The Maddox RFB returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 as a Season 1 Battle Pass weapon. Season 1 launches on December 4, 2025. The rifle held a strong place in Black Ops 4 because players trusted its consistency and speed. The new version aims to fill a similar role.

Weapon overview
The Maddox RFB fires fast and holds a large ammo pool. You get stable recoil control. You handle mid-range fights with confidence. You pressure enemies in close quarters because the weapon keeps steady during long bursts.

In Black Ops 4, players used the Echo Fire mod to fire two rounds with one trigger pull. That feature turned the rifle into a close-range shredder. Treyarch has not confirmed a similar function for Black Ops 7.
