How to build the best Modern Warfare 2 Kastov 565 class

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched with a long list of weapons and attachments for you to unlock. Along the way, you can work on getting your hands on the mastery camos to show off in-game. If you’re a player that would rather find out what the best Modern Warfare 2 Kastov 565 class is without having to test out all the attachments, this guide has got you covered.

You may have noticed that Modern Warfare 2 has three versions of the Kastov: the Kastov 565, the Kastov 762, and the Kastov-74u. The Kastov 565 stands out in the assault rifle category, as it is able to pack a serious punch in multiplayer. This class will improve the recoil and mobility of the gun to achieve a versatile loadout that allows you to get aggressive or pick off enemies from range.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 best Kastov 565 class build

• Muzzle: Silentfire XG6
• Barrel: KAS-7 406mm
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Stock: Prolite TL3 Stock
• Rear Grip: Ivanov ST-70 Grip
• Receiver: Kastov 565

Let’s begin exploring the benefits of each attachment. First up is the Silentfire XG6 muzzle which will provide your gun with sound suppression. Not only that, but you’ll experience increased bullet velocity, recoil control, and recoil smoothness. Pairing this with the KAS-7 406mm barrel will continue to tame the recoil, while granting you some extra bullet velocity for long range fights. Then, the FFS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel is useful for more aiming idle stability.

To raise your mobility, the Prolite TL3 Stock is the best option for increased aim walking speed, sprint speed, aim down sight speed, and even crouch speed when you’re trying to be stealthy. Finally, the Ivanov ST-70 Grip will round off your class with greater flinch resistance. This class doesn’t use an optic, but if you’re not a fan of the iron sight, you can always swap out the underbarrel in favor of the Cronen Mini Red Dot sight.

Weapon tuning in Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 introduced fans to an extra level of customization with weapon tuning, but not for long. Just a day after the game launched, Infinity Ward disabled weapon tuning until further notice because it was causing crashes. To get ready for its return, you can always learn all about how weapon tuning works.

The best secondary weapon to accompany your Kastov 565 is a pistol, so you should use one in your secondary weapon slot. If you’re unsure on what pistol to use, check out our Modern Warfare 2 pistol tier list.
