October 9, 2023: Season 6 is in full swing and to reflect the meta, we've tweaked the best MW2 Vaznev 9K loadout and the strongest attachments to use.

The best Modern Warfare 2 Vaznev 9K loadout is bound to capture the attention of players with Season 6 continuing to progress. Modern Warfare 2 comes with a massive variety of new weapons alongside guns fans of the franchise will find familiar.

Described as a "modern version of the AK platform," the compact SMG features a high rate of fire resulting in incredible close-quarters and mid-range performance. However, a high fire rate results in plenty of recoil so attachment selection is crucial in order to succeed as soon as the mid-season update goes live.

Before we take a closer look at the Vaznev 9K, check out our other guides showcasing the best Modern Warfare 2 assault rifle and the best Modern Warfare 2 perks to use as part of a multiplayer loadout.

What is the best Modern Warfare 2 Vaznev 9K loadout?

  • Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
  • Underbarrel: Edge 47 Grip
  • Stock: Oztrezat Stock
  • Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

Although this build doesn't fill all five attachment slots, it still packs a lethal punch on the battlefield.

The slight boosts to the range and recoil control significantly improve versatility in mid-range gunfights.

Best Modern Warfare 2 Vaznev 9K attachments

The Modern Warfare 2 gunsmith includes a wide variety of attachments allowing players to modify the Vaznev 9K to suit all play styles. Here's what we recommend:

  • Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
  • Underbarrel: Edge 47 Grip
  • Stock: Oztrezat Stock
  • Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip

This simple yet hugely effective attachment combination enhances mobility and recoil alongside increasing the range to improve versatility. The Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider muzzle reduces horizontal and vertical recoil enough to prevent any unwanted kick while the True-Tac grip improves sprint-to-fire and aim-down sight speed.

There are only minor improvements to the Veznev 9K but they're enough to make it a viable option.
