The AK-74 is essentially a replica of its more iconic brother, the AK-47, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If you want to use the famous assault rifle in BO6 multiplayer, you need to ensure you have the correct loadout for the AK-74.

Best AK-74 Loadout in BO6

Just like the AK-47, the AK-74 has small iron sights, kicks straight up in the air when firing, and can deal a tremendous amount of damage if you’re accurate. It’s the definition of a high-risk, high-reward weapon that will take some getting used to in BO6. However, with the right set of attachments, you can mitigate the AK-74’s weaknesses and boost its strengths.

You can see the best loadout for the AK-74 in BO6 below:

  • Optic: Merlin Reflex
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
  • Stock: Heavy Stock

This is an extremely well-balanced loadout for the AK-74, improving on all of its major stats. Your damage range and bullet velocity are boosted with the Reinforced Barrel, and recoil control is increased by the Vertical Foregrip. The Heavy Stock reduces flinch resistance and then Quickdraw Grip increases aim down sights speed, ensuring you can kill enemies at all ranges.
