Black Ops 7 Season 2 added the Titan Wield Seasons Week 2 unlock that lets players run Akimbo XM325 LMGs. The setup removes aim down sights but gives belt-fed dual LMGs with improved recoil control and a major overheating mechanic to manage.
The Titan Wield stock is unlocked via five Season 2 Week 2 challenges across Multiplayer, Zombies, Co-Op Campaign, and Warzone. Once equipped, the XM325 cannot ADS and sustained fire will overheat the weapons. This build leans into hip fire and quick follow-up shots after sprinting.
The best XM325 attachments for Akimbo
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Stock | XM325 Titan Wield (dual wield, belt fed ammo capacity, vertical and horizontal recoil control) |
| Laser | MFS Motion Strike Laser (all hipfire spread, damage range, recoil stabilization) |
| Muzzle | Titan-R 7.62 Compensator (all hipfire spread, slide and dive to fire speed, tactical stance spread) |
| Barrel | 24″ Fractal-LRB Barrel (damage range) |
| Rear Grip | Causeway Grip (sprint to fire speed, jumping sprint to fire speed) |
The MFS Motion Strike Laser is the weapon’s Prestige laser and is essential here because the build depends entirely on hip-fire accuracy. The Titan-R 7.62 Compensator tightens hip-fire and improves follow-up speed, while the Fractal-LRB Barrel extends reach to keep the dual LMGs useful at mid range. Causeway Grip helps snap accurate shots immediately after sprinting.

Best Akimbo XM325 class setup
- Secondary: Coda 9
- Melee: Personal preference
- Field Upgrade: Mute Field
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Impact Grenade or Semtex
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Scavenger
- Perk 3: Looper
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
- Combat Specialty: Enforcer
The Coda 9 provides a reliable fallback when the Akimbo XM325 overheats. Mute Field gives Ninja, Ghost, and Cold-Blooded effects while active. Stim Shot helps with quick heals and momentum. Perk Greed is the sensible Wildcard because the Akimbo stock blocks underbarrel and magazine slots. Lightweight offsets the weight penalty of dual LMGs, while Scavenger is important because belt-fed weapons do not come with spare magazines, and Looper helps reuse scorestreaks in a life. On the other side, Flak Jacket reduces explosive damage.
For other weapon setups in Black Ops 7, see this AK-27 loadout in Black Ops 7. If we’re talking practical playstyle, treat the Akimbo XM325 as a close- to mid-range hip-fire specialist. Keep engagements short, avoid prolonged fire to limit overheating, and use the Coda 9 when the guns need a cooldown.
