The Kastov-74u ban has begun in Fashionable Warfare II

It all the time takes just a few weeks to regulate after a brand new Name of Obligation recreation comes out (or any on-line multiplayer recreation, actually), together with server points, any excellent bugs, and naturally, balancing out any mechanics that may give gamers a bonus over others. Apparently, that’s precisely the case with the Kastov-74u, which has been banned in professional tournaments currently. The gun is predicated on the actual world AK-47 submachine gun, however in Fashionable Warfare II, it’s really labeled as an assault rifle.

Mainly, the Kastov-74u rips via enemies at shut vary like a submachine gun, but additionally does properly at mid-range, which makes it extra akin to an assault rifle. Whereas it’s not exceptional for gamers to get artistic with their loadouts and use weapons for performs that they weren’t initially meant for (shut vary quick-scoping with a sniper rifle being probably the most well-known instance of this), however the Kastov is lacking the stability that makes for a good struggle, in line with the professional gamers.

The bans began rolling in solely three days after the skilled season began within the first place — if there’s one factor we will all the time depend on, it’s professional avid gamers optimizing a recreation within the shortest period of time doable. As an informal Name of Obligation participant, it by no means ceases me to see how gamers can suss out probably the most highly effective builds on what looks like instinct to me, however then once more I assume that’s why they’re professionals at this.

In wake of the bans, streamer and professional Name of Obligation participant Swagg shared his favourite Kastov-74u loadout, which options the BR209 Barrel, Merc Foregrip Underbarrel, and the True-Tac Grip Rear Grip. It’s a easy construct, that includes solely three out of a doable 5 attachments, however apparently including too lots of the Fashionable Warfare II attachments can hinder you greater than they assist you to in some circumstances.
