The best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 loadouts require a bit of work to get into shape. This has the shortest range of the assault rifle, as it suffers from severe vertical recoil. While this makes anything beyond mid-range a nightmare to hit, the AK-24 can be a great close-range option. It lacks the speed of anything like the PP-29 SMG, but it still holds a decent punch in comparison. Oddly enough the AK-24 is rather effective while hip-firing, meaning you want to nestle yourself into capture points where there will be plenty of enemies running around. However, if you do find yourself aiming further afield, short bursts severely improve accuracy. Either way, considering the game#'s massive maps, you may want to equip Battlefield 2042 Sundance to quickly traverse those large open sections where you'll most certainly be outgunned.

The best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 loadouts are really about taming this erratic assault rifle. For those closer ranged builds, you'll want the Fusion Holo sight, either the Extended Mag or Drum Mag, the LS-1 Laser Sight, and the Warhawk Compensator. However, if you are hoping to transform this weapon into something more long range, then you'll need the Ghost Hybrid 1.25-2.5x, the High Power Extended Mag, either the BCG Light Grip if you are on the move or the ADR Bipod if you are setting up shop in a nice perch, and finally the Extended Barrel. Either of these options will vastly improve this rifle's performance, making it one of the best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 loadouts.

Lastly, to round out your best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 loadouts, you need the right tools. For your close range build, the Recoilless M5 can be used either as vehicle or player suppression. Since we are going on the offensive with this one, either the Frag Grenade or the Incendiary Grenade.  Depending on how good your accuracy is, you may want to pick up the M44 for close range encounters. However, when taking this long range you'' swap the M5 for the FXM-33 AA Missile along with an EMP Grenade for those irritating tanks. We'd go for the MP28 sidearm for this one, as the M44 has shocking range. 

That's everything you need to make up the best Battlefield 2042 AK-24 loadouts. Want to take a look at the game's entire arsenal? We've got a best Battlefield 2042 weapons list for you to check out.
