Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter game set in an open world where players have to fight off biomechanical robots using tons of different weapons. Talking about weapons, the Kalash AK-47 is one of the most common weapons in Atomic Heart; it has been an absolute fan favorite thanks to its incredible fire rate, serious damage, and impressive accuracy.
However, obtaining the Kalash AK-47 can be somewhat tricky, especially for beginners. Therefore, this detailed walkthrough shares in-depth details on how to get the highly sought-after weapon, Kalash AK-47, in Atomic Heart.
How to Get the Kalash AK-47 in Atomic Heart
In Atomic Heart, the process of obtaining a certain weapon is not as simple as picking it up from the ground, nor does it include a mere purchase from some in-game vendor. Instead, players have to find the blueprints of the concerned weapon and then craft the weapon using the very blueprints, and the Kalash AK-47 is no exception.
It is important to point out that players may not be able to track down the blueprints for AK-47 and get their hands on the weapon at the start of the game. They have to progress through the gameplay and reach the Vavilov Complex. As they get there, they will have to collect four canisters scattered throughout the complex.
The search for one of the canisters will take players to the Cold Lab room, where the chest containing the Kalash blueprints lies. But the chest is accessible only after players fill the pots with vegetation. As soon as players are done filling the canisters with plants, the chest will open, revealing the Kalash blueprints.
Kalash AK-47 Ammo and Upgrades
Finding medium ammo for Kalash AK-47 can be frustrating at the beginning of the game, but as the game proceeds, it becomes more common. Visit the Forester Village and find the Grocery Store there. Now, go inside the building that has the sign "3" outside to get the ammo.
After acquiring the blueprints and ammo for Kalash AK-47, players will need to craft the weapon by interacting with Nora. Crafting the rifle does not only require blueprints but also necessary materials. Those wanting to upgrade the weapon should consider attaching the Collimator attachment, which can be found in the Cold Lab of the Vavilov Complex. Although finding the blueprints and crafting the Kalash AK-47 does require some effort, the weapon is definitely worth it.
Atomic Heart is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
