The G-R5 is a hostile humanoid combat bot deployed by enemy forces. It moves and shoots like a trained soldier, uses tactical positioning, and is built with reinforced chassis armor. The unit appears as a mini-boss–style threat during the Exposure mission, challenging players with accurate rifle fire and aggressive pushes.

How to defeat the G-R5

To defeat the G-R5 in Black Ops 7, get to cover fast—its rifle bursts are accurate and deadly. Aim for the exposed chest panel to deal bonus damage, and use grenades, C4, or launcher shots to break its armor. Keep your distance, kiting backward if it pushes forward. Once the armor cracks, finish it with steady rifle or sniper fire for a quick takedown.

G-R5 Combat tips

  • Stay behind hard cover to avoid the G-R5's highly accurate rifle fire.
  • Use EMPs or shock-based tactical equipment to temporarily disable the robot, creating opportunities for attack.
  • Watch for flanking maneuvers, as the G-R5 moves faster and attempts tactical repositioning more aggressively than standard soldiers.
  • Aim for its exposed chest panel, especially during reload cycles, to deal bonus damage and disable its armor.
  • Combine explosive bursts (grenades, C4, launcher rounds) with coordinated team fire in co-op mode to quickly strip its armor.
