The Shadow SK is a sniper rifle available early in BO7, offering a solid long-range option for players climbing the ranks.
In COD Black Ops 7’s weapon roster, the Shadow SK stands out as one of the earliest sniper rifles you can access. The Shadow SK is a semi-automatic sniper rifle designed for high-impact one-shot (or near one-shot) kills at long range. With a slower fire-rate but stable recoil, it rewards precision and patience rather than rapid fire.

Shadow SK Tips
- Excellent for long-range lanes; position yourself where enemies must peek into your scope.
- Maximize damage by aiming for upper-torso or headshots, ideal for one-shot potential at distance.
- Use ADS-boosting attachments for quicker target acquisition.
- Pair with a fast secondary (like an SMG or pistol) for close-quarters backup.
- Fire once, then reposition; semi-auto snipers get punished if they stay predictable.
- Use tactical equipment (smokes, portable cover) to control your sniping angles.
