Although the Kastov 545 Assault Rifle may not be the most popular choice in Modern Warfare 2, when equipped with the best attachments and Perks, it can still deliver a significant punch. Here’s everything you need to build the best Kastov 545 loadout for Modern Warfare 2.


Modern Warfare 2 boasts a diverse selection of 15 powerful Assault Rifles, providing players with plenty of options such as the TAQ-56, Kastov 762, Tempus Razorback, and M4. By carefully customizing attachments, the Kastov 545 can transform into a highly efficient AR.

So whether you need to level up the weapon for attachments, for the elusive Orion camo, or just to try out a new gun, here are all of the attachments and Perks to create the best Kastov 545 loadout in Modern Warfare 2.

Like other Kastov variants, players can customize the Kastov 545 extensively.
  • Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
  • Barrel: IG-K30 426mm
  • Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
  • Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

When building the best Kastov 545 loadout in Modern Warfare 2, we want to improve the weapon’s accuracy and damage to lower its time to kill. But, we’ve also made sure its aim down sight speed isn’t too slow either.

We’ve kicked off the Kastov 545 loadout with the FTAC Castle Comp Muzzle and IG-K30 426mm Barrel as together, they’ll vastly improve the Kastov’s damage, range, and accuracy. But they’ll also slow the weapon down, so the Schlager PEQ Box IV Laser will improve the ADS speed without any drawbacks.

We’re further increasing the Kastov 545’s mobility with the True-Tac Grip at the cost of aiming stability, but we’re making up for that by including the popular FSS Sharkfin 90 Underbarrel.

Best Perks & Equipment for Modern Warfare 2 Kastov 545 loadout

The Kastov 545 can be a good weapon if customized correctly.
  • Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Cold-Blooded
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
  • Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge
  • Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

You’ll also need a strong set of Perks and Equipment to get the most from the best Kastov 545 loadout, so we’ve opted for the tried and true pairing of Bomb Squad and Battle Hardened. Combined, you’ll have protection from anything the enemy throws at you.

Cold-Blooded is an extremely useful Perk as you’ll be hidden from any enemy Killstreak, and Ghost is handy when moving around the map. But, beware that your shots will ping on the minimap whether you have a suppressor equipped or not.

For Equipment, Flash Grenades are deadly thanks to their powerful blinding effect, and there’s nothing better for rooting out campers than the Drill Charge. Finally, Dead Silence will ensure you’re always topped up with ammo.
