If you’re after an AK-47 loadout that will have you winning games across all engagement ranges, then this is the build you’ll want to use. Just like our recoilless AK-47, this class utilizes theKGB EliminatorandSpetsnaz Gripto help control the gun’s vertical/horizontal recoil.
The20″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrelis also a must for those that wish to increase the AK-47’s effective damage range. While the lack of optic can make long-range kills a little more tricky, the majority of Cold War’s maps favor close to mid-range engagements.
As a result, theBakelite 50 Rnd Maghas been utilized as it only diminishes the gun’s ADS time by 15%, meaning you’ll be able to snap onto targets without needing to constantly pre-aim corners. This well-rounded class will remain competitive, no matter the map or mode you’re playing on.

No recoil AK-47 loadout
This is arguably the most accurate AK-47 build as it utilizes the above attachments to greatly reduce the gun’s vertical and horizontal recoil. TheKGB EliminatorandSpetsnaz Gripare the main attachments here as they negate a lot of vertical kick, allowing you to beam your foes without having to wrestle with the gun. Even when used full-auto, this AK-47 loadout barely moves.
Whether you wish to melt through multiple foes on the game’s smaller maps or deliver devastating ranged headshots in Fireteam: Dirty Bomb, this loadout will enable you to do just that.
In terms of perks,Flak JacketandGhostwill give you the survivability needed to rack up thoseall-important Scorestreaks, whileGearheadwill enable you to use yourAssault Packmultiple times.
Best competitive AK-47 loadout
It’s often best to follow the pros when building a lethal loadout, particularly if you wish to max out your AK-47. BothDashyandScumphave used this particular AK-47 build to great effect, often going on huge killstreak tears that result in quick victories.
This class is one of the more balanced loadouts, as it both boosts the AK-47’s accuracy and damage, while also increasing mobility for those close-quarter skirmishes. After all, being able to zap onto enemies and remain competitive in close to medium range firefights is extremely beneficial.
The recoil is slightly higher than the loadout above, but it remains competitive against thelightning-fast MP5andMAC-10 buildsthat dominate the game’s smaller maps. Consider using this class if you prefer a well-balanced approach.
Long-range AK-47 loadout
Black Ops Cold War’s Fireteam: Dirty Bomb and Combined Arms modes feature much larger scale maps and while close-quarter firefights are common, it’s often best to keep your distance and rain down terror from afar.
Paired withSUSAT Multizoomoptic and damage range boosting barrel, this AK-47 loadout is capable of some incredibly long-range kills. Simply find a decent choke point and unleash terror as your enemies run on to the objective.
TheField MicandKGB Target Designatorwill help highlight enemy targets, whileGhostwill keep you hidden from any prying eyes. Of course, the added bulk of this loadout makes it rather unwieldy in close-quarters fights, so be sure to switch to theGallo SA12whenever you enter more built-up areas.
Best ‘run-and-gun’ AK-47 loadout
to compete with Black Ops Cold War’s highly mobile SMGs, you sometimes need to convert your AR into an SMG. Whether you prefer to seek out close-quarter firefights, or aggressively flank your foes, then this snappy AK-47 loadout will enable you to do just that.
Mobility and ADS speed remains a big part of Black Ops Cold War, especially when you’re playing on maps likeNuketwon ‘84. As a result, we’ve utilized both theSerpent WrapandKGB Skeletal Stockto minimize the more cumbersome areas the game’s ARs have.
TheSuppressorkeeps you hidden when firing, whileNinjaandGhostgive you plenty of opportunities to go on those stealthy flanks. If that wasn’t enough, theVDV 50 RND Fast Magensures you have enough ammo to melt through multiple opponents.
If you run out of ammo, simply replenish it from fallen players or sneak behind an enemy and dispatch them with the 1911.
