Best Kastov 545 loadout and attachment in MW3

  • Muzzle: Silentfire XG6
  • Barrel: KAS-7 406MM
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag
  • Stock: Kastov-Rama
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Ammunition: 5.45 High Grain Rounds

Our first laodout recommendation is the Silentfire XG6 which greatly improves the weapon’s range when used as Muzzle. You’ll notice an improved bullet velocity without a decrease in recoil stability. Up next is the KAS-7 406MM barrel which gives you better aiming from longer distances. The 45-Round Mag is a good magazine option for the Kastov 545 and will prove helpful to you in multiple encounters with the opposition. 

It will also reduce the number of times you have to reload in heated matches. As for stock, we’ve used the Kastov-Rama to boost the weapon’s overall Sprint Speed and AWS while the Cronen Mini Pro optic will give you better aim at enemies from long ranges. And lastly, we have the 5.45 High Grain Rounds ammunition which will grant you fantastic firepower, letting you take the fight to the opposition. 

Best Kastov 545 perks and equipment in MW3 

  • Vest: Engineer Vest
  • Gloves: Commando Gloves
  • Boots: Lightweight Sneakers
  • Tactical: Frag Grenade 

The Engineer Vest will help you highlight enemy equipment such as Killstreaks and Field Upgrade through walls. Although you can’t get a lethal slot, you can go into battle with two Tactical Grenades. We recommend the Commando Gloves as they’ll increase your reload time while the Covert Sneakers will reduce the noise that comes from your movements, giving you opportunities to perform finishing moves on enemies.
