Best Kastov LSW Gear, Modern Warfare 3 Class Build

Published:

This Kastov LSWintroduced in Modern War 3 Season 6 (alongside the DTIR 30-06) boasts “best-in-class rate of fire and accuracy in tactical stance” among other LMGs (lithe machine guns) in the game.

However, to fully utilize the potential of this LMG, which can “tear apart enemies at short and medium range,” you need to operate the right attachments.

It can’t compete with the likes of the TAQ Evolvere or Bruen Mk9 at range, but if you want to shred enemies up close, this is the gun for the job. In addition to its high rate of fire and impressive accuracy, it also has decent damage and a 100-round magazine, so you can lay down plenty of suppressive fire.

How to Unlock the Kastov LSW in Modern Warfare 3

To unlock Kastov LSW in Modern War 3 In Season 6, you must complete cell nine on the Battle Pass map. The fastest route is through targets 1-3-5-9, completing each one in order (or you can mark target eight instead of five if you prefer the rewards, since they both lead to the same place).

As always, modern weapons in the Battle Pass are free, so you don’t have to spend any money if you have enough Tokens.

Here is the best Kastov LSW gear set in Modern War 3:

  • Mouth: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Barrel: Bombast T54 tiny barrel
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Pivot Vertical Bracket
  • Rear handle: VIP-09 Grip Demonstration
  • Optical: SZ Lonewolf Optics

Since the Kastov LSW is designed for close combat, we don’t really need to upgrade this aspect of the weapon with our attachments anymore. If we go too far towards this aspect, the recoil becomes too much even at close range.

So we have to find a balance while maintaining ease of operate and mobility, which is ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider is great for. It increases both horizontal and vertical recoil, aiming stability, and has the added benefit of shortening radar signals. The only downside is a slight penalty to sight speed and bullet velocity, the latter of which is largely irrelevant at such tiny ranges.

However, Bombast T54 tiny barrel restores lost ADS speed and also increases movement and sprint speed to fire speed, AND hip-fire dispersion and tactical stance, where the weapon already excels. Tactical stance is very situational, but it’s a great weapon to rely on. Then, Bruen Pivot Vertical Bracket helps again with vertical recoil, which is much worse for this weapon than horizontal recoil.

Because you will still be very mobile even though it is an LMG, VIP-09 Grip Demonstration re-boosts ADS and sprint to fire speed, while opting for an optical sight is recommended, as the iron sight on this weapon isn’t great. We’ve chosen SZ Lonewolf Optics as this will facilitate with mid-range aiming, but if you want even faster ADS aiming, choose a shorter range red dot sight.

Here is the best class to operate with Kastov LSW in Modern War 3:

  • Vest: Shooting vest
  • Secondary: Kar98k
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade
  • Mortal: Sticky pomegranate
  • Terrain upgrade: Trophy system
  • Gloves: Quick Grip Gloves
  • Shoes: Trail shoes
  • Run: EOD Filling

The Kasotv LSW has problems at long range, so when you are in a gunfight and don’t have enough options to operate your primary weapon, you will need Shooting vest equipped, so you can switch to the Kar98k and finish them off with a quick headshot. The Gunner Vest also has the added benefit of increasing your reload speed — useful when using an LMG — and ensuring you spawn with maximum ammo.

When it comes to throwables, Flash Grenade is always reliable and because it can be detonated Sticky pomegranate faster than Frag in hectic situations, we decided to put it in the Lethal slot. Trophy system is always a good choice as it destroys all incoming throwable objects, preferably placed at a target.

Many gloves are suitable here, but we decided to operate Quick Grip Gloves because it increases weapon swap speed by at least 40%, which is a huge facilitate when switching from a bulky LMG to a sniper rifle. Then comes Trail shoes which escalate your movement speed, although Tactical Pads, Stalker Boots, Covert Sneakers, AND Light shoes are a good option, depending on your preference.

At the end, EOD Filling protects against explosives, but the Tac Mask is also an option if you prefer protection against paralysis, flashbangs, and the like.
