Best RPK loadout in Modern Warfare 2
Our MW2 RPK loadout aims to improve its… well, aim! We increase both accuracy and recoil control to make landing shots from a distance much easier, while also boosting damage range and bullet velocity to make it more effective at long range.
Since we want to add accuracy and recoil control, equip theHeavy Support Stockand theDemo-X2 Grip. Since they give a large increase to both stats, we can then use theTAC 597 BarrelandPolarfire-Sto improve the damage range of the RPK. Combining these four attachments makes the RPK far more effective at a distance, turning it into an excellent medium-long range weapon.
The default iron sights are rather small, so it’s pretty hard to pick out targets from far away. With that in mind, we’ve opted for theCronen Mini Proso that we can make it easier to aim at enemies with pinpoint precision. We really would recommend using an optic, but feel free to swap the Cronen Mini Pro out for whichever sight you prefer most.
A weapon suited to short-range combat is the ideal secondary for this loadout, so check out our list of thebest SMGs in Modern Warfare 2for a range of fast and ferocious weapons.

To use an SMG as your secondary, make sure to equip theOverkillperk. It’s one of thebest perks in Modern Warfare 2, allowing you to wield two primaries in the same class setup.Double Timeis another excellent pick, as it extends the time for which you can tactical sprint. For your bonus perk, useFast Handsto quickly swap between your RPK and SMG while you dart around the map. Finally, useGhostas your ultimate to remain hidden from those pesky UAVs and Portable Radars, making it harder for enemies to spot you on the minimap.
MW2 multiplayer is fast and frenetic, and nothing adds to the chaos more than a well-placedThermitegrenade. Toss one into the objective or towards a group of enemies to send them running. If you get hit, take aStim Shotto quickly recover and get back in the fight.
