The AK-74u in BO1 had only the grenade launcher, but it was still innovative and unique for it's class. That's the problem with Cold War. It has nothing unique to it. No grenade launcher, no masterkey, no Flamethrower, no nothing. It's just boring tryhard attachments. Even Modern Warfare(that's more sweaty than Cold War) has unique attachments like ammo conversion kits.
BOCW's focuses too much on competitive and not enough on actual fun. Remember how you could put the wonky looking scope on your Enfield back in BO1? Now you can do that with every primary. Same could be said with several other guns.
The AKS-74u is officially a PDW and the definition of a PDW is: A class of compact, selective fire, magazine-fed, submachine gun-like firearms. Most PDWs fire a small-caliber (less than 6 millimetres or 0.24 inches), high-velocity centerfire bottleneck cartridge resembling a scaled-down intermediate rifle cartridge, essentially making them an "in-between" hybrid between a submachine gun and a compact rifle.
@@LilPaycheck with a TTK of 258ms I’d say it’s pretty OP. Also explains why basically everybody uses it and it has such little recoil it can beam people at range. Nothing not OP about it might as well put it in the assault rifle class
If you're on mouse and keyboard I absolutely recommend running the Task Force barrel on the AK74u. It's much easier to control recoil on a mouse and really only takes a bit of practice. It makes the gun's TTK feel more consistent going from close to midrange by now only needing to land 2 headshots.
Question: why not go for the best silencer for that 7% recoil reduction and also the spetsnaz grip? I fail to understand why the cons aren't heavily outweighed by the pros that those attachments bring. If you want my honest opinion tho, drop the silencer and go for the compensator. That recoil reduction allows you to melt at any range and keeps your ranged damage output high.
Theres a setup with barely any recoil id like to hear the pros and cons on. Kgb muzzle/vdv barrel/ speznaz grip/ the last 60rd magazine/ the last rear grip. Ive been running it all day and would like to hear the stats and side by sides. Appreciate what you do! Try it out fellas!
@@potte2314 for sure both the MAC-10 and AK-74u are lethal on close range maps like Nuketown. Just cause one is more popular doesn't change that they both have insane TTK's, just matters who pulls the trigger first.
Because the recoil it usually adds is disgusting he goes over how much recoil it adds and if it's worth it usually it isn't besides hardcore. If it works for you that's great though I just can't stand the recoil personally.
@@malazan6004 i regret having skipped this game and not buying it earlier. it's free this month and i just played the mp for the first time a few days ago/a week ago.
The Task force is really good on the 74u. The extra headshot damage is just a bonus, the 50% added range and the extra bullet velocity is why you run Task Force barrel. By combining that barrel with a compensator and a grip (either standard, speed or agent) you get very controllable recoil. It's not going to be as accurate as without the barrel, but within SMG ranges the Task Force makes the gun a lot more effective. There's a reason why people in competitive use Task Force on their 74u. Granted the range barrel doesn't have as many downsides and since the bullet velocity is already good enough on the 74u the 25% range barrel is quite good too. But for competitive that 5% reduction to sprinting speed is an absolute no-no. You'll be too slow for rotations in respawn and too slow for rushes in SnD. Generally I'd stay away from the VDV barrel because the reduction to ADS movement speed is really bad for an SMG.
I feel you. I know Ace is pretty partial to low zoom RDS optics, but for ARs and Tac rifles, I like a zoom sight. For SMGs, I like running no optics, since it gives me an extra attachment slot and I’m only using them up close anyway, so I like having a clear sight picture with no zoom. But I generally run optics on everything else.
You can usually trade something like extra magazine for optics on his builds I have noticed. That's the issue with optics it takes up a slot and usually extra ammo is what I'll sacrifice first instead of ads\sprint out fire or recoil.
Ace I really think you should give the task force barrel a go, the extra damage range and bullet velocity are quite helpful and the recoil is still really manageable and predictable paired with the speed grip. That + skeleton stock, 40 round mags, and one of the QuickDraw grips makes this gun impeccable
Ace, my man, I think you should put in the range and velocity benefits the Task Force barrels give when you talk about them. for something like the 74u, which needs any buff to that initial range it can get, a 50% increase to it and the huge velocity buff on top of it makes the gun's main strengths way stronger and worth it to play around
I run this gun with nothing but speed and Mobility attachments. And i use it on nuketown and the 3v3 maps. Its ridiculous how good it is. I dont worry about the recoil because gunfights on these small maps are so close that the recoil wont affect your aim. But the POWER and ability to rush around with it feels awesom
@@TheXclusiveAce Yes.👍🏻 I noticed.😁 Thank you.👍🏻👍🏻 ... My comment was just a friendly reminder of the content "I" prefer. >> Thanks again for another GREAT video.❤️👍🏻
Was waiting so long for this gun guide thanks Ace, your friend Whosimmortal made a video about Best Season 1 class setups and ever since I've been using the Ak-74U
The AK74u is my rushing gun for when i want to be fast and the AK47 is my holding down an objective gun when I'm in a sweaty lobby. Otherwise, i do like using other guns to rank them up to max. I also prefer either semi auto tactical rifles over the burst as i find it more rewarding as i feel it takes more skill to use.
My barrel selection is based off of my connection to the lobby. If I’m high ping I’ll use a barrel with faster bullet velocity. If I have a good ping, I’ll use a damage range barrel.
The VDV barrel, GRU Suppressor and 40 or 50 round fast mag the AK-74u looks like the AS VAL. Since Cold War takes place during the 80's the AS VAL didn't exist yet.
I'm always scared of using the gru elastic wrap because I'm not sure about trading 5% sprint out time for 5% ads time when I could get 25% ads with only a 10% sprint out penalty on the handle before it.
I'm cool with how the Ak 74u is in general. I think that it shouldn't have a bullet velocity of 500, make it no more than 325 and the gun will be a great close range smg. The Milano should have the best bullet velocity imo, it can have either a 400 or 500 mps.
Lol, the 74 shouldn’t even be listed as a sub it’s literally shooting a rifle round, and it would make no sense for the 74 to have a lower bullet velocity then a Milano that takes handgun rounds.. Lmaoo
I wonder if you could kit it with the task force barrel to mitigate some of the recoil and make it useable. Maybe the 2 shot headshot could actually be useful up close to delete people instantly ..

Ace, not sure if you read comments but have you ever considered covering the comp scene? For instance looking at the top sub players AK74u and putting your two cents on whether or not their attachments are reasonable. Just a thought, I know it’s hard to keep up with GAs.
lol that lightning bolt pattern reminds me of the Flatline in Apex, where the recoil pulls up to the left however midway it pulls to the right and makes a half-circle before pulling back to the left.
I prefer this gun over the mac 10. I like the Mac 10 alot, and it is a super great gun, but this gun works perfectly for my style of play. I used M16/74u in WZ and I been having hella success against the DMR.
Ace! Thanks for the content! Been subbed since ww2. Great info thanks. My favorite weapon in this game for sure. Quick question. I see you have ghost and a suppressor on that class... isn't that a little redundant?
@@TheXclusiveAce thanks for the quick response man. Easily the best content creator for cod. Any chance you could tell me why? I was under the impression ghost took you off the radar as long as you aren't camping, and the suppressor stops you from being on the radar when shooting
Ghost keeps you off radar from Spy Planes, Suppressor keeps you off while firing. If you have Ghost but no suppressor, the enemy will still see you on the mini map every time a Spy Plane sweeps; If you have a suppressor and no Ghost, Spy Planes won't reveal you as long as you're moving but every time you fire your gun, you'll appear on the radar; Having both means you'll only ever appear on the radar for Field Mics (only shows you to one enemy player) or HARPs when they don't bug out.
Thanks for explaining dude. And you think it's worth the minus damage range? I've found in this game and ww2 my guns feel so much less powerful with suppressors on. More accurate though, but that might just be in my head
Love the content... obviously you are the best. I recently moved to the 74u as I already maxed the Mac 10. Personally....I prefer the mini Uzi...but am still letting the mini AK grow on me.
It really bothers me that the gunsmith took a step backwards this year. There seems to be less attachments that noticeably impact gameplay in this game and I feel that we were much better off with attachment selection in the last game
personally I think the gunsmith took a step forward, because of the exact mesurments of all of the penalties or benefits, and in modern warfare, all you did was pick the biggest barrel with a suppressor, extended mag, ads grip, and a no stock or under barrel. Now, the gunsmith can have more variety with the gunfighter wildcard and with all of the new stuff like spotlights and all that I think the detail was better but I do agree that it is kinda boring that all guns have the same types of attachments.
I feel like you're not really appreciating the range increase that the task force barrel gives. It's not worth the recoil on some guns but for the 74u especially, where it's so important to stretch out that 4SK range, I think it's by far the best barrel. With a Grip & Compensator, the recoil is still really easy to control.
Exactly that's the barrel I'm waiting to unlock, I think that's the barrel that changes the gun completely. Mac10 is my favorite smg so far. I think the reason he does this is because he doesn't want to change the meta, but still give useful information.
I used to use this gun all the time, but now I feel like it’s had a nerf behind the scenes and Treyarch hasn’t told use about, because now compared to before, I feel at a disadvantage using this gun in a lot of situations compared to before I felt like i had the advantage. Unless it’s the SBMM or real time effectiveness patent taking over and nerfing me, the gun has been nerfed. I can’t use it anymore, either the SBMM knows I dominate with it so it fucks with my damage and health, or the gun just isn’t effective anymore, personally I think it’s the former. I used this for a lot of my time playing the game and was dominating, then I started to not be as good or effective, until I changed weapon, then I started doing well again, so that says to me that SBMM has decided I’m too good with the 74U and I’m gonna be nerfed anytime I use, so I’m better off just not trying.
I'm surprised you waited so long to do this one. I knew this was your favorite smg from other videos you made and was waiting for this. Tbh the 74u is already my favorite gun and I use the same classes you do lol. Except I like perk greed so I can be both aggressive and stealthy with ghost and ninja
Only just started using this gun with a suppressor and I love it (tried it without a suppressor and I didn’t like it, for some reason this is the only gun I feel that you NEED to use a suppressor but just my opinion)
@@TheXclusiveAce oh wow very interesting! I never knew that and have always prioritised the stock section as one of my 5 attachments to Improve sprint to fire time, so is it actually minus 100ms for the real sprint to fire time in game than what it says in the gunsmith? Is that how to work out the correct accurate sprint to fire time? Thanks very much.
Imo the ak74u needs to be in line with the other smgs or at least buff the other smgs, because ak74u has the best bullet velocity out of all the smg's. It either needs a velocity nerf or buff the other smg bullet velocities
One day the developers, or whomever tf makes this decision, will finally understand that the AKs 74u is a rifle, maybe a carbine, and thats when i shall make my return to the series
@@ljf8784 it may be yes. One of the stupidest no?? But you know what i find stupid?? Those who cant seem to understand sarcasm. Tho i really dont play the game anymore, that part is true lol

Love the content... obviously you are the best. I recently moved to the 74u as I already maxed the Mac 10. Personally....I prefer the mini Uzi...but am still letting the mini AK grow on me.
This man ace gives the wackiest class setups😭😂
What's bad with them?
@@Olinke he said wackiest not wackest but I'm not sure what he means
Nobody noticed bullet volcity compared to bullet velocity
It really bothers me that the gunsmith took a step backwards this year. There seems to be less attachments that noticeably impact gameplay in this game and I feel that we were much better off with attachment selection in the last game
Yup
At least the penalties isn’t always “- ads speed”
personally I think the gunsmith took a step forward, because of the exact mesurments of all of the penalties or benefits, and in modern warfare, all you did was pick the biggest barrel with a suppressor, extended mag, ads grip, and a no stock or under barrel. Now, the gunsmith can have more variety with the gunfighter wildcard and with all of the new stuff like spotlights and all that I think the detail was better but I do agree that it is kinda boring that all guns have the same types of attachments.
Guns a beast, also my go-to when lobbies get sweaty
I love the iron sights for this and the AK47 so it let's me use a extra attachment!
I feel like you're not really appreciating the range increase that the task force barrel gives. It's not worth the recoil on some guns but for the 74u especially, where it's so important to stretch out that 4SK range, I think it's by far the best barrel. With a Grip & Compensator, the recoil is still really easy to control.
Exactly that's the barrel I'm waiting to unlock, I think that's the barrel that changes the gun completely. Mac10 is my favorite smg so far. I think the reason he does this is because he doesn't want to change the meta, but still give useful information.
What is the bullet velocity and damage range if you do a five attachment gun without the barrel?
Task force barrel is actually great for boosting range
I used to use this gun all the time, but now I feel like it’s had a nerf behind the scenes and Treyarch hasn’t told use about, because now compared to before, I feel at a disadvantage using this gun in a lot of situations compared to before I felt like i had the advantage. Unless it’s the SBMM or real time effectiveness patent taking over and nerfing me, the gun has been nerfed. I can’t use it anymore, either the SBMM knows I dominate with it so it fucks with my damage and health, or the gun just isn’t effective anymore, personally I think it’s the former. I used this for a lot of my time playing the game and was dominating, then I started to not be as good or effective, until I changed weapon, then I started doing well again, so that says to me that SBMM has decided I’m too good with the 74U and I’m gonna be nerfed anytime I use, so I’m better off just not trying.
I'm surprised you waited so long to do this one. I knew this was your favorite smg from other videos you made and was waiting for this. Tbh the 74u is already my favorite gun and I use the same classes you do lol. Except I like perk greed so I can be both aggressive and stealthy with ghost and ninja
He uses perk green in his main Loadout and shows it first he only shows max attachment as a secondary.
can you do a video seeing if the extra damage barrels do the same things on warzone as they do on cold war
I really don’t mind the AK-74u. It’s my second favorite SMG in the game which has a solid bullet velocity, and outstanding TTK up close.
Isnt the task force still worth it without the dmg increase Ace?
Only just started using this gun with a suppressor and I love it (tried it without a suppressor and I didn’t like it, for some reason this is the only gun I feel that you NEED to use a suppressor but just my opinion)
Core modes really doesn't give me a challenge. Hard core is better. AKS-74u is my go-to SMG. It's a beast either way and how you set it up
Foreskeenpepe gotta love the usernames
When you jump, is that sprint to fire speed, or ADS being accounted for?
Probably stfs
ads, this other dude is being a shitter or had a stroke while typing
@@ryanryan747 nah mate it's sprint to fire time
Wish you could get the iron sight variant in WZ
Probably a little late for this but the in-game stats state the bullet velocity say it's like 397 🤷 correct me please if I am wrong 😁
i believe cause it got nerfed somewhere in its life cycle for cold snore
You seem to always upload the same gun I’m working on for the day
What does experienced sprint out time mean? So the stats it shows for sprint to fire time isn’t accurate?
Correct. The stated sprintout time is one of the few stated stats in the game that's inaccurate.
@@TheXclusiveAce oh wow very interesting! I never knew that and have always prioritised the stock section as one of my 5 attachments to Improve sprint to fire time, so is it actually minus 100ms for the real sprint to fire time in game than what it says in the gunsmith? Is that how to work out the correct accurate sprint to fire time? Thanks very much.
Imo the ak74u needs to be in line with the other smgs or at least buff the other smgs, because ak74u has the best bullet velocity out of all the smg's. It either needs a velocity nerf or buff the other smg bullet velocities
The bad range is what keeps it in check
The bullet velocity though, makes it better for moving targets, the other smg's are ass when it comes to moving targets
It's an AR... it fires either 7.62 or 5.54 rounds. They mislabeled this gun.
Thanks for making this video. I really enjoyed the deep dive into the gun’s stats and comparison to other SMGs. Dropped a sub!
Anyone know if you can save battlepass tier skip tokens for future passes, or does it only work for the current pass?
One day the developers, or whomever tf makes this decision, will finally understand that the AKs 74u is a rifle, maybe a carbine, and thats when i shall make my return to the series
So you don’t play the game just because one of the guns is in the wrong category? Seems a bit pedantic and stupid to me
@@ljf8784 it may be yes. One of the stupidest no?? But you know what i find stupid?? Those who cant seem to understand sarcasm. Tho i really dont play the game anymore, that part is true lol
Thanks for this.
Ksp next?
