Call of Duty: Black Ops 6departs from the modern era by taking players back to the 90s, bringing with it aroster of war-torn 6v6 mapsand a lineup of familiar weapons. While the XM4 is one of the most popular Assault Rifles inBlack Ops 6Multiplayer, the heavy-hitting AK-74 is another excellent choice.
The AK-74 is a fan-favorite Assault Rifle inBlack Ops 6that excels in medium-range engagements. This particular Assault Rifle boasts a decent amount of firepower, courtesy of its slower fire rate and higher damage-per-shot. Although it falls behind other weapons in its category in terms of mobility, accuracy, and handling,the AK-74 can still be a strong option with the right loadout.
Best AK-74 Loadout In Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
The AK-74 boasts high damage, but its handling attributes are pretty poor in comparison to other weapons like the XM4 andthe Jackal PDW. The below build aims to mitigate this flaw,boosting both aim-down sight and sprint-to-fire speed, along withimproving movement, slide-to-fire, and dive-to-fire speeds. Horizontal recoil control has also been boosted, eliminating much of the side-to-side bounce players may experience across range.

Secondary Recommendations To Pair With The AK-74
The AK-74 is a heavy-hitting Assault Rifle and will serve as the main go-to weapon for a player’s loadout. However, even the AK-74 needs some support, especially when players find themselves unable to squeeze in a quick reload between gunfights. This is where a good Secondary weapon comes in handy, with Handguns like the9mm PMand theGS45serving as great candidates. Both are fast and reliable, so choosing between them is a matter of personal preference.
