Snipe enemies — best RPK loadout with JAK Cataclysm in Warzone

The JAK Cataclysm transforms the RPK into a potent semi-automatic sniper rifle, capable of achieving two-shot kills at impressive distances.

This conversion kit significantly enhances the RPK’s damage output and range, making it a compelling option for snipers. However, these upgrades come at the cost of reduced fire rate and slower aim down sight (ADS) speed.

To optimize the RPK with the JAK Cataclysm for medium to long range combat, this loadout focuses on improving range, recoil control, and handling.

Start off with the Sonic Suppressor L. This muzzle increases bullet velocity and damage range, and keeps you off the radar when firing.

Select the Bruen Pivotal Vertical Grip in the underbarrel slot, which helps manage gun kick, vertical recoil, and aiming idle sway while strengthening firing aim stability.

To further improve gun kick and recoil control, pick the Demo-X2 Grip.

For swift target acquisition, choose the SL Razorhawk Laser Light to substantially boost ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.

Replace the laser attachment with either the JAK Glassless Optic or JAK NRG-IV Optic if the built-in optic from the JAK Cataclysm isn’t to your liking.
