The Merc Foregrip is all about increasing your overall accuracy while also improving your recoil controller. It will slow down your mobility, but we’ll fix that with the next attachment.

With the VLK Stockless, you’re looking to bring back some of that lost mobility and handling. It’ll give you a much-needed boost after all the last attachments made those stats take a hit. This class is all about balance.

Finally, the True-Tac Grip brings up your Sprint to Fire Speed and overall Handling without sacrificing too much accuracy.

All these attachments together create the perfect balance of Recoil Control, Accuracy, and Mobility. When paired up with the high TTK of the Kastov-74u, it gives you one of the deadliest weapons in MW2.
