MW2 best Kastov 762 Loadout: attachments and why you use them

Here is our best MW2 Kastov 762 Loadout:

• Muzzle: Bore-490
• Barrel: 342MM Sakin KL
• Laser: 1MW Laser Box
• Stock: Prolite TL3 Stock
• Underbarrel: VX pineapple

The Bore-490 adds a substantial amount of recoil reduction, which is a must-have for an assault rifle that you'll be shooting at full blast at enemies right in your face. With this muzzle, you'll be more than able to keep shots on target in high-intensity situations.

As for the Barrel attachment, the 342MM Sakin KL is the close range, hyper aggresive barrel attachment. It provides extra movement speed, ADS speed and hip recoil control, at the cost of damage range, bullet velocity, hip fire accuracy and recoil control. The only way this works is if you're using a close range build, which we are!

Speaking of the laser slot, the 1MW Laser Box is a great pick. It provides flat hip fire accuracy and hip fire recoil control, which we need in spades in this close range build. You won't be aiming down sights much with this, so you'll get lots of value from this!

For the Stock, we have the Prolite TL3 Stock, a lightweight stock that further increases your movement speed ADS speed, and provides some smaller beenfits that aren't super crucial. You do lose a bit of recoil control, but since you'll be up close, it should not matter too much.

Finally, the underbarrel slot is taken by the VX pineapple. This attachment is a all-in-all great pick for all close range weapon builds. It provides a lot of hip fire accuracy, hip fire recoil control, recoil steadiness, and aim walking steadiness. You lose a little bit of walking speed, but we've gained so much with prior attachments that it balances out nicely.

With all of these together, you’ll have an MW2 Kastov 762 loadout that’ll let you take on anyone who you can run up to. Just don't try taking on any snipers and marksman rifles — you have no chance.
