The Best Search And Destroy Class

AK-74u

This compact sub-machine gun is more than capable of making an impact on a match of S&D. Its rapid rate of fire makes it deadly in close quarters situations while its low recoil levels makes it possible to contend with assault rifles at longer distances.

Here are our recommended attachments for the AK-74u:

• Muzzle Brake 5.56 (Muzzle)
• 9.3” Extended (Barrel)
• Foregrip (Underbarrel)
• Tactical Stock (Stock)
• Quickdraw Handle (Handle)

The combination of muzzle brake and foregrip further reduces recoil to minimal levels, making this SMG extremely easy to control, even in hectic close-quarters battles around the bombsite.

The stock increases your strafe speed which is perfect for navigating the map while aiming down sights while the quickdraw handle drastically increases your aim down sight speed, allowing you to react as quickly as possible to an opponent attempting to make a play.

Search And Destroy Tips And Tricks

Communication Is Key

In Search and Destroy, knowledge is power. By communicating with your teammates using a microphone or the ping feature, you can suggest what is the best course of action during a round or even tell another player where an opponent is located.

The best S&D teams are often the ones that communicate well and adapt to the information that they have received.

Patience

Rushing in S&D can often result in you being caught out by an enemy in a better position or an opponent that has simply waited a bit longer in order to secure the kill.

Rather than trying to beat an enemy to a particular location, pre-aim where you think they will be appearing from and take them out before they can dart back into cover and regroup.
