The AK-74u has been a reliable and effective choice in Warzone since its release in Season One. The weapon rewards aggressive players who are looking to push enemies at all times, let’s check out a loadout that fits this playstyle.
While the AK-74u was among the most popular SMG picks at first, the gun has been heavily altered thanks to the Season 3 Reloaded update. With various nerfs and buffs coming through, you’ll need to adjust your loadouts to counter the new adjustments.
It can still be a beastly tool in the right hands, so if you’re looking to make the most out of the fast-firing SMG, we’ve got you covered with the optimal AK-47u loadout for Season 3.

- Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
- Barrel: 9.3″ VDV Reinforced
- Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock

Your previous AK-74u loadouts may still be effective in Season 3. Though with recent nerfs to Bullet Velocity and Maximum Range, they won’t be quite as optimal. Using the exact attachments above will give you the best possible setup to counteract the new downsides.
For starters, the GRU Suppressor boosts your Max Range to near pre-nerf status with a 10% boost. Similar can be said for the 9.3″ VDV Reinforced Barrel which also comes with a hefty increase to Bullet Velocity as well.
With these two attachments, you’ll have a slightly slower setup, but one that almost reverts the SMG back to its firepower before the latest nerfs.
