AK-74u

The is a weapon appearing as a submachine gun in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, Call of Duty Online, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and as an assault rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. It is also found in the game files of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
==Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare Remastered==
===Campaign===
It is seen used by the Ultranationalists, the Middle Eastern OpFor, and Nikolai once he is rescued in "Blackout" and during the subsequent level, "Hunted". The movement speed when aiming down the sights is slower than in multiplayer, making it act more like an assault rifle than a submachine gun.
In the level "F.N.G." it is seen with a GP-25 Grenade Launcher attachment, however, it cannot be used and is not seen again in the game.
===Multiplayer===
The AK-74u can be customized with a Red Dot Sight, Silencer, or ACOG Scope. The AK-74u is fairly similar to the MP5, in that both weapons have the same damage, rate of fire and range. It is tied with the MP5 in terms of damage output (40–20, or 3-5 hits to kill), has less recoil despite the visual kick, and much better wall penetration at the cost of more idle sway and lower hip fire accuracy when using a Red Dot Sight or Silencer (same as an assault rifle).
The AK-74u has a moderate recoil and a slower than average center speed. Reload speeds are nominally slightly slower than average, but the AK-74u benefits greatly from reload cancelling.
The AK-74u bears many similarities to weapons in the assault rifle class. It is the only submachine gun with noticeable sway (four degrees, and it sways quickly, the same amount and speed as the AK-47), and it also has the same wall penetration and the higher zoom of assault rifles. Its hip fire accuracy is reduced to that of an assault rifle when equipped with a Red Dot Sight or Silencer. It also has the same mobility as an assault rifle. The AK-74u is only similar to other SMGs in its movement speed while aiming down the sight, its short range, and hip-fire accuracy.
===Old School Mode===
The AK-74u appears in Old School Mode with 30 rounds in the magazine and 60 rounds of reserve ammunition.
*Ambush - Found with a Silencer in the alley in front of the United States Marine Corps spawn at the southern half of the map, near Martyrdom.
*Crossfire - Found with a Red Dot Sight to the west of the two-storey destroyed building, near the stairs, at the south-eastern corner of the map.
===Weapon Attachments===
*Red Dot Sight
*Silencer
*ACOG Scope
*Grenade Launcher (GP-25) - Unusable, seen in F.N.G. only.

The AK-74u was cut from game; however, the texture and menu icons still remain in the game files.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops==
The AK74u returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops; however, the name has no hyphen like its Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare counterpart. It has a longer handguard and lacks a stock. Its finish is also different from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, including the default magazine; the metal has more shine and is silver-gray, compared to black-gray in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
===Campaign===
The AK74u appears in the missions "Crash Site", "Rebirth", and "Redemption". It is used commonly by the Spetsnaz forces and can be found with varying attachments.
===Multiplayer===
The AK74u is available for purchase upon reaching Level 17, and costs .
At any range shy of 18.75 meters, the AK74u will deal 35 damage, netting a three shot kill. Damage decreases linearly until 25 meters. At any range beyond 25 meters, the AK74u will deal twenty damage per bullet, needing five shots to kill. The AK74u has a three shot kill range of nineteen meters, and a four shot kill range of 23 meters. The AK74u deals forty percent extra damage on a headshot. This won't reduce the number of shots needed to kill at close range, but it can be beneficial at ranges where the AK74u is dealing less than its maximum damage. In Hardcore, the AK74u will reliably net one shot kills until about 22 meters. The AK74u has low penetration power.
The AK74u fires fully automatically, firing at a rate of 750 RPM.
The AK74u has recoil values of 65 to the left, right, and upwards, with a recoil value of 20 downwards. The AK74u has a centerspeed value of 1600. On console, the AK74u has the auto-aim range of an Assault Rifle. The Kiparis shares this trait.
The AK74u will allow the user to move at 100% of the base speed, or strafe at 80% of the base movement speed. The AK74u can aim down the sight in 200 milliseconds, and the hip-fire spread is small. The AK74u's reload animation is 2.1 seconds long, or 2.8 seconds long on an empty magazine. In either case, the user can perform a Reload Cancel after 1.5 seconds.
The AK74u has a magazine capacity of thirty rounds, and a starting ammo loadout of 120 rounds.
The AK74u has an unusual attachment selection. In addition to having all standard SMG attachments available to it, the AK74u also has access to Dual Mags and the Grenade Launcher, with the latter using the unique Tishina model. All attachments work as expected on the AK74u, with no significant oddities to note.
As a result of a patch, the Grip attachment no longer gives an additional 200 centerspeed to the AK74u, with it instead only increasing the centerspeed by 100. This causes the AK74u with a Grip to have 1700 centerspeed instead of the original 1800 centerspeed.

===Zombies===
The AK74u is available off the wall for 1200 points on every Zombies map, excluding the classic maps and Dead Ops Arcade. It has low recoil, a moderate fire rate, a 20-round magazine with 160 reserve rounds and high damage (one-hit-headshot until round 5). It is renowned for its power, but a low magazine and somewhat slow reload means every bullet counts in the heat of battle. It makes a great weapon for survival early on, as it holds a lot of ammo in reserve and deals great damage. Speed Cola is recommended in later rounds, as players will constantly reload the small magazines.
When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the AK74u will become the AK74fu2, with double its magazine size and gets 280 extra rounds, and an added Red Dot Sight with a unique randomized reticule. The AK74fu2's one-hit-headshot potential lasts until round 11.
The AK74fu2 is arguably one of the best Pack-A-Punched guns available off the wall, alongside the M16, MP40 and the Stakeout. An advantage it has over guns exclusive to the Mystery Box is that ammo can be bought off the wall. The Pack-A-Punched MP40 does deal more maximum damage than the AK74fu2, but the AK74fu2 has more ammo, as well as having a higher base damage. However, the M16 or Stakeout are far better choices for guns on the wall, as they have better/more features than the AK74fu2. However, the AK74fu2 has more ammo and better damage than the M16 and is equipped with a Red Dot Sight and builds points much more effectively than the Stakeout and is lighter than the M16.
On Moon, the AK74u is easily the best gun to Pack-a-Punch as its ammo can be hacked and made available for only 600 points. That coupled with its convenient location on the moonscape make it a fantastic point-builder up to about round 28, or even beyond if the full easter egg has been completed.

==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3==
The AK-74u returns in Modern Warfare 3, exclusive to the Campaign and Spec Ops. 
===Campaign===
The AK-74u is a weapon used by the Russian Military, which can be found in the missions "Turbulence", "Bag and Drag", "Iron Lady", "Eye of the Storm", and "Stronghold". It is very similar to the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare variant in the general aspect with stats and iron sights akin to its older iteration, but is more modernized, with a metallic and grey finish, rails on the receiver and handguard, a folded stock and black magazines. It is not available in multiplayer nor Survival Mode.
===Special Ops===
It can be found in several Special Ops missions, such as "Stay Sharp", "Milehigh Jack" and "Hostage Taker".

==Call of Duty: Black Ops II==
The AK74u returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops II in the campaign and Zombies.
===Campaign===
The AK74u is available in the customizable loadout. Unlike in Call of Duty: Black Ops, this weapon cannot be equipped with an ACOG Scope or a Grenade Launcher.
===Attachments===
*Reflex Sight
*Suppressor
*Long Barrel
*Extended Clip
*Fast Mag
*Fore Grip
*Rapid Fire
===Zombies===
It can be found on the left wall of the shack in the Power Plant on TranZit for 1200 points, in the truck in the middle of Nuketown Zombies, outside on the most bottom accessible floor in the building containing the power switch in Die Rise, in the gunsmith shop in Buried, and near Generator 3 in Origins. Note that in Buried someone will pick up its chalk, which they can then place strategically in the chalk outlines scattered across the map. It performs nearly identically to its Call of Duty: Black Ops counterpart and works well on all maps.
In Die Rise and Buried, it is not advised to acquire the AK74u, due to the fact that there are weapons that can serve its purpose better, such as the PDW-57 and the AN-94. These weapons can also be placed in the very same location that can be placed with the AK74u, along with the ability to Pack-A-Punch them more than once.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops III==
===Multiplayer===
The AK-74u was added to Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer on May 23, 2017, only available through the Black Markethttps://www.charlieintel.com/call-of-duty/ak74u-m1911-new-limited-edition-camo-now-live-black-ops-3-black-market-42948/. It has an unpainted wooden handguard similar in length to the Modern Warfare Remastered version.
===Zombies===
On July 10th, 2017, the AK-74u was added along with the 1911 to the remastered versions of Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt, Shi No Numa, Kino der Toten, Ascension, Shangri-La, Moon and Origins. It can be found in the Mystery Box, where it comes with a Reflex sight and Laser sight by default but only on the maps Kino der Toten, Ascension, Shangri-La and Moon. On Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa and Origins, the AK-74u does not come with any attachments out of the box. It now has a 30-round magazine by default, unlike in previous Zombies iterations.
When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, the AK-74u will once again become the AK74fu2, with 50 bullets in the magazine and 400 in reserve. Along with the ability to be able to be placed into the Pack-a-Punch Machine multiple times and receive upgrades like any other weapon in Black Ops III Zombies, it is a solid weapon to have.
Its silhouette also makes an appearance on the icons for the Wall Power and Secret Shopper GobbleGums.

==Call of Duty: Mobile==
The AK-74u returns in Call of Duty: Mobile as the RUS-79U.
===Multiplayer===
It is the starting SMG for any player, alongside the M4, RPD, BY15, and DL Q33. 
The RUS-79U is a rather low damage-per-bullet weapon, however, at 9 meters, it is able to achieve a four-hit-kill consistently to the entire body. Past 9 meters, it is a relatively consistent five-hit-kill weapon, if the player is able to hit two chest shots or two headshots, the weapon will retain its four-hit-kill ability up to 18 meters. Past 18 meters, the weapon is a consistent six-hit-kill, as long as every shot hit the entire upper body, or only a few shots hit the legs. Similarly, at 32 meters, the weapon will be a consistent seven-hit-kill, as long as every shot hit the upper body and only a few shots hit the legs. Overall, range is respectable for the SMG class, considering its fire rate. Monolithic Suppressor is a great choice on the RUS if the players desire to increase range on the weapon. 
Magazine has 30 rounds, average for class. It can be modified with magazine attachments, which will either bumps up your magazine size to 38 or 50 rounds, with slight mobility penalties. The 38 Round Fast Mag attachment improves your reload speed by 18% (compared to Sleight of Hand's 15%), with a 6% ADS speed reduction and slightly slower movement speed. 
Handling is one of the best in class, tied with the KSP 45 and MAC-10 with having the best base mobility in class. Movement speed is 5.01 m/s, with aim walking movement speed at 3.91 m/s. High mobility builds are recommended if players desire a more aggressive approach, however, builds that focus on bettering accuracy and range are also recommended, making the RUS a highly versatile weapon. 
Sprint-to-fire time is 0.13s, above average for class. hip fire spread however, is at 235, with initial spread of 135, 2nd widest hip spread in class. Hip fire can be a good method against ambushing enemies; however, it's recommended using either a Merc Foregrip or a laser attachment to tighten up the spread. 
Aim Down Sight time is 220 milliseconds, tied with Cordite, Pharo, PP-19 Bison, average for class. Combine with a highly viable set of attachments, the RUS can be built in multiple different ways to fit players' style. Hit flinch is 0.75, tied with HG 40 for the 2nd lowest in class. With low flinch, No Stock is a great attachment on the RUS for increasing mobility and agility without sacrificing too much recoil and accuracy. 
Recoil is moderate to low. The RUS, as a starting weapon, is highly controllable, with a various number of attachments which helps mitigating recoil even better. The accuracy can somewhat be compromised due to the low recoil; however, players can also improve the accuracy with minimal recoil penalties. 
Bullet Spread Accuracy is average at 24. with initial spread of 16, somewhat below average for class. However, due to the RUS' consistent damage output, it is fine sacrificing a little amount of accuracy for recoil control. However, if the player desire better performance over range, builds that focus on accuracy are more recommended. 
Iron sights are clear and easy to use; using an optical attachment is not really needed. 
===Battle Royale===
The gun has mediocre damage but also has good rate of fire and good hipfire accuracy.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War==
The AK-74u returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It is visually similar to its appearance in Black Ops III, with an added folding stock and Bakelite magazine.
===Overview===
====Campaign====
The AK-74u is used by Soviet Armed Forces and Spetsnaz soldiers through the campaign, KGB officers in "Desperate Measures", and Tropas soldiers in "End of the Line". It first appears in "Nowhere Left to Run", where it's among the three weapons that can be selected in the trunk of the car. Russell Adler wields an AK-74u in "Desperate Measures" when assaulting the KGB's archive bunker.
====Zombies====
The AK-74u is available in the Zombies map Die Maschine, and can be used as a starting weapon, or acquired as a wall weapon for 2250 points, and from the Mystery Box for 950 points. If acquired from the wall, the AK-74u acts as a Tier 2 weapon with three randomized Attachments.
When Pack-a-Punched, the weapon becomes the AK-74NOFU2.

==Trivia==
===Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare===
*The serial number on the AK-74u is "R060479".
*In the campaign, the AK-74u seems to have increased zoom while aiming down the sights. However, this does not occur in multiplayer.
*The AK-74u has two Russian Izhevsk Arsenal "arrow in triangle" logos on the weapon; one on the bottom of the magazine and one on the front trunnion.
===Call of Duty: Black Ops===
*When the grenade launcher is equipped, the front of the AK-74u is tilted upwards and the sights become misaligned.
*The pick-up icon for the AK-74u has a visible stock folded underneath the weapon, but it does not appear on the weapon model.
*An AK-74u can be found in the campaign with all attachments on it. This AK-74u cannot be picked up just like the AK-47 version.
*The Pack-a-Punched variant of the AK-74u, AK74fu2, can be read as "AK-74 F U 2", or "AK-74 Fuck You Too".
*In the early stages of the game, the AK-74u's Create-a-Class image looked like the Call of Duty 4 model.
*In the Zombies map "Five", two unobtainable AK-74us can be seen on a rack.
*Before a hotfix, the AK-74u gained 200 centerspeed with the Grip. That was nerfed to 100.
*The extended mag has the Bulgarian Kazanlak Arsenal "Circle 10" logo on it.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3===
*There is a hidden AK-74u and a Modern Warfare 2 version USP .45 in the Jeep behind the player at the beginning of the Special Ops mission "Stay Sharp".
**If the player picks either of them up, Truck will say "Ahh, someone brought their own toys to the party".
*It has a Create-a-Class picture, which implies it was originally planned to appear in multiplayer. However, developer comments have stated that there was no more storage in the game's multiplayer RAM.
*In the Nintendo Wii version, the Red Dot Sight does not appear.
*The serial number on the AK-74u is "ECP750319".
*The AK-74u has the Russian Izhevsk Arsenal "arrow in triangle" logo.
===Call of Duty: Black Ops II===
*Equipping the Grip doesn't add anything to the weapon model.
===Call of Duty: Black Ops III===
*On the left side of the weapon, the word "Avtomat" (Automatic) can be seen.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered===
*The serial number on the AK-74u is "M121489" and has a manufacture date of 1979.
*The AK-74u has a faint Russian letter "П" meaning "Постоянная" (constant) on the rear sight notch. 
===Call of Duty: Mobile===
*Unlike the Call of Duty: Online model, the RUS' iron sight is misaligned
*The name "RUS-79U" is a reference to the year and country the weapon was constructed: 1979, in Russia. 
*The RUS-79U was originally called AKS-74U at its launch in 2019. The name was changed in an update in the middle of Season 3 on February 14, 2020, however the name is retained in Chinese version without the hyphen.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare===
*During the alpha stage of Modern Warfare, equipping the 5.45×39mm ammunition attachment on the AK-47 would change the HUD name to "AKS-74u". This is no longer the case in the final game.
===Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War===
*The Pack-a-Punched variant, the AK74NOFU2, can be read as "AK-74 NO F U 2", or "AK-74 No, Fuck You Too".
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II===
*In the campaign mode, the Kastov-74u have the magazine of the Kastov 545.
*The Kastov-74u's magazine in its image on the platform screen does not appear to match its normal appearance.
*With the Season Two content update on February 16, 2023, the Kastov-74u was given new animations when reloading with the "VLK Stockless" attachment.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III===
*Just like Modern Warfare II Campaign mode, the Kastov-74u has the magazine of the Kastov 545.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II & Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III===
*The serial number of Kastov-74u is 341207
