Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The AK-47 is the final rifle unlock and worth the wait. Insider Gaming puts its damage among the highest in the game and calls it ridiculously powerful with Stopping Power; Altered Gamer calls it one of the best in the class. The verdict for Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer is to use it as a main gun, but opinion on the optic is split.
Best AK-47 loadout
The build is Insider Gaming's (12 November 2023). Altered Gamer's 30 January 2010 guide disagrees on optics, saying a red dot is useless because of recoil, so we use the newer advice.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Holographic Sight | Insider says it effectively gives the AK free FMJ |
| Perk | Stopping Power | About 40% more bullet damage |
Why this build works
High damage and high range give the AK its appeal, and Altered Gamer says that makes it suit both close and long shots. Insider notes the default iron sight is unobstructive, so the holographic sight is a choice rather than a necessity. The trade-off is a slower rate of fire and strong recoil.
How to play it
Altered Gamer's advice for long range is to fire single bursts, because the recoil is strong. Up close you can rely on the damage. Accuracy is rated only average, so don't expect it to behave like the ACR at distance.
Unlock notes
Level 70 and the last rifle in its class, per Altered Gamer and Insider Gaming. The Steam guide (11 June 2018) says the Holographic Sight takes 60 kills looking through the Red Dot Sight.
