The AK-47u is a strange beast that Call of Duty fans haven't seen since Black Ops III of 2015. Five years later, the Frankenstein of a gun re-enters Black Ops Cold War, and it's even more brutal than we remembered. Its bullets still go through walls with the ease of an assault rifle, but still give you high speed like any other SMG. To get the most out of its combined functions, here are the loadouts you will need to create.

The Gunfight Wild Card prohibits you from using any other card, but you will have access to a total of eight attachments for the applied weapon. There is a reasonable consensus that this loadout is the best, not just for the AK-47u, but perhaps in the entire game.
- Muzzle: Sound suppressor
- Baril: 9,9 inch Blue Squadron
- Underbarrel: Front handle
- Body: Constant sight laser
- Stock: Sprint mat
- Magazine: Mag Speed Mag 40 coupes
- Manipulate: MikeForce rear handle
- Optical: Red dot of Kobra
Better loading for close range

This short-range class is why the AK-47u is so sought after: you'll be blazingly fast when handling. The goal of this class is to increase speed as much as possible without having to tack on damage-removing equipment.
- Muzzle: Mouthful 5.56
- Baril: 9,9 inch Blue Squadron
- Underbarrel: Front handle
- Stock: Tactical stock
- Manipulate: Quickdraw handle
Whatever the temptation, you should avoid putting on the sound suppressor. Yes, it's good to stay hidden on the minimap, but Cold War applies a 15% damage reduction when using the attachment. Thus, the Muzzle Break 5.56 is an indisputable pillar.
Best loading for medium range

For example, the application of the 9,5 ″ Paratrooper cannon maintains movement speed while increasing bullet speed. In modes where enemies run aimlessly, you can sit in high areas, remain silent, and take out those players with little to no effort.
- Muzzle: Agency suppressor
- Baril: Parachutist 9.5 ″
- Underbarrel: Front handle
- Manipulate: Force rear handle
- Optical: VisionTech 2x
