Best Assault Rifle and Loadout
Following are the best assault rifles and their loadout.
Kastov 762
The Kastov 762 is currently riding high as the best weapon in the game, especially when using its most deadly loadout. This turns this otherwise average gun into an insanely powerful AR that is overpowered at the moment. With a lot of stopping power, good range and damage, and an all-around solid set of stats, it dominates multiplayer fights currently. If you haven’t already been killed by it, don’t neglect this beastly piece of hardware – and start killing with it.
Following is the best loadout for Kastov 762:
Optic | Cronen Mini Red Dot |
Rear Grip | Ivanov ST-70 Grip |
Muzzle | Kastovia DX90 |
Underbarrel | FTAC Ripper 56 |
Ammunition | 7.62 High Velocity |
M4
It is no secret that the M4 is one of the best weapons in Modern Warfare 2. It is renowned for its accuracy, reliability, and power, making it capable of earning quick kills. It also has the perfect balance of what you would want from every type of gun; describing it as a jack-of-all-trades is accurate.
Following is the best loadout for M4:
Muzzle | Forge-TAC Castle Compensator |
Barrel | Tempus Hightower 20” |
Underbarrel | VX Pineapple Vert Grip/ FSS Sharkfin 90 |
Rear Grip | Sakin ZX Grip/ XTEN Grip |
Stock | Demo Precision Elite Factory |
TAQ-56
TAQ-56 is a powerful, long range rifle that can rival the M4 in terms of overall performance. However, it differs from most other rifles because it has very low recoil and high accuracy; this makes it capable of being fired at long range or close up without much of a difference between each shot.
Following is the best loadout for TAQ-56:
Muzzle | Corvus Slash Gen.2 |
Barrel | 14.5” Tundra Pro Barrel |
Underbarrel | VX Pineapple Grip |
Ammo | 5.56 High Velocity |
Rear Grip | FSS Combat Grip |
Optic | Cronen Mini Red Dot |
Kastov 74U
Although the Kastov 74U is actually the AK-74u, it was always an SMG in past games. However, its mobility and speed compensate for its difficulty in handling like a rifle or sniper, so you play it mostly like an SMG. Although it differs from other weapons on this list, it has the strength of an assault rifle (AR) and a submachine gun (SMG), so it should be highly rated.
Following is the best loadout for Kastov 74U:
Barrel | BR209 Barrel |
Stock | Markeev R7 Stock |
Underbarrel | Merc Foregrip |
Ammunition | 5.45 High Velocity |
Rear Grip | True-Tac Grip |
STB-556
There are plenty of customizable parts available for the STB-556 when it comes to comfortability. The gun has low recoil, fast handling speeds, and plenty of customizable parts available for it. As a result of its damage per second (TTK), it isn’t worth using unless you need a cheap yet reliable gun.
Following is the best loadout for STB-556:
Comb | FTAC C11 Riser |
Underbarrel | VX Pineapple |
Barrel | 24.4″ Bruen S-620 |
Receiver | STB 556 |
Muzzle | Harbinger D20 |
Optic | Cronen Mini Red Dot |
