🪖 Kalashnikov AK-74 — 5.45×39 Assault Rifle (Escape from Tarkov)

The AK-74 is a classic Kalashnikov-pattern 5.45×39 assault rifle in Escape from Tarkov. It balances reliability, simple modability, and potent 5.45 ballistics, making it a staple for many players who want a rugged rifle that performs well across mid-range engagements.

🔑 Core facts
Caliber: 5.45×39 mm

Fire modes: Semi-auto and full-auto (select-fire)

Typical role: Versatile infantry rifle for mid-range combat and budget-to-mid-tier PMC builds

Handling: Heavier and less ergonomic than modern Western AR platforms, but acceptable when outfitted with ergonomic parts

🎯 Performance overview
Recoil & controllability: AK-74 recoil pattern is punchy but predictable; manageable with a muzzle device, decent stock, and foregrip.

Range & ballistics: 5.45 rounds provide high muzzle velocity, good trajectory, and excellent fragmentation/flesh damage characteristics; some 5.45 AP rounds also offer strong penetration vs armor.

Durability: Mechanically simple and robust; parts are common and repairs are straightforward.

💣 Ammunition
High-penetration/armour-piercing: Use AP/BT/BP/7N-series rounds when engaging geared PMCs.

Balanced: Mid-tier 5.45 rounds give a mix of penetration and terminal effect for general-purpose raids.

Budget: Cheap FMJ or generic rounds work for scav runs and unarmoured targets.

🛠️ Modding potential
Barrels & muzzle devices: Standard AK options—compensators, flash hiders and suppressors—to control climb and sound signature.

Stocks: Upgrading to modern ergonomic or folding stocks improves handling and recoil control.

Handguards & rails: Widely supported—add rails, vertical/angled grips, and optics for improved ergonomics and aim.

Magazines: 30-round AK magazines are standard; extended drums and high-capacity options exist depending on variant.

⚖️ Strengths
Reliable and forgiving under adverse conditions.

Excellent ammunition variety in 5.45 line—can be tuned for either penetration or terminal effect.

Wide aftermarket support in-game for practical, performance-focused mods.

❌ Weaknesses
Lower base ergonomics and slower handling compared to many modern Western assault rifles.

Requires good ammo choices to consistently beat high-armor opponents.

Larger and heavier than dedicated CQB weapons; not ideal for tight indoor maps without suitable setup.

🎯 Best use cases & tactics
Mid-range engagements and open-structure maps where 5.45 ballistics and controllability shine.

Build for role: lightweight/fast variants for more mobile play, or heavier, stabilized variants with muzzle device and optics for accurate medium-range fire.

Prioritize AP 5.45 rounds against armored PMCs, and pair with a competent chest/headshot-focused playstyle to exploit 5.45 damage profile.
