Our best loadout for the RPK begins with the ZLR Talon 5 attachment, which makes the gun easier to control, shoot farther, and faster. Then, you can add the FTAC Ripper 56 and Lockgrip Precision-40 to make the gun even more stable and easier to handle when shooting.

Most players often like the Aim Op-V4 because it’s a simple one-zoom attachment with a clear sight. Using 7.62 High Velocity rounds can help make it feel easier for you to hit targets that are far away.

Best weapons to pair with the RPK in MW2

Fennec 45

Along with the RPK itself, the Fennec 45 is also one of the on-going meta’s in MW2. And seeing that the RPK isn’t a close range weapon, it doesn’t hurt to fill that gap with a submachine gun like the Fennec 45. It’s bullet velocity is arguably second to none, and whether you play MW2 or Warzone 2, you can’t go wrong with equipping the Fennec 45 alongside your RPK build.

Lachmann Sub

Continuing on the theme of submachine guns, the Lachmann Sub is a great secondary choice to have with your RPK. The MP5 feel and elusiveness that comes with the light mobility it bares, makes it one of the best submachine guns in the game, allowing you to fly around while providing pin-point accuracy from close range, and even mid-range to an extent.
