The Kastov 545 acts as theintermediary between the Kastov 762 and the Kastov 74-U, maintaining thehigh rangeof its predecessor but also adopting afaster fire rate– providing abalance of bothspeed and range. Stats-wise, the Kastov 545 is quite similar to theLachmann-556, which is the same weapon needed to unlock theLachmann Sub. However, the Kastov 545 beats the Lachmann-556 in reload speed – but falls short in the rate of fire.

Unlocking The Kastov 545
The Kastov 545 is the second available Assault Rifle in theKastovia Weapon Platform, meaning it cannot be unlocked via traditional means. Instead, you will need tounlock the Kastov 762upon reachingLevel 23, then progress toWeapon Level 11tounlock the Kastov 545. Leveling up your weapons is a fairly simple task, as you generally acquire Weapon XP through completing in-game tasks. However, the best way to level up your desired weapon is to gain eliminations, and players who gain more eliminations tend to acquire more Weapon XP during their games.

Tracker & Scavenger
Fast Hands
For your first Base Perk, consider choosingTrackertoreveal enemyfootprint trails,thus making it easier to track your opponent’s whereabouts. Double Time, while good, should be skipped because you are already offered quite a bit of mobility with this class.Scavengeris a great second perk option, ensuring younever run out of ammo foryour primary weapon.Fast Handsis always the go-to bonus perk for most, and it is highly recommended forimproving the reload speedof extended magazine attachments. Lastly, consider choosingQuick Fixtoquickly regenerate healthafter gaining eliminations.
When it comes to your Warzone 2 Kastov 545 loadout, go ahead and equip one of two Perk Packages.Specteris our first recommendation, which allows you to make use ofTracker and Ghost.Weapon Specialistis the second, for it allows you totake another primary weaponas your secondary – though youcouldpurchase one from the Buy Station.
Explosive Secondary
Because we have chosenScavengeras a base perk for this loadout, you will not need to rely on a swap-to weapon, especially when the Kastov 545 performs well both up close and from afar. Therefore, you have room to carry aLauncherto take down those pesky enemy UAVs. ThePILA and the JOKRare the two best options, as they are capable oflocking onto enemy killstreaks.
For Warzone 2 however, consider choosing a weapon from theSniper Categoryfor long-range engagements.TheVictus XMRandtheMCPR-300boast the highest damage level of all Sniper Rifles, yettheSignal 50has the unique benefit of chaining multiple hits on opponents.
