Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Five-Seven is a dependable secondary with a large magazine, per bo2loadouts, and it is available from player level 4 in Black Ops II multiplayer. Games.gg places it in B-Tier and wzstats in D-Tier. Our verdict: it is a sensible early pick, and later you will likely want the B23R or KAP-40 that rank above it.
Best Five-Seven loadout
Only wzstats publishes this class (last updated 22 July 2026). Bo2loadouts and GameRevolution's table both confirm the attachments fit pistols.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Long Barrel | Extends bullet range, reducing shots needed to down a target |
| Magazine | Extended Clip | About a third more capacity; reloads about 10% slower |
| Perk 1 | Ghost | Invisible to UAVs while moving |
| Perk 2 | Scavenger, Fast Hands | Replenish ammo from fallen enemies; swap weapons and use equipment faster |
| Perk 3 | Dead Silence | Move silently |
| Wildcard | Perk 2 Greed, Secondary Gunfighter | Second Perk 2; second secondary attachment |
Wzstats lists no primary, lethal or tactical with this class.
Why this build works
The build adds to what bo2loadouts says the gun already has: a large magazine for finishing fights once your primary runs dry. Extended Clip takes that further, and Long Barrel works on bullet range, which GameRevolution says cuts the shots needed to down a target.
How to play it
Swap to it when your primary empties, which is the job both bo2loadouts and GameRevolution describe. Keep fights at close to medium range, GameRevolution's range for pistols. Bo2loadouts' stock classes for many primaries, from the MSMC to the Remington 870 MCS, simply carry a bare Five-Seven as backup, and SegmentNext's shotgun class does the same to handle enemies met at range.
Alternative setups
Balanced (bo2loadouts, undated): Fast Mag; Lightweight, Fast Hands, Dexterity.
Bare backup (SegmentNext's Remington 870 MCS class, undated): no attachments, as a secondary only.
Unlock notes
The Five-Seven is available from player level 4, per GameTipCenter (November 2012). GameRevolution lists Extended Clip at pistol weapon level 3 and Long Barrel at 5, and wzstats' data matches.
