The Season 3 Reloaded patch of Modern Warfare 2 is currently live and it has brought significant overhauls to the meta of the title. Among the weapons whose stats have been adjusted, Vaznev-9K has seen a slight drop in its damage range. However, the core damage output of the SMG remains untouched and it still boasts one of the fastest close-range TTKs in the entire game.

The Vaznev-9K is also one of the best Sub-Machine Guns in the game and can be efficiently used in close-range firefights. It provides the player with high mobility, high sprint-to-fire speed, and a high rate of fire. With the right attachments equipped, the base stats of the weapon can be vastly boosted, making it even stronger and more versatile.


How to get the best Vaznev-9K loadout in Modern Warfare2

In order to get the best loadout for Vaznev-9K in Modern Warfare 2 players need to equip it with the following attachments:

  • Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
  • Stock: Otrezat Stock
  • Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
  • Barrel: KAS-1 381mm
  • Stock: Markeev R7 Stock

The True-Tac rear grip will be a great addition to the weapon, which will improve sprint-to-fire speed as well as ADS speed. The weapon already excels in this department, but the attachments will improve it further.

The Otrezat Stock is a straightforward attachment with many advantages and insignificant drawbacks. It will increase the player's sprint speed and walking speed while aiming while trading for slight stability, something this is not noticeable.

Lockshot KT85 is an excellent attachment that improves horizontal and vertical recoil control, and its effects are distinctly prominent. Although the ADS speed decreases, the previous attachments compensate for it.

The KAS-1 381mm barrel is important for increasing the weapon's range, accuracy, and handling as it lengthens the barrel of the Vaznev-9K. The best part is that it does not decrease ADS speed or its mobility significantly.

Lastly, the Markeev R7 Stock further increases the sprint speed as it reduces the overall weight of the gun, so it helps with increasing the ADS speed as well, making it one of the best additions to the class.

If you are uncomfortable using the gun without an optic attachment, the Cronen Mini Red Dot is the best option as it gives a clear picture of the enemy, thanks to its thin bezels. The Optic attachment can replace the Lockshot KT85 muzzle as that will result in the lowest performance loss.

The Vaznev-9K is based on the real-life gun PP19-01 Vityaz, which originated in Russia and is still used by the Russian military. The PP19 Bizon is a variant of this gun in Modern Warfare (2019), which was praised by the community. In Modern Warfare 2, it's part of the Kastovia Weapon Platform and takes quite a while to unlock unless Double XP tokens are being used.

To unlock this weapon, the player must reach Rank 23 first to unlock the first weapon in the tree, the Kastov 762 aka AK-47. The game then requires the player to level the gun up to 11 after which the second weapon in the tree will unlock, the Kastov 545 in Modern Warfare 2.

After reaching Level 13 on the second weapon, the Kastov-74U will become available to those who will need to grind and reach Level 21. Finally, the Vaznev-9K will be unlocked for the players to use and level up.

Most of the viable attachments for the weapon will be unlocked after reaching its maximum level of 14. However, to unleash the gun's full potential and unlock all its available attachments, players will have to level up various other weapons in Modern Warfare 2.
