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.
