The RPK isn’t quite as powerful as it once was in Warzone 2, but it is still a solid long-range choice if you use the following loadout:
| Attachment | Tuning | How to Unlock |
| TY-LR8 (Muzzle) | +0.65 ↑ +0.18 → | SA-B 50 Level 17 |
| AIM OP-V4 (Optic) | -1.58 ↓ -1.65 → | BAS-P Level 5 |
| FTAC Ripper 56 (Underbarrel) | +0.54 ↑ +0.32 → | Lachmann-762 Level 6 |
| 7.62 High Velocity (Ammunition) | -0.52 ↓ -1.74 ← | Kastov 762 Level 13 |
| Demo-X2 Grip (Rear Grip) | +0.48 ↑ +0.16 → | RPK Level 18 |
Meta RPK Attachments in Warzone 2
The TY-LR8 is the best muzzle for the RPK in Warzone 2 as it reduces horizontal recoil more than any other barrel. If you haven’t unlocked this yet, then the Sakin Tread-40 and Bore-490 are also good options.
Our favorite optic for the RPK is the AIM OP-V4, thanks to its low visual recoil, but equip whichever optic you like the most.
We have opted for the FTAC Ripper 56 over other good underbarrels like the Edge-47 Grip and Lockgrip Precision 40 as it doesn’t reduce your movement speed. Additionally, it reduces vertical and horizontal recoil by 4%.
Next, the 7.62 High Velocity ammunition gives you more accuracy at long range by increasing the RPK’s bullet velocity by 44%.
Finally, the Demo-X2 Grip is an extremely underrated attachment for the RPK. This is because it reduces recoil without slowing down your ADS time.
