G11 in the Black Ops Campaign
The G11 only appears in the mission “Numbers.” In this level, Dr. Daniel Clarke uses the weapon while the player accesses it through various hidden weapon caches around Hong Kong.
The G11 functions as a three-round burst weapon when used by the player. However, Clarke’s version appears to fire in full auto. The campaign variant has no scope sway and provides stable aiming, making it effective in controlled encounters. Despite its short screen time, the weapon reflects the game’s Cold War-era experimentation theme.
Multiplayer Performance
Unlock Requirements and Cost
The G11 is a classified weapon in multiplayer. To unlock it, players must first purchase every other assault rifle. Afterward, the G11 becomes available for 2,000 COD Points, bringing the total cost to 16,000 COD Points.
Damage and Fire Rate
The G11 fires in a three-round burst at 1250 RPM per burst, but only 523 RPM overall due to burst delay. Each bullet deals:
- 35 damage up to 37.5 meters
- 25 damage past 50 meters
This means it takes 3 bullets to kill at short range and 4 bullets at long range. Low recoil and high centerspeed (1700) give the G11 reliable accuracy.
Magazine and Mobility
With a 48-round magazine, the G11 has the second-largest standard mag in its class. It reloads in 2.7 seconds when loaded and 3.85 seconds when empty.
Movement speed is 95% of base, but strafe speed is reduced to 40%, which can affect close-range fights.
Attachments
The G11 supports only two attachments, both of which affect its optics:
- Low Power Scope: Default option; includes sway in multiplayer
- Variable Zoom: Allows users to switch zoom levels for different engagement ranges
These attachments don’t change recoil or handling, so the weapon remains stable under fire.
G11 in Zombies Mode
The G11 is available through the Mystery Box in all Zombies maps except Dead Ops Arcade. It comes with the Low Power Scope by default and holds 48 rounds.
While the rifle starts out accurate with low recoil, it falls off quickly in effectiveness. Past round 15, the damage output is too low to rely on in critical situations. This makes it better for early rounds or as a backup weapon.
Pack-a-Punched: G115 Generator
When upgraded at the Pack-a-Punch machine, the G11 becomes the G115 Generator. This version:
- Fires fully automatic at 1250 RPM
- Gets higher damage (150–100 per shot)
- Has no sway on the scope
- Retains a 48-round mag, but doubles max ammo to 288+48
- Speeds up reloads by half a second
These changes make the G115 Generator more viable in later rounds. The auto-fire and increased damage allow better crowd control. However, it still suffers from limited versatility compared to stronger Zombies weapons.
Trivia
- The G11 is the most expensive classified weapon in Black Ops.
- It shows up in both the console and Wii versions, with slight differences.
- The Pack-a-Punched name, “G115 Generator,” refers to Element 115, part of the Zombies storyline.
- The Low Power Scope behaves differently depending on the mode. It sways in multiplayer and Zombies, but not in campaign or the Wii version.
- In the game files, there’s a beta icon and extra model details, such as unreadable magazines and developer references like “III-ARC” (short for Treyarch).
- In ADS with the scope, the screen remains stable, but the scope shifts slightly, making it unique among scoped rifles.
Final Thoughts on The Call of Duty G11
The Call of Duty G11 remains a memorable part of Black Ops, especially for players who enjoy burst-fire weapons. Its high accuracy and clean recoil profile make it reliable in multiplayer. In Zombies, it needs early Pack-a-Punch upgrades to stay useful. The gun also reflects Treyarch’s focus on Cold War-era experimental designs, both in aesthetics and performance.
While not the most powerful rifle in every mode, the G11 offers a distinct playstyle that rewards accuracy and patience.
