Best AK-47 Attachments Loadout Set-Up
The AK-47 is the second Assault Rifle you unlock in Black Ops Cold War. Here’s the in-game weapon description to give you a taste of what it’s like…
“ Full-auto assault rifle. High damage with a marginally slower fire rate. Excellent stopping power for mid range encounters.”
Maximum Firepower
As a statistic, Firepower takes several things into account. Damage, Fire Rate, Effective Damage Range, and Bullet Velocity primarily. With this in mind, this is how to get Maximum Firepower with the AK-47.

This AK-47 attachments loadout set-up turns the Russian Assault Rifle into a true force of nature. The 20” Spetznas RPK Barrel and the VDV 50 Rnd Fast Mag drag it into the realms of the Light Machine Gun. Meanwhile, the Bruiser Grip and Spetsnaz Field Grip aim to claw back some Speed and Accuracy to make it more viable.
Maximum Speed
As a statistic, Speed is pretty straight-forward. It takes into account your Aim Down Sight Time, Sprint to Fire Time, and Shooting Move Speed amongst others. Here’s how to maximise Speed with the AK-47.
- Optic: N/A
- Muzzle: N/A
- Barrel: 15.5” Ultralight
Strafe Speed +5% - Body: Steady Aim Laser

This is the ultimate run-and-gun set-up for the AK-47. It’s Sprint to Fire Time is high and the Infiltrator Grip adds bonuses to Shooting Move Speed and Aim Walking Move Speed. The Steady Aim Laser’s additional Hip Fire Accuracy means this set-up is best used in close range combat.
Maximum Accuracy
As a statistic, Accuracy is all about Recoil Control and Hip Fire Accuracy. You have to actually hit your target, right? Here’s how to achieve maximum Accuracy with the AK-47.
- Optic: Diamondback Reflex
1.37x magnification reflex sight; - Muzzle: Spetsnaz Compensator
Vertical Recoil Control +12%
Horizontal Recoil Control -8% - Barrel: N/A

- Handle: GRU Elastic Wrap

This is about as accurate as it gets with the AK-47. The Diamondback Reflex Optic makes use of the extra accuracy, but the AK-47 is far from the most accurate long-range AR. The GRU Elastic Wrap, though, should offer enough protection with its additional Flinch Resistance to allow this weapon to be viable in longer-range firefights.
Gunfighter Wild Card
The Gunfighter Wild Card is a class option which unlocks three additional attachment slots for your primary weapon. This means, you can have a fully loaded AK-47! Below, we’ve explored the best fully-equipped AK-47 loadout attachment set-up for you.

Personal Picks
When all is said and done, it’s always best to tweak your AK-47 attachments loadout set-up until you have a weapon that best suits your playstyle. That being said, we’ve compiled a Personal Pick that we’ve found is one of the best set-ups out there.

Shooting Move Speed -10%
Sprint to Fire Time -15% - Stock: N/A
This AK-47 isn’t too dissimilar to the Maxiumum Accuracy AK-47 attachment loadout set-up; however, there are some key differences. For one, it uses the Iron Sights. The AK-47 has largely un-intrusive Iron Sights, meaning you can still spot enemies at quite a difference. The 18.2” VDV Reinforced Barrel adds an additional 100% Effective Damage Range with additional Bullet Velocity to make this an adaptable set-up. The 40 Rnd Speed Mag is a no-brainer when deciding on a final attachment. Aim Down Sight Time is reduced, but the additional Magazine Ammo Capacity and Reload Quickness is beyond useful.
