📋 About This Mod
The AR-74 Kastov is a modern iteration of the Old Earth AK-74, redesigned to retain the rugged durability of the Kalashnikov while incorporating 22nd-century advancements in firepower and handling. Favored for its robustness and raw stopping power, the Kastov is ideal for Helldivers and SEAF personnel who require a weapon capable of withstanding harsh conditions and delivering substantial force. Chambered in the heavier 7. 62x39mm Kastovia rounds, this rifle excels in reliability and close-quarters impact, maintaining high effectiveness even in extreme weather.
