Best Vaznev-9K Loadout And Attachments

Like all other weapons in the game, the Vaznev-9K also has 9 attachment slots. But only a maximum of 5 slots can be active at one time. For the attachments for Vaznev-9k, we have picked the following ones as the best Modern Warfare 2 Vaznev-9k Loadout:

• Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
• Laser: STOVL DL Laser Box
• Stock: Markeev R7
• Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
• Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot

Although this setup does seem like a relatively simple one, rest assured it is the most effective one. All the focus in this build is on increasing mobility and improving range, which ends up making the gun more versatile.

This build will help you get out swiftly of risky situations and provide you an upper hand in close combat and even mid-range fights. Let us take a closer look at the benefit your receive from each attachment.

Muzzle: Lockshot KT85

The Vaznev-9K’s damage is already pretty good, so you don’t need to buff that. However, its recoil tends to create some issues, which is why we have the Lockshot Kt85 muzzle equipped. This muzzle will reduce the large recoil of this gun, providing you with more accurate shots.

You may find yourself in a long-distance fight somewhere between the match, and that’s where the recoil control comes into play since, with more recoil control, you can shoot more shots with less deviation.

The aim down sight speed and aiming stability are both reduced when this attachment is equipped. But as you will see later, the Vaznev-9K already provides tons of mobility, and our other attachment choices will give mobility boosts, so there is no need to worry.

Stock: Markeev R7

Although the Vaznev-9K provides excellent mobility, being an SMG. But to get the upper hand and escape risky situations, extra mobility can never be harmful. This is why we choose Markeev R7 as our stock to give us that extra movement speed so that we can make those 1hp plays.

Your aim down sight speed also gets a boost with this attachment, which is the key to making the best loadout on an SMG like Vaznev-9K. A drawback of this attachment is the reduced aiming stability, but that is a sacrifice we must make for the greater good.

Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

True-Tac Grip will enhance your spring-to-fire speed, which will allow you to bring the weapon up much faster. Since Vaznev-9K is designed for close-quarters combat, hence this is a must-have attachment to clear out enemies at a close range.

This attachment does reduce the recoil control, but the muzzle attachment makes up for it. Also, in my opinion, speed is more important of an upgrade than recoil, especially in close-range fights.

Laser: STOVL DL Laser Box

For the fourth attachment, you would want to choose the STOVL DL Laser Box. This attachment will boost your hip recoil control and accuracy, which is great for sudden fights or barging into a room full of enemies.

Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot

Lastly, the red dot sight is never a bad choice for any gun. This is more of a personal choice but I would recommend using red dot sight for more accurate aim, especially when the recoil of the gun is this high.

Best Vaznev-9K Loadout Perks

A Call Of Duty game is not complete without perks, and modern warfare 2 features them in all their glory. Perks can prove to make a huge impact on your performance, and it is important to choose the right one before heading down to the battlefield. Hence here are the best perks we suggest you use with the best loadout of Vaznev-9K:

• Base Perk 1: Double Time
• Base Perk 2: Scavenger
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost

The first base perk is Double Time, which doubles your Tactical Sprint duration and increases crouch movement speed. This can be critical for tracking down enemies or for removing yourself from a risky situation.

The second base perk is Scavenger, which lets you pick up ammo from players you have killed. Since the Vaznev-9K is an SMG, you would need this perk if you want to survive longer and not be left dependent on your knife. Since Vaznev-9K burns through its ammo reserves, this perk is an ideal choice.

The bonus perk of Fast Hands boosts your reload speeds. If you are a COD veteran, you already realize the importance of this perk. By any chance, you would want to avoid getting eliminated by another opponent during reloading as no one accepts this as an excuse.

Ghost is going to keep you hidden from UAVs, Portable Radar scans, and Heartbeat Sensors. If you want to survive longer and don’t want enemies attacking from behind your back, this perk is the best choice. Also since you get so much mobility with this best loadout of Vaznev-9K, this perk will help you run about undetected and take down enemies before they even realize what hit them.

Best Vaznev-9K Class Equipment

When building your Vaznev-9K SMG class setup, it is also important to pair it with equipment that works well with the weapon’s intended playstyle. As such, here are our selections for the best equipment alongside your Vaznev-9K:

• Secondary: X13 auto
• Tactical: Stun
• Lethal: Semtex
• Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
• Field Upgrade 2: Portable Radar

Secondary: X13 auto

The X13 is a go-to choice for the secondary weapon in any case, but in this Vaznev-9K best loadout, we strongly suggest this pistol due to several reasons. Firstly, this gun has a rapid rate of fire, giving you back that SMG feel which makes your arsenal more familiar.

Secondly, with its incredible rate of fire, it also comes with lethal damage output, making it one of the best secondary weapons for this loadout. Alternatively, it can also be useful to put out that final shot if your Vaznev-9K’s magazine runs out.

Tactical: Stun

The Stun, pictured above, the grenade is arguably the most useful tactical players can equip when looking to run and gun. All veteran COD players must be familiar with its importance and how it can turn the tide of a battle if used effectively. Although the area of effect is a little less the effect induced in your opponent almost confirms a kill every time.

As such, this makes the Stun a great entry tool before running into a room or building. You can then proceed to mow them down with your Vaznev-9K.

Lethal: Semtex

The Semtex, as visible in the image, is a useful grenade with a fuse that sticks to surfaces. The wide area of effect is much needed for this best Vaznev-9K loadout, and with its sticking ability, it is especially useful in choke points.

Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

The Dead Silence Field Upgrade, shown in our image above, silences your footsteps for a short duration, which is reset every time players make a kill. This perk, when used with the high mobility of Vaznev-9K proves to be a lethal combo. You can sneak up on enemies without them realizing it and pull off incredible flanks. Hence, this facilitates the fast-paced gameplay players should expect with their Vaznev-9k.

Field Upgrade 2: Portable Radar

Players can unlock a second Field Upgrade slot upon reaching level 45.

For this, we recommend the Portable Radar, which can be seen in the image above. It is just like the radar drone in many OG Call Of Duty titles, marking your enemy’s position on your mini-map as the pulse passes. Therefore, it can serve you well in creating an optimal situation for yourself and getting the upper hand.

Summary

That brings us to the end of the best loadout for Vaznev-9K in COD Modern Warfare 2. If you don’t have access to SMGs yet, read our guide about unlocking all weapons in COD mw2.
