If you’re looking for the best Kastov 545 loadout, we have you covered with the optimal attachments listed below and a guide on the best equipment and vests to pick to get the most bang for your buck.
Why use the Kastov 545 in MW3?
Although the Kastov 545 will fall short when competing with SMGs at close range, it can be a credible option for further distances, especially if you double down on its already low recoil and high capacity values. As such, we’ve opted for a build that further expands upon this and extends the standard range of the Kastov 545.
With the goal of enhancing the Kastov 545’s range, theSilentfire XG6is a great Muzzle option. It will do just the job, without compromising recoil stability and when paired with theKAS-7 406MMBarrel, bullet velocity will also get a handy increase.
Although 30 Round Mags are often enough for most Assault Rifles, using the45 Round Magon the Kastov 545 will help during combat due to the slower reload times. This will ensure that you can keep shooting for longer and win fights more consistently.
To balance out the above attachments, we’ve gone ahead and added theKastov-RamaStock, which boosts Sprint Speed and Aim Walking Speed back up to acceptable levels. Finally, add your choice of low-zoom optic. TheCronen Mini Prois a worthy candidate here.
Although you can increase the range of the Kastov 545, it isn’t made to rival the likes of a good sniper rifle. If you enjoy the more systematic approach to Modern Warfare 3, rather than close-combatant chaos, choosing a good sniper rifle as a secondary could be a viable option. If so, we recommend theSP-X 80, a lightweight sniper capable of quick scoping and generally considered one of the best to transfer over from Modern Warfare 2.
Engineer Vest, Med Box, EMD Grenade, Commando Gloves, Covert Sneakers, EOD Padding, Bone Conduction Headset
Since the Kastov 545 is built more for accurate mid-range shots, you’ll be best to pair it with avestequipped for a more methodical approach and perhaps a support role. We recommend theEngineer Vestfor such a role as it can highlight enemy equipment, Field Upgrades and Killstreaks through walls. With this vest, you will also get the maximum allowance ofgearslots and Field Upgrades will recharge faster. As such, we suggest combining it with a handy support feature like theMed Boxthat will deploy a box of medical supplies to you and your teammates.
With this vest, you don’t get aLethalslot but you do get twoTacticalGrenades. We suggest you opt for theEMD Grenade, with your increased accuracy but lower damage output, the EMD Grenade will help track any enemies hit and submit that information to your teammate’s minimaps.
Forgloves, theCommando Gloveswill help with that pesky reload time, and theCovert Sneakerswill ensure you’re silent whilst doing so. These boots essentially eliminate any sound your footsteps would otherwise make.
Lastly, you get two gear options with this build, we suggest going for theEOD Paddingfor reduced damage from non-killstreak explosives and fire, and theBone Conduction Headsetwhich reduces overall combat noise and makes it easier to detect enemy footsteps and gunshots. With this gear, you’ll be more robust and be able to spot enemies more easily, in time to highlight them to teammates.
