Best RPK loadout for Modern Warfare 2
The Modern Warfare 2 RPK is one of the best LMGs in the game, so here’s the best loadout for it so you can take full advantage of its strengths.
There are plenty of weapons to choose from in Modern Warfare 2, from close-range SMGs to ranged one-shot precise Sniper Rifles like the MCPR-300.
Some like to run and gun while others like to put a massive mag on their weapon and stay patient. Those who like to do the latter usually lean toward the LMG weapon category. For those LMG lovers who are also fans of the classic AK, the RPK might be the weapon for you.
That said, here’s the best RPK loadout in Modern Warfare 2, including the optimal attachments, Perks, and Equipment to use.

Best Modern Warfare 2 RPK loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Eight-Point Flash Hider
- Optic: XRX On-Point Optic
- Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV
- Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip
First off, both the Eight-Point Flash Hider muzzle and Demo-X2 Grip will help greatly with the RPK’s recoil, as well as concealing some of the weapon’s muzzle flash.
The Schlager PEQ Box IV provides some aim down sight speed, balancing the cons of the muzzle and XRX On-Point Optic. Lastly, we have also chosen to use the FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel, as it has no negative effects while improving the weapon’s aiming idle stability.
