Despite a recent hotfix that reduced the damage ranges on the Kastov 762, this weapon is still one of the best to use in Modern Warfare 2.

According to Call of Duty expert Hero on YouTube, this gun can be insane with the proper loadout.

Luckily for us, he gave us exactly that in a recent video.

It’s not always just the weapon itself though. As we all know, attachments and tuning play a massive role in making a weapon good or not so good.

Hero has provided all the details you need to utilize this powerful weapon to the highest level.

For the barrel, he selects the SA Leveler 55 and brings the tuning in to help bring down the recoil to help with the long-range weakness.

The FSS OLE-V laser continues to be a popular laser thanks to its aim down sight speed, stability, and sprint-to-fire speed.

In terms of the ammo, he selects the 7.62 but this is largely due to the ability to apply the purple electric traces that you can use with the tracer pack Purple Jolt.

For the rear grip, he selects is the DEMO-X2 which allows the player to maximize recoil control, which combines with the barrel to turn the weapon into a laser.

If you’re looking to experiment with the weapon, then this is the build you’ll want to load up.

Given the recent additional nerfs to the RPK and Fennec, the weapon meta is definitely changing so why not do a little testing!
