Best AK-74 loadout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta

The AK-74 is one of the three Assault Rifles you can unlock and use in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta. Its great firepower already makes it a top choice for mid-to-long-range combat. Tweak it a bit more with the attachments we’ve mentioned below and you’ll have a beast at your disposal.

Now before you customize the AK or rather any weapon, reach Player Level 4 first. This will unlock the Create-A-Class (customizable loadout feature) in the BO6 beta. Then reach level 7 to unlock the AK-74.

What is the best build for the AK-74 in Black Ops 6 beta?

Use these attachments to create the best AK-74 build in Black Ops 6 beta:

• Optics: Volzhskiy Reflex
• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Lightweight Foregrip
• Stock: Heavy Stock
• Fire Mods: Rapid Fire

Optics is mostly a personal preference. I liked the Volzhskiy Reflex more as it was available during the early levels of the AK-74 and has an ample field of view. The red dot in the middle is subtle enough for back-to-back headshots.

The Long Barrel improves effectiveness at long-range combat with increased damage. Combine that with the Lightweight Foregrip to reduce sway when aiming down sights. This will help you control the weapon better as the AK is known for high recoil.

Attach the Heavy Stock to improve resistance to flinch. For the final attachment, use the Rapid Fire after unlocking Fire Mods. This will improve the AK-74’s fire rate and help you spray down enemies faster.

You can skip the Magazine attachment as it comes with a magazine size of 30 bullets by default. This should be enough to kill at least two enemies at medium range.

Best Equipment and Perks for AK-74

Here are the best Equipment and Perks you can use with the AK-74:

• Tactical: Stim Shot
• Lethal: Semtex
• Field Upgrade: Trophy System
• Perk 1: Flak Jacket
• Perk 2: Gung-Ho
• Perk 3: Bankroll
• Perk 4: Ghost
• Wild card: Perk Greed

Using these attachments, equipment, and perks, the AK-74 will be a force to be reckoned with on any map. Be it the open spaces in Scud or the cheeky corners of Derelict, you can’t go wrong with this weapon. A great alternative to this weapon is the XM4.

However, if you prefer engaging in close-range combat, then the Jackal PDW should be your go-to choice.
