In a December 9 YouTubevideo, Metaphor shared his build to improve the Kastov-74u’s ADS time, accuracy and damage.

“This is probably my new favorite SMG in the game,” he said. “I noticed this gun is just a lot more consistent up close. With the high-velocity bullets, it makes it so if you’re shooting somebody you don’t get that weird feeling where there’s a lot of bullet drop on your SMGs.”

This build was made by the content creator specifically for Solo play. If players are using the Kastov in trios or quads, he recommended swapping out the grip for a 45-round magazine so players have more bullets for multiple enemies.
