Tame that heavy recoil with our best Warzone 2 Kastov 762 loadout
Looking for the best Kastov 762 loadout in Warzone 2?The Kastov 762 may hide behind an unfamiliar name, but it’s a very familiar feeling gun to Call Of Duty fans. This is Warzone 2’s equivalent of the AKM or AK-47 from previous COD titles, and as you might expect it’s a very high-damage, high-recoil Assault Rifle that can tear through opponents if handled properly.
Fortunately, with the right set of attachments you can take some immediate steps towards mitigating the rifle’s heavy recoil, and make it far easier to kill your way to the final circles. In this guide we’ll walk you through how to put together the best Kastov 762 build and build inWarzone 2. We’ll go over the reasoning behind each attachment choice, and we’ll also walk you through our recommendations for which secondary weapon to use alongside the Kastov 762.
Best Kastov 762 loadout in Warzone 2
The biggest drawback to the Kastov 762 in Warzone 2 is, of course, its recoil. If you can control your shots, the gun hits extremely hard and can outperform most other guns in its ideal range. So our Kastov 762 loadout focuses almost exclusively on improving recoil control - particularly horizontal recoil - and making the gun feel a lot more snappy and reliable in your hands.
The first attachment pick for the Kastov 762 is theTY-LR8, a Muzzle attachment which drastically compresses the horizontal lean of the gun’s recoil, making the spray far easier to control. We’ve supplemented this with the heavyIG-K30 406mmBarrel, which further improves recoil control and boosts the gun’s bullet velocity to boot.
We like bullet velocity here at RPS, so our next pick is the7.62 High VelocityAmmunition mod. Particularly when combined with the IG-K30 Barrel, this turns the Kastov 762 into a practically hitscan weapon within its ideal range.
TheFTAC Ripper 56on the Underbarrel is one of our universal favourite attachments, providing a great boost to overall recoil stabilization, aiming stability, and hipfire accuracy with only negligible impact to ADS speed.
Finally, although the Kastov 762’s default sights aren’t terrible compared with manyWarzone 2 ironsights, we’ve added theCronen Mini Proto make hitting your shots at longer ranges even more straightforward. Though you can of course substitute this for any of your favouriteWarzone 2 Optics.
If you use all of these attachments in combination, then you’ll find our version of the Kastov 762 to be far, far more controllable and powerful than the base weapon. We’ve turned the gun’s one major downside into one of its greatest strengths, allowing you to take full advantage of the Kastov 762’s high damage per shot to melt enemies in record time.
The Kastov 762 can’t quite compete with the likes of theSTB 556for range, but it’s still a very versatile weapon that can find a home in a close-range or a long-range loadout depending on your preference and playstyle.
For short-range loadouts, we’d recommend combining the Kastov 762 with theExpedite 12for a reliable, high-damage response to close-quarters engagements. Alternatively you could check out one of thebest SMGs in Warzone 2and opt for aLachmann Subfor its exquisite combination of damage and high mobility.
If you’re more of a sharpshooter, consider taking in one of thebest Sniper Rifles in Warzone 2such as theSignal 50, which boasts a startlingly high fire rate for quick follow-up snipes. Or, if you prefer to end fights before they begin, you should pick the bulkyVictus XMRorMCPR-300for raw damage potential over the longest distances.
TheSpecter perk package(Ghost, Double Time, Tracker, Spotter) is well worth using in this Kastov 762 build, as it helps you hide from enemy surveillance while sneakily tracking them down for an easy kill. You might notget a loadout dropuntil a little later in a match, but the Specter package is perfect for the late game, when the circle has already shrunk by a substantial amount.
One of the main reasons for using this perk package is Ghost, which allows you to remain undetected when enemies pop a UAV. However, hiding from your enemies doesn’t mean they’re also hidden from you. Specter also gives you Tracker and Spotter, allowing you to see enemy footprints on the floor and spy enemy equipment through walls. This will make it much easier to track where enemies might be while moving around Al Mazrah. If you do spot an enemy in the distance, Double Time will make it much easier to rush in, as it extends your tactical sprint duration. We think this is the best perk package for both survivability and more aggressive pushes, making it ideal for Warzone 2.
If you enjoy those aggressive pushes, thenC4is the obvious lethal equipment for your loadout. You can toss it towards enemies, whether they are in cover or in a vehicle, and quickly finish them with a bang. For your tactical, use theHeartbeat Sensorfor a fast scan of your surroundings that will reveal any nearby enemies. It has a fairly short battery life, though, so make sure you save it for when you’re already pretty sure there’s someone nearby to track their exact position.
