Dropping into Avalon without an optimized build is basically handing your loot to the AI. Sure—aim matters. But in Black Ops 7’s Endgame mode, the difference between barely scraping through and absolutely dominating comes down to smart ability choices, powerful synergies, and efficient Skill Track progression.
This ultimate guide breaks down the strongest Endgame builds, tailored for solo play, duo squads, and full teams, based on community data, high-CR clears, and reliable multiplayer performance insights. If you want to consistently extract with top-tier loot and smash high-level zones, these builds will carry you.
Understanding Endgame Systems (Quick Breakdown)
Before jumping into builds, you need to understand how your power actually scales during a run.
1. Combat Rating (CR)
Your CR increases every deployment run by:
-
Completing contracts
-
Eliminating enemies
-
Collecting Power Cubes
Higher CR unlocks stronger Skill Track perks, harder zones, and better loot pools.
2. Skill Tracks (Your Build Path)
Every time you level up your CR, you choose one of two random upgrades from these six tracks:
-
Gunner: Reload speed, weapon handling, ammo economy
-
Surgeon: Healing, survivability, revives
-
Daredevil: Movement boosts, slide/dive bonuses, wingsuit tech
-
Tactician: Ability cooldown reduction, equipment power
-
Berserker: Aggressive play, damage spikes, speed
-
Bulldozer: Armor regen, tankiness, explosive resistance
3. Major & Minor Abilities
Your pre-deployment picks that define your role:
-
Major = your ultimate
-
Minor = your mobility/utility tool
These abilities decide the entire identity of your build.
Top Endgame Build Archetypes (2025 Meta)
Based on the community, high-tier squads, and reliable performance data, these are the strongest Endgame builds right now.
1. Assault / Breacher Build (Meta DPS Powerhouse)
Difficulty: Easy
Role: Objective clearing, frontline DPS
Best For: Squads & duos
Major Ability: War Machine (Grenade Launcher)
Minor Ability: Grappling Hook
Recommended Skill Tracks:
-
Berserker (damage chain buffs, elimination speed)
-
Gunner (reload speed + sustained fire)
Why It's Meta
This is the go-to build for high-level contracts, boss rooms, and elite zones. Grappling Hook gives instant vertical control or an escape route, while War Machine melts grouped enemies or fortified positions.
Key Skills to Prioritize:
-
Berserker: Adrenal Rush, Hot Streak
-
Gunner: Quick Hands, Combat Mag, Shocking Reload
2. Recon / Assassin Build (Precision + Mobility Masterclass)
Difficulty: Medium
Role: Intel gathering, target deletion, flanking
Best For: Squads needing a scout or high-value target eliminator
Major Ability: Vision Pulse
Minor Ability: Flicker (Short Teleport)
Recommended Skill Tracks:
-
Tactician (CDR + utility)
-
Daredevil (mobility, slide/dive synergy)
Why It Works
Vision Pulse gives wallhacks and bonus damage windows. Flicker is one of the strongest escape tools in Endgame, letting you reposition instantly. Combined with Daredevil slides and Tactician cooldown discounts, you become nearly uncatchable.
Key Skills:
-
Daredevil: Slide Explosions, Momentum Boost
-
Tactician: Reduced Cooldowns, Equipment Mastery
3. Support / Medic Build (Best Team Utility Build)
Difficulty: Easy
Role: Healing, revives, resource support
Best For: Squads (essential in teams above Zone III)
Major Ability: Crash Cart (Instant Revive + Invulnerability)
Minor Ability: Supply Link (Ammo/Equipment Share)
Recommended Skill Tracks:
-
Surgeon
-
Tactician
Why This Is Mandatory for Squads
Crash Cart is the single most important ultimate in squads—saving runs, boss fights, and contract chains. Supply Link ensures nobody runs dry mid-zone.
Key Skills:
-
Surgeon: Healthy Recovery, Revive Accelerator
-
Tactician: Cooldown Mastery, Equipment Boost
4. Crowd Control Build (Zone & Room Controller)
Difficulty: Medium
Role: Area denial, horde management, room takedowns
Best For: Squads clearing indoor or high-density zones
Major Ability: Drone Pod or Shadow Break
Minor Ability: Black Hat (Hack AI & Equipment)
Recommended Skill Tracks:
-
Tactician
-
Bulldozer
Why It’s Strong
Drone Pod obliterates groups, and Shadow Break manipulates space and disorients enemies. Black Hat is underrated—it can flip enemy AI, disable mines, and create instant chaos.
Key Skills:
-
Bulldozer: Armor Regen, Tackle
-
Tactician: Ability Uptime
Solo vs Squad Build Strategies
Endgame plays VERY differently depending on whether you're alone or with a team.
Solo Build Strategy (Survival > Damage)
Solo Must-Have Abilities
✔ Crash Cart — self-revive = run-saver
✔ Grappling Hook — mobility saves lives
✔ Flicker — escape surrounded situations instantly
Best Solo Skill Tracks
-
Surgeon → self-sustain + “Off the Floor” revive perk
-
Berserker → damage for solo fights
-
Bulldozer → armor + tankiness
You must be a self-contained survival kit from CR 1 to extraction.
Squad Build Strategy (Specialize Roles)
Ideal 3–4 Player Team Composition
| Role | Major Ability | Tracks |
|---|---|---|
| Medic | Crash Cart | Surgeon + Tactician |
| Assault DPS | War Machine | Berserker + Gunner |
| Recon | Vision Pulse | Daredevil + Tactician |
| Control/Utility | Drone Pod | Bulldozer + Tactician |
Critical Squad Synergy Tips
-
Don’t stack ultimates—rotate them
-
Ensure someone handles crowd control
-
Assign loot priorities (DPS should take damage weapons first)
-
Keep spacing—don’t clump for explosives
Progression Guide: How to Build Power Each Run
Early Game (CR 1–9): Stabilization Phase
Your primary goals: survival, ammo stability, consistent healing.
Early Picks to Look For:
-
Quick Hands (Gunner)
-
Healthy Recovery (Surgeon)
-
Ammo Reserves (Gunner)
Avoid situational or niche perks early on.
Mid–Late Game (CR 10–60): Power Spike Phase
Your build should begin forming into its final identity.
Huge Power Spikes (Must Pick If Seen):
🔥 Shocking Reload – stun aura on reload
🔥 Slide Explosions – Daredevil’s best perk
🔥 Tackle – Bulldozer’s strongest crowd-control tool
These perks turn you from “holding on” to “destroying everything.”

Advanced Build Optimization Tips
1. Time Your Ability Rotations
Don’t start a risky contract with:
-
Grappling Hook on cooldown
-
Crash Cart unavailable
-
A War Machine charge wasted
2. Adjust Builds by Zone Type
-
Indoor / tight spaces → Crowd control builds dominate
-
Open outdoor areas → Mobility builds reign supreme
3. Counter Enemy Types
If a zone has:
-
Melee rushers → choose AoE perks
-
Elite shields → get armor-penetration weapons
-
Snipers → pick Daredevil mobility perks
Endgame isn’t static—your choices should respond to what you're facing.
Final Thoughts
The best Endgame players don't just copy builds—they understand why those builds work. Once you master ability synergy, perk priority, and zone pacing, Avalon becomes not just survivable…but farmable.
Master the tools in this guide, and you’ll consistently dominate high-CR zones, secure premium loot, and extract with confidence.
