RPK

:For similarly named weapons, see R3K, RPD and PKM.
The is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops==
===Campaign===
The RPK is found in the missions "Operation 40", "S.O.G.", "The Defector", "Victor Charlie", "Crash Site", "Payback", "Rebirth" and "Redemption". It is quite accurate, and deals significant damage, enough to gib enemies. It can be found with an ACOG sight, Drum Mag, Dual Mags, and an Infrared Scope.
===Multiplayer===
In multiplayer, the RPK is unlocked at level 6.
At any range, the RPK will deal forty damage per shot, needing three shots to kill. The RPK deals 56 damage on a headshot, allowing for a two shot kill with two consecutive headshots, or dealing up to 96 damage with a headshot-bodyshot combo, allowing the user to kill mildly injured enemies with two shots. The RPK has high penetration power.
The RPK fires fully automatically, with a rate of fire of 750 RPM.
The RPK has recoil values of 70 to the left and 70 to the right. The RPK has no downwards recoil value, and instead always kicks up with a value of 15 or 60 on every shot. The RPK has a centerspeed value of 1500.
The RPK allows users to move at 87.5% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 40% of the base movement speed. The RPK aims down the sight in 350 milliseconds, and the RPK's hip-fire accuracy is average. The RPK's reload animation is four seconds long, or 5.5 seconds long on an empty magazine. 
The RPK has a default magazine capacity of forty rounds, and a default starting ammo loadout of 160 rounds.
The RPK has a slightly expended attachment selection among LMGs. The RPK uses the Soviet design of Red Dot Sight, the PK-AV for its ACOG Scope, and the Soviet design for its Infrared Scope. All attachments aside from Dual Mags function as expected on the RPK. 
In addition to the standard assortment of LMG attachments, the RPK has access to Dual Mags. Dual Mags has a property unique to the RPK in that it does not grant two additional reserve magazines, and thus, it does not increase the starting ammo loadout on the RPK, whereas this effect happens on all other weapons that can equip Dual Mags.

The RPK can only be found in the Mystery Box and has a 100-round magazine with 400 spare ammunition. For the most part, it is quite similar to the HK21, however it has a higher rate of fire in exchange for a slightly smaller magazine and slightly lower damage. Its recoil also has been reduced compared to its multiplayer counterpart.
Speed Cola is necessary if the player chooses to keep this gun due to the slow reload time. Juggernog can be quite helpful when stuck in a corner with RPK's slow reload. Double Tap Root Beer (if the player can control the gun) is helpful but will increase recoil, and must be burst-fired for accuracy. Stamin-Up is also useful, due to low mobility.
When Pack-a-Punched, the RPK becomes the R115 Resonator. Its magazine capacity is bolstered to 125 per magazine with 500 extra rounds and becomes more powerful. A worthwhile primary upgrade, though the HK21 makes a better alternative upgrade. Having a light side weapon is recommended for quick getaways.

Black Ops Zombies - RPK Upgraded (R115 Resonator)
==Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified==
The RPK returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, using the same model as in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Two notable differences are that recoil has been reduced and magazine capacity has been increased to 45 rounds. The RPK acts as the middle power of the LMGs, as it has a higher magazine size than the Stoner63, but smaller than the M60. As well, it can fire faster than the M60, but slower than the Stoner63. A big advantage to the RPK is the early unlock of the weapon, allowing players to use this weapon at almost whatever time they desire.
Due to its low recoil, it is a good weapon to use at long range.
The RPK will also appear in Hostiles in some maps. It is recommended to use the weapon due to the large magazine size, the long range and rate of fire.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops III==
The RPK was added to Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s multiplayer on April 30th, 2018. It is identical in appearance to its Black Ops counterpart, except that it has a different handguard, charging handle, and stock.
===Multiplayer===
The RPK is available through Supply Drops only. Compared to the other light machine guns, its magazine capacity of 40 is low, although its reload speed is quicker albeit still slow compared to other weapon types. Its handling characteristics are similar to the rest of its class, with relatively low recoil and average rate of fire (noticeably slower than its Black Ops counterpart).

=== Zombies ===
The RPK was added to Zombies mode in an update released on May 23, 2018. The gun can only be obtained from the Mystery Box, appearing on The Giant, Der Eisendrache, Gorod Krovi and the remastered versions of Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt, Shi No Numa, Kino der Toten, Ascension, Shangri-La, Moon, and Origins. It automatically comes with a Reflex Sight. This version of the RPK deals noticeably more damage than its counterpart in Black Ops, but has a slower rate of fire.
When Pack-a-Punched, the RPK once again becomes the R115 Resonator. Like before, it retains its 125 round magazine, as well as its 500 rounds in reserve.

==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II & Modern Warfare III==
The RPK returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
The RPK is also available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III as part of the Modern Warfare II content carryover.
===Overview===
====Campaign====
The RPK is used by Al-Qatala in Kill or Capture, Dark Water and Countdown, and by the Las Almas Cartel in Cartel Protection.
====Zombies====
In Modern Warfare III, the RPK can be brought into Operation Deadbolt via Create-A-Class, at Common rarity and can be found at any rarity via the Mystery Box for 950 Essence. When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch Machine or with Aetherium Crystals, it becomes the Dark Reverberator.

==Trivia==
===Call of Duty: Black Ops===
*When a camouflage pattern is equipped on the RPK, the handguard does not change color, except when gold is applied, in which case the handguard turns black.
*Although the RPK uses a magazine, when firing the gun empty casings as well as belt clips are ejected, similar to the M60.
*On the Nintendo Wii version, the handguard is black unlike the usual bakelite guard.
*The RPK is the favorite weapon of Robert Englund.
*The Call of Duty: Black Ops Prima Official Strategy Guide confused the RPK with the RPG-7 in some sections.
*The Pack-a-Punched name, or "R115 Resonator", is a reference to Element 115.
*In Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies, the post from the front iron sight is missing.
*The RPK has the Russian GOST-R engraved on the receiver as well as Saiga written on the gun.
*The RPK has the Russian Izhevsk Arsenal logo with an arrow inside a triangle near the magazine floorplate, this can best be seen when using dual mags.
*When the RPK has no ammo and is fired, the carrying handle will lightly rock upwards once. This can be repeated if the user switches weapons and switches back to the RPK.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare===
*The AK-47 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has a blueprint called "RPK".
===Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0===
*The player can find the Caution Tape blueprint in the Mall in the map Vondel in the DMZ mode.
**However, the player would still need to extract the weapons' case from Al Mazrah in the DMZ mode to use the blueprint for multiplayer and other modes.
