With so many weapons available in Warzone, you might be questioning which ones to use. Should you hold on to your MW3 weapons or invest time in leveling up your arsenal in Black Ops 6? The good news is that adjustments have been made to keep weapons from both games relevant and competitive.

The AK-47 has returned, and if you’re a veteran COD player, you know this assault rifle isn’t the easiest to master, making it less suitable for beginners. However, it can be very rewarding when used by skilled players. To assist you in maximizing your kill count with this AR, we’ve put together a helpful build.

This assault rifle has shown its strength in all phases of Warzone, yet many players avoid it due to its noticeable recoil. That’s why our build concentrates on managing this recoil effectively and enhancing accuracy.

We begin with the Muzzle Brake to help the weapon recover from recoil faster, making it easier to control. To further diminish recoil, we include the Vertical Foregrip, renowned for its ability to significantly lessen vertical recoil.

Since the AK-74’s recoil can be daunting, we focus on minimizing it for better accuracy. To achieve this, we use the Recoil Springs Fire Mod to enhance recoil stability.

However, if you’re confident in your skills, feel free to switch to the 5.45x39mm Overpressured to boost Bullet Velocity.

The Willis 3x optic is the most suitable choice, as you’ll need some level of magnification. Most engagements with the AK-74 will be at medium to long distances, so ensuring precision is vital.

The only attachment that boosts the AK-74’s damage and bullet velocity is the Reinforced Barrel. This rifle is already effective at dealing high damage in mid- to long-range battles, so there’s less need to emphasize damage with additional attachments.

Whenever possible, try to mount the AK-74 when firing from a distance to better control recoil.

In this AK-47 loadout, you won’t have a dedicated short-range weapon, but don’t worry. The ground loot available in Season One is excellent. You can easily find a high-quality KSV or Jackal PDW and be ready for any close-quarters situations.

For perks, stick with the classic combo: Survivor and Quick Fix for quicker health recovery, along with Alertness to help you stay vigilant. This setup positions you well for the long-range engagements typical with the AK-47.

When it comes to equipment choices, it really boils down to personal preference.
