The Kastov 545 is a popular AR in Modern Warfare 2, and it’s one that is finding its way into battle royale loadouts as the meta shakes out, too. It might not be as flashy as the TAQ-56 or M4, but this is a gun that’s easily used with a few important attachments.

Using the Gunsmith to help guns like the Kastov 545 reach their full potential in Warzone is the main difference between victories and squad-wide frustration.

Here’s the best set of attachments to use on the Kastov 545 in battle royale.

Why this is the best Kastov 545 Warzone loadout

As things currently stand, the Harbinger D20 muzzle attachment is the go-to favorite for assault rifles in Warzone. It will offer an increase in bullet velocity, damage range, recoil smoothness, and sound suppression, while only negating some handling.

Considering the negatives added to both mobility and handling with this build, you’ll want to pair the 545 up with an SMG like the Vaznev-9K or Lachmann Sub for dealing with enemies up close or traversing the open areas of Al Mazrah more quickly.

A big trade-off comes from the 60-Round Mag, which is nice to have for its ability to sustain fire on armored enemies but takes a large toll on maneuverability. You can swap it out for the 45-Round Mag if you find yourself feeling a bit too slow with this build.

You truly can’t go wrong with this perk package in Warzone. I love using it on just about any class or build because it’s an all-purpose class that buffs your movement and abilities to fend off stuns and flashes with ease.

The throwing knife might not be as flashy or loud as something like a semtex or C4, but it’s excellent for finishing off downed enemies from a distance without having to waste more ammunition.
