The AK-74u Guide. This is only for multiplayer and not single player.




The AK-74u (known as the AK-74u, AKS-74u or 74u) is a submachine gun unlocked at Rank 28. The 74u is the 2nd to last SMG on the list. This weapon can be equipped with a Red dot sight, Silencer or ACOG Scope.

Magazine Size:30
Ammo Amount: 60 (without Bandolier). 180 (with Bandolier)

Recoil:Medium

Not many people might have known this. But when the AK-74u is equipped with a Red dot,Silencer or ACOG. The hip-fire (not down the sights) accuracy is reduced to an Assault Rifles hip-fire accuracy. It could mean that when you're not aiming down the sights and firing, less bullets will be hitting your target.


This weapon is like the MP5, because they both have the same range, damage and rate of fire. Except the MP5 has lower recoil and penetration.

The AK-74u can be one of the BEST SMG if you have no attachment. It can even be stronger than the MP5 which is a popular SMG.

AK-74u=BEAST

Pretty good guide. I'm a huge fan of the AK-74u, especially with no attachment. In fact, it's my current CQB class.

What perks do you recommend that go with it?

Currently, I use Bandolier, Stopping Power, and Steady Aim and it works very well on maps such as Vacant and Shipment.

What I would use is:

Bandolier (obviously cuz it runs out and it has high power)

Stopping Power/Seight of hand. It's already powerful you can put stopping power on, or seight of hand for its slow reloading

Deep impact/steady aim. I use deep impact cuz its hip fire is already good (unless with attachments)

Nice guide. This gun is a beast in Search. Well, it's pretty much a beast no matter what game type your in.

Good guide. I prefer to use it with a silencer because the sights are pretty good, and then Bandolier, Stopping Power, and Steady Aim or Dead Silence.

Im an animal with that thing i just smash on kids 24/7.
I can do long or short range with it and i love the iron sights

I have recently got a couple of good streaks going with:
silencer, bandolier, UAVjammer, and slight of hand...it does get iffy over distances

[n0vad3m0n]

Does the 74u take a long time to reload? I've always played with Steady Aim and it's worked out fine. There are some instances where I'm caught reloading, but a quick switch to my DEagle puts things back into place.

[SPOOKFORCE]

It's only a fraction of a second slower in reloading than the mp5 which takes 2.3 secs...it's the same as the mini uzi (2.4 secs)--correct me if I'm wrong

What I would use is:

Bandolier (obviously cuz it runs out and it has high power)

Stopping Power/Seight of hand. It's already powerful you can put stopping power on, or seight of hand for its slow reloading

Deep impact/steady aim. I use deep impact cuz its hip fire is already good (unless with attachments)

Why deep impact its an SMG? I use bandy, stopping power, dead silence/steady aim.
