There are a total of ten weapon classes in Modern Warfare 2 that constitute the entire weapon collection in the game. A vast selection of weapons is not available, but through careful modifications with the correct attachments, fans can quickly turn a base weapon into a lethal force to be reckoned with.

Here is a list of all the weapon classes in Modern Warfare 2.

  • Assault Rifles
  • Battle Rifles
  • Sub-Machine Guns
  • Shotguns
  • Light Machine Guns
  • Markman Rifles
  • Sniper Rifles
  • Pistols
  • Launchers
  • Melee

The LMG weapon class contains heavy guns which are clunky and not the best to run around with but compensate for their size with an incredible amount of damage output. The RPK is one of the best choices should a player choose to mow down lobbies with the least amount of reloads on the battlefield.

The RPK has a heavy damage output by default and a comparatively easier handling stat which makes this weapon viable for movement and accuracy configuration despite it being an enormous gun. The fire rate is slow and the recoil needs to be carefully managed while making a choice about the attachments.

Recommended build

  • Barrel: KAS-7 406mm Barrel
  • Laser: Corio Laz-44 V3
  • Stock: Prolite TL3 Stock
  • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
  • Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip

The KAS-7 406mm barrel increases the ADS speed and movement speed on the RPK, making this heavy weapon a little more agile. The Corio Laz-44 V3 is another neat addition that increases ADS speed and aiming stability.

The Prolite TL3 stock increases the sprint speed of the weapon along with ADS speed, making the handling of the weapon easier.

The VX Pineapple underbarrel increases the steadiness of the weapon, which in turn increases its accuracy along with smoothening the recoil. The Demo-X2 rear grip eases the recoil control since the RPK does pack a considerable kick in its recoil.

This build is centered around making the RPK a moving turret that can take down enemies with just 3 to 4 clean shots even at a distance and maintain the player’s mobility on the map for quick repositioning and evasion.
