Best AK47 Loadout Cold War: Season 6 Class Setup Guide

After spending 80+ hours in Cold War, I recommend the following loadout for AK47.

The launch of season 6 on October 7, 2021, has brought fresh and welcoming changes to Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. There have been tons of weapon balancing, and players have taken the multiplayer lobbies by storm.

AK 47, one of the best weapons from the previous season, is also becoming a go-to weapon for many pro players in the game. However, it is the class setup revolving around this gun that makes it a one-of-a-kind weapon in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. 

Key Takeaways
  • The classic go-to weapon in terms of assault rifles in the COD franchise has been the AK47, which is also a respectable weapon in COD: Cold War.
  • The AK47 is a classic Assault Rifle with decent base stats.
  • The weapon can become a true beast by equipping it with the right attachments and class setup.
  • In COD: Cold War, the AK47 is the choice of many players due to its high damage and reliable performance in close range.

Here is an Overview of my AK47 Loadout:

Best Attachments For AK-47 Loadout

In my opinion, the stock AK-47 does not pack enough punch to become the best assault rifle in season 6. It is why you must use pick the right attachments that overpower this weapon, making it one of the best ARs in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.

By selecting the proper attachments, as I did with the MP5 season 6 class setup, the AK-47 can possibly become your go-to assault rifle in the game.

Like AK74u, AK-47 at stock is a pretty decent assault rifle in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. It comes with a 30-38 base damage (depending on where you hit your target). Moreover, the stock magazine houses 30 rounds which can be further extended to 50 bullets per magazine.

  • Faster TTK 
  • Improved Stability
  • Increased Mag Capacity
  • Limited Range
  • Laser might be disturbing

The Secondary Weapon Loadout

Not that you will need to rely most of the time on your secondary weapon, but still, you must have a reliable secondary weapon to use in a time of need.

That is why I recommend going with the Sunburst secondary weapon with the following attachments:

  • Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
  • Barrel: 7.2” Reinforced Heavy
  • Body: SWAT 5MW Laser Sight
  • Magazine: Salve 30 RND Fast Mag
  • Stock: Dual Wield

Best Perks & Wildcard

Since I already suggested equipping eight weapon attachments for the AK-47, that leaves you to pick the Gunfighter Wildcard. The entire class setup that I  have suggested in the guide revolves around making AK 47 the best assault rifle for season 6 in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.

However, the improved stability, damage, overall control, and consistency of the AK-47 is not possible without equipping the eight attachments to the weapon. So, you must go with the Gunfighter Wildcard and equip all eight attachments.

Best Equipment to Select for AK 47 Loadout

You must also equip the best equipment because having proper weapon attachments, the secondary weapon, and the perks are not enough for the best AK-47 loadout in Cold War.

Here are the top three pieces of equipment I think you should have in this class setup.

  • Stimshot
  • C4
  • Field Mic

The ability to quickly heal and recover lost health is always a welcome addition for run-and-gun playstyle players. Stimshot allows you to keep up mobility while receiving health on the fly after using this equipment.

Primarily, C4 is a fantastic offensive explosive device that can take out multiple enemies in a second if you make the best use of it. Alternatively, players can also use it to defend themselves against an enemy team ambush.

Picking up the Field Mic from the Perk 3 tab also allows you to know the enemy’s locations at the minimap.

My Take On AK-47

The overall AK-47 loadout is created to favor a run-and-gun playstyle instead of camping. The high damage of this weapon will eliminate enemies quickly and will keep them on their toes for possible threats. If you love to use AK on the battlefield you can try out my recommended attachments and class setup along with some slight variations to get the best loadout for you.

That is pretty much everything you need to know about creating the best AK 47 loadout Cold War setup. What has been your favorite go-to weapon since the launch of season 6? Let me know more about it in the comments section below.
