Two seasons on, the M34 Novaline still rules Black Ops 7 Zombies

Even after a dozen new additions, the M34 Novaline remains the weapon to wield in Black Ops 7 Zombies — no matter the map, the Cursed Relics, or the squad size. As a marksman rifle it’s often overlooked in favor of rapid-fire SMGs and assault rifles, since marksman weapons trade fire rate and ammo capacity for high critical damage and boss potential.

The Novaline already stands out with a two-round burst and tidy handling, but its true advantage appears when Pack-a-Punched: it becomes fully automatic and is renamed the Desecrated Dualist. That upgrade delivers assault-rifle handling with marksman-level stopping power, and you can switch back to semi-auto if you need extra precision.

It’s also easy to obtain: the Novaline is a common Mystery Box weapon when playing Cursed or as an alternative starting gun, and it’s a Wall Buy on Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum if a Cursed Relic disables the Mystery Box. It’ll also probably be a Wall Buy on future BO7 Zombies maps.
