This guide details the best RPK loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer and Warzone 2.0.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II‘s multiplayer is finally available to play. Most fans have already played Modern Warfare 2‘s Campaign via early access. But now players are keen to get stuck into the multiplayer.
Modern Warfare 2 has revamped the Call of Duty multiplayer formula in a number of ways. And some of the changes have divided the fanbase. Be it the changes to the mini-map or perk system, there’s definitely a sense that not everything is perfect in the new game.
However, one area that fans are almost universally happy with is the guns. They look and sound great, and the new levelling up/unlock system is a welcome innovation.
Thankfully, Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer provides players with a decent selection of guns and weapons to play around with. And, as always, some are better than others.
The RPK is an LMG variation of the real-life AK-47 (called the Kastov 762 in MW2). While it functions identically to its Assault Rifle counterpart, the RPK has improvements to boost its accuracy and sustained fire.
As with all LMGs in Call of Duty, the RPK is slow and heavy when compared to smaller weapons. However, LMGs come with the added bonus of high damage and large ammo capacity. And that makes them incredibly viable with the right loadout.
With Warzone 2.0 finally here, players are looking for the new meta weapons. And the RPK with this loadout is sure to be at the top of the list.
So, let’s take a look at the best RPK loadout in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0…
How To Unlock The RPK in Modern Warfare 2
Before we get into the best loadout, let’s explain how to unlock the RPK in Modern Warfare 2.
Like most guns, the RPK isn’t available right from the start. It needs to be unlocked by levelling up weapons in the same platform.
In this case that is the Kastovia platform. The Kastovia platform also houses the Kastov 762, 545, 74u, and Vaznek-9K.
This is how to unlock the RPK in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: To unlock the RPK, rank the Kastov 762 up to level 16.
Best RPK Loadout in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0
Now we know how to unlock the RPK, let’s take a look at the best build. After all, it is not great without the right attachments.
The meta loadout for the RPK involves maximising its range, damage, and accuracy, while negating recoil.
This is the best RPK loadout in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0:
Muzzle – Polarfire-S
Barrel – TAC 597 Barrel
Optic – SZ Mini (Optional)
Stock – Heavy Support Stock
Rear Grip – Demo-X2 Grip
This build significantly buffs Damage, Range, Accuracy, and Recoil Control. While it does decrease Mobility and Handing, it’s important to remember that LMGs aren’t designed for run-and-gun like SMGs.
This RPK loadout should have you cutting through enemies in Warzone 2.0. Consider pairing it with a lightweight close-range alternative like the Vaznek-9K or akimbo X13 Auto.
