The JAK Cataclysm Conversion Kit for the RPK LMG possesses devastating power, capable of two-shotting enemies at any distance with precise head and neck shots in Warzone. This aftermarket part is included with the Season 5 Week 2 challenges and can be acquired by completing any five tasks within these challenges.

By equipping this kit, the LMG from MW2 transforms into a .50 cal sniper rifle. While the typical bullet count reduces to 15 and the rate of fire is low, the increased damage output compensates for these drawbacks.

To fully utilize the potential of the RPK with the JAK Cataclysm Conversion Kit, additional attachments must be equipped in Call of Duty Warzone.

How to build the "two-shot" RPK loadout with JAK Cataclysm in Warzone

The RPK with the JAK Cataclysm is a unique conversion where this old MW2 LMG becomes a semi-auto sniper rifle. The weapon becomes viable in a Warzone scenario, offering a fun yet powerful option for medium to long-range battles.

The weapon has a learning curve, requiring you to control the gun kick, but with a little practice, it becomes an interesting weapon with a powerful damage output. Although it may not be an absolute meta or a broken weapon, it stands out as the best MW2 option currently available in Warzone.

The build provided below reduces the gun kick and enhances the weapon's recoil and ADS time to improve control and performance in battles.

Recommended build:

Conversion Kit: JAK Cataclysm
Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Stock: Broadside FCT
Underbarrel: SL Skeletal Vertical

The JAK Cataclysm AMP is a key attachment that significantly boosts the weapon's damage but also reduces the rate of fire, magazine size, and overall speed.

To enhance long-range engagements, the Sonic Suppressor L is the ideal muzzle attachment, as it increases bullet velocity and damage range.

Given the weapon's high damage, recoil and gun kick are expected. To mitigate these, the SL Skeletal Vertical underbarrel is the best choice, improving recoil control and reducing vertical gun kick.

For better mobility, the SL Razorhawk Laser Light is recommended, as it boosts aim walking speed, tactical sprint speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and ADS speed.

Additionally, the Broadside FCT stock further enhances mobility by increasing crouch movement speed and ADS speed.

Is the RPK with the JAK Cataclysm worth using in Warzone?

Yes, the RPK with the JAK Cataclysm is worth it. The weapon is fun to use and provides a solid option for long-range battles. It’s well-balanced, neither overpowered nor underpowered. However, since it’s a MW2 weapon, the handling might not be the best.

You can use it effectively in any mode, whether in Resurgence or Battle Royale, and achieve great gameplay. Just practice a bit to master the weapon's kick and recoil. Once you get the hang of it, dive into matches and give it a try.
