A fresh scorestreak is set to debut in Season 2 of Black Ops 7, resembling a popular weapon from the acclaimed game Titanfall. The new scorestreak, named the ‘Lockshot,’ requires 450 score points for activation. It can lock onto and eliminate up to three targets swiftly once fired, reminiscent of Titanfall’s Smart Pistol.

The Smart Pistol in Titanfall, introduced in 2013, was a starter weapon available to all Pilots. It was favored by players who utilized wall-running abilities, allowing them to effortlessly target enemies while on the move. The weapon required a brief charge-up time before delivering an instant kill and could also function as a regular pistol when needed.

In Black Ops 7, the Lockshot functions as a scorestreak, granting players a single opportunity to utilize its multiple instant-kill capability. Details on the lock-on duration or whether it varies based on the number of targets are yet to be revealed. Described as a “sleek smart pistol,” the Lockshot boasts three rounds that can lock onto multiple targets for consecutive eliminations with a single trigger pull.

Players in Black Ops 7 can acquire the Lockshot through a Weekly Challenge scheduled to launch midway through Season 2. The scorestreak will feature Overclock abilities like ‘Multi-Lock,’ increasing magazine capacity for an extra target, and ‘Quick-Lock,’ reducing the lock-on time for enemies.

The introduction of the Lockshot raises anticipation for potential shifts in the Black Ops 7 gameplay dynamics, drawing parallels to the Titanfall experience. Fans have already noted similarities between the two games due to their futuristic settings and agile movement mechanics.

While Respawn Entertainment focuses on other projects like Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi series, the likelihood of a new Titanfall installment remains uncertain. Hence, Black Ops 7 emerges as a spiritual successor to Titanfall, bridging the gap for fans eager for a similar experience, albeit without the iconic mechs present in Titanfall.
