The heavy-hitter Kastov 762 packs a punch with every shot and is great for long-range and breaking armor plates. On the other hand, the Chimera's versatility allows players to switch to it without needing to reload the Kastov 762.Kastov 762 recommended attachmentsMuzzle: ZLR Talon 5Barrel: KAS-10 584mm BarrelOptic: Aim OP-V4Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56Magazine: 40-Round MagChimera recommended attachmentsLaser: 1MW Quick Fire LaserBarrel: 14" Bruen EchelonStock: Ravage-8Rear Grip: D37 GripMagazine: 45-Round Mag4) TAQ-V and Vaznev-9kThe TAQ-V battle rifle and Vaznev-9k SMG in Warzone 2 (Image via Activision)Similar to the Kastov 762 and Chimera combo, the TAQ-V battle rifle and Vaznev-9k perform on par with each other.
