Best AK-24 Battlefield 2042 loadout
The best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 build is:
- Bravo 3x
- Warhawk Compensator
- Standard Issue / Drum Mag
- Cobra Grip
The AK-24 is at its best when built with medium engagements in mind. These attachments will have you perfectly optimized to take – and defend – multiple objectives across the Battlefield 2042 maps.
For the sight, we’ve chosen the Bravo 3x scope as it’s perfect for fighting enemies at mid-range. The Fusion Holo is a great option for your Plus Menu, as it allows you to have a scope for close-quarters combat – perfect if you need to clear out buildings. Remember though, the AK-24’s slower rate of fire will see it lose out in a 1v1 against popular weapons like the M5A3.
For the barrel, we’ve opted for the Warhawk Compensator which helps with recoil control. You can have a suppressor on your Plus Menu if you’d like, but the Warhawk should be your default as it’s great for the AK-24’s intended range.
The Standard Issue / Drum Mag is our default option for ammunition, as it gives you plenty of ammunition to play with. High-Power rounds are a great secondary option as they boost the firepower of the AK-24.
The Cobra Grip is our choice for the fourth slot, simply because it helps control the AK-24’s recoil – which at times, can be unmanageable.

This does mean that you’ll have to play Assault to get this gadget, though more on that in a moment.
