Best Kastov-74U loadout in Warzone 2
Here’s the best Kastov-74U loadout in Warzone 2:
Rather than doing anything drastic like collapsing the stock, we’ve taken advantage of the Kastov-74U’s naturally high handling speeds to balance out a powerful selection of the best Kastov-74U attachments for lowering recoil, extending the magazine, and increasing bullet velocity. With this Kastov-74U loadout, you’ll be able to keep your crosshair on target while you mow down whole enemy teams in a startlingly short space of time.
Our Kastov-74U build aims to lower recoil and increase bullet velocity, so that you can beam baddies with ease.
As always, let’s start with the Barrel attachment. TheShorttac 330mmis a fairly lightweight Barrel mod which serves to lower recoil (a much needed trait for any good Kastov-74U build) while also extending bullet velocity. We’ve then ramped that bullet velocity to the max with the5.45 High VelocityAmmunition, to help boost the gun’s effectiveness at range and keep it feeling as responsive as possible.
The45 Round Magslows the gun down a bit, but it’s worth it for the extra magazine capacity, which is great for dealing with multiple threats in quick succession. You’ll be doing a lot of that in Warzone 2.
Next we’ve lowered the recoil further with thePhase-3 Grip- one of our favourite Underbarrel attachments and one which also boosts hipfire accuracy for messy close-quarters circumstances. Finally, add your choice ofWarzone 2 Opticsattachment. We’ve opted here for theCronen Mini Profor its clean, no-nonsense sight.
You’ll find that with the above attachments in place, the Kastov-74U’s main downside - its high recoil - will be very significantly diminished. This allows you to stay on target and mow down enemies with the Kastov-74U’s extremely high DPS. Remember that you can potentially push that control and accuracy even further with weapon tuning. It lacks some of the speed of its default self, but when compared to even some of thebest Assault Rifles in Warzone 2it’s still a very speedy gun.

Given the Kastov-74U’s fairly close range for an Assault Rifle, you’d best pair it with a long-ranged alternative. Thebest Sniper Riflesreign supreme in Warzone 2’s massive open environments, so we’d recommend you pick either theSignal 50(faster-firing) or aVictus XMR(harder-hitting) depending on your sharpshooting preferences.
