Best Kastov LSW Loadout in MW3 Multiplayer

While they may not be as favored as Assault Rifles and Sub Machine Guns, LMGs certainly have their place in the MW3 Meta. The Kastov LSW has the highest fire rate of the LMGs in MW3, as well as boasting excellent Tac Stance accuracy. Per the Call Of Duty Blog, this makes the Kastov LSW a great option for close and mid range. The Kastov LSW also has some unique attachments, including a grip which allows it to be held like a chainsaw. To make the most of this weapon and stay aggressive with it in MW3 Multiplayer, here are the best attachments for the Kastov LSW.

  • Bracefire-HC Grip: Improves Mobility as well as Hipfire & Tactical Stance Spread. This grip also gives the Kastov LSW a Chainsaw style hold, eliminating ads and providing a zoom and tighter spread when the ADS input is pressed.
  • Caster-X1 Compensator: Vastly improves Horizontal Recoil and Firing Aim Stability with a slight penalty to Aim Down Sight Speed
  • CLVR IV Heavy Stock: Improves Recoil Control and Gun Kick Control at the cost of Movement Speed and Aim Walking Speed.
  • SL Razorhawk Laser Light: Improves Aim Walking Steadiness, Tac Stance Spread, and Sprint to Fire & ADS Speed. Laser and Flashlight are visible to enemies in ADS.
  • 150 Round Magazine: Improves magazine size by 50%.

With these attachments, the Kastov LSW becomes an accurate and mobile LMG with a unique place in the MW3 Meta. This is a perfect weapon to spray and pray with to get as much damage down range as possible, but still provides decent accuracy.

Our Kastov LSW Loadout for Warzone fills an entirely different role than in Multiplayer. With this build, The Kastov LSW can have its recoil vastly reduced, but it becomes a slower weapon to handle. Here are the best attachments for this LMG in Warzone.

  • JAK Glasses Optic: Provides a clean and clear sight for aiming and tracking targets in mid ranges.
  • Mitigator X40 Heavy Barrel: Gives a 20% Reduction to all types of recoil. Makes ADS Speed, Aim Walking Speed and Sprint Speed Slower with some small penalties to Aiming Idle Sway.
  • Quartermaster Suppressor: Prevents user from showing up on minimap when firing and improves all types of recoil (especially Horizontal Recoil Control) with some penalty to ADS.
  • Spetsnaz S15 Stock: Improves Gun Kick Control and Recoil Control with a penalty to ADS Speed and Aiming Idle Sway.

With the aforementioned attachments, the Kastov LSW is a great option for support players in squads, or aggressive solo players who want to keep reloads to a minimum.
