The first rifle is the FTAC recon, an all-around weapon that excels across various damage ranges. To optimize its performance, players should equip it with the Sakin Thread 40 muzzle attachment and a 3.4x optic for faster ADS (aim-down sight) speed and enhanced stability.

While its 15-round magazine may be perceived as a drawback, the use of .458 High-Velocity ammunition compensates for this by improving both velocity and damage range, effectively balancing out any downsides.

Opting for the AIM OP-V4 optic enhances ADS capabilities, while a 45-round magazine allows for faster reloads. The 5.45 High-Velocity ammunition improves performance at mid to long ranges, bolstering both accuracy and damage. Finally, the inclusion of the IG-K30 406 mm barrel and Echoless 80 muzzle attachments further extends the weapon's effective damage range and velocity.

The KASTOV 545 assault rifle is a unique option that can be highly aggressive and effective if utilized correctly. It remains a solid option even for novice Warzone 2 players, provided they equip it with the right loadouts.

You can use IG-K30 406 mm barrel for better recoil stabilization and handling, with a combination of Echoless 80 suppressor for enhanced damage range and bullet velocity. Optic AIM OP-V4 is good to go for any assault rifle to improve your ADS time. You can also add a 45-round mag, which is a bit slower than the 30-round, but that won't be a problem if you use a 5.45 High-Velocity bullet.
