Modern Warfare 2 brings back the most popular and deadly AK-74u, now named Kastov-74u. It is now categorized as an assault rifle instead of the lethal SMG it was known as back in the day.
In MW2, Kastov-74u can bag you many games due to its mobility and higher output damage. Additionally, the gun resembles the older version of the AK-74u SMG that was available in the previous installments of the franchise.
It is crucial to understand the gun’s mechanics and have in-depth knowledge of the options in terms of loadouts, class setup, and attachments associated with the weapon.
To unlock Kastov 74U, you must progress through the Kastovia weapon platform. First, reach level 23, which will unlock Kastov 762 and the Kastovia platform.
Continue playing with Kastove 762 until the platform is at level 10. This will unlock Kastov 545. Once that is available, start progressing through its weapon tree.
Reaching Level 13 with Kastov 545 will finally unlock Kastov 74U in Modern Warfare 2.
This guide will clear all your confusion, ensuring you come out as a beast, providing cover to your rushers, and taking the peaks essential to winning the games.
