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.

• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
• Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge

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, the Munitions Box will ensure you’re always topped up with ammo.
