Warzone 2: The Best Kastov 545 Loadout

After weathering the nerf wave of season 5, the Kastov 545 has once again emerged as a popular assault rifle in Warzone 2. Recent statistics reveal that this Kastovia-based weapon has secured a position among the top 15 overall picks, earning its place in the esteemed A-Tier list.
