): One of the best mythics in the game; tons of crit and attack speed.    Apojack Fer: Amplifies both ultimates and core skills (perfect for Bone Storm's hybrid state).    Finality: Increases Bone Storm's damage scaling significantly.    Non-Mythic Alternatives    Accelerating Aspect (Ring): If you lack Starless Sky, this is a solid replacement for attack speed.    Standard Crit/Attack Speed Rares: Prioritize affixes like crit chance, crit damage, and attack speed.   Key Stats   When rolling gear, here's what you want:    Crit Chance: Aim for 100% uptime.    Attack Speed: The faster you cast, the more tornadoes you summon.    Overpower Damage: Great for Pit pushing, but crit is more reliable for farming.    Max Resource: More essence = more damage scaling.   On defense:    Armor: Especially if skipping Mad Guard perk.    Life: Helps balance out the squishiness compared to Sorcerer.    Fortification: Gained passively through Necrotic Carapace and paragon nodes.Resource Management   This build consumes tons of essence. Without resource sustain, you'll run dry instantly. The solution:    "Casting Ultimate Restores Resource" Affix: Absolutely mandatory-this keeps your tornado spam infinite.    Off-Hand Affixes: Stack essence regen and max resource wherever possible.   With this, you essentially have infinite tornado spam with no downtime.   Paragon Boards   The paragon setup pushes the damage multipliers into the stratosphere:    Abyssal: Non-physical damage increase.    Dominate: More damage multipliers.    Scent of Death: Buffed in Season 10-synergizes perfectly with corpse-heavy fights.    Blood Bath: Adds crit damage and Dexterity scaling.    Sacrificial: Since you run no minions, it's free extra damage.    Wither + Control: Increases shadow damage and crowd control damage, excellent for both mobs and staggered bosses.    Ossified Essence: Increases essence generation and boosts bone skills with more resource.   Strengths  Unmatched Horde Clearing: Infernal Hordes melt instantly.  Ridiculous DPS: Bosses can die before their health bar even loads.  Group Carrying: Capable of soloing content while others AFK.  Push Potential: Can reach Pit 100+ with optimized gear and perks.   Weaknesses  Squishy: Much less survivability compared to Sorc builds. Requires good positioning or armor stacking.  Gear-Dependent: Needs the right Chaos perks and legendary setup.  Likely Nerf Target: The tornado spam feels overtuned and may get capped.   Real Gameplay Examples    Infernal Hordes: Hundreds of tornadoes covering the entire screen, one-shotting everything. Perfect for farming rare Season 10 gear.    Boss Fights: New bosses like Bartuk die so fast their HP bar doesn't even register before the tornadoes shred them.    Pit 112+ Push: Players have already cleared above 110 Pit tiers with this setup, proving its endgame viability.   Final Thoughts   The Tornado Necromancer is the clear front-runner for Season 10 of Diablo 4. It's absurdly strong in Infernal Hordes, dominates boss fights, and scales well into Pit pushing Diablo 4 Items for sale.   Yes, it's squishy compared to Sorcerer builds, and yes, a nerf is probably coming-most likely a cap on tornado count. But even with limitations, this setup will remain a top-tier Necromancer build for the foreseeable future.   If you're planning to grind Season 10 content, the Tornado Necro will make farming effortless and pushing fun. Cover the screen, melt everything, and enjoy being one of the most broken builds Diablo 4 has ever seen.
