The Kilo 141 is a weapon with a mixed reputation in Modern Warfare and Warzone. While some players swear by it, others struggle to find the appeal, considering it a low-damage alternative to the M4A1, RAM-7, or M13. On the surface, the Kilo does do relatively low damage and has a slow rate of fire, but it has a few hidden traits that can make it very competitive in the right hands. It isn't for everyone, but players who try a good Kilo setup may find themselves hooked.
The Kilo's downsides are its relatively low fire rate and damage, but with attachments to mitigate recoil, it can compete with the Grau 5.56. The Grau is one of the strongest weapons in Warzone because of its low recoil, but the Kilo does have a slightly higher fire rate. Kilo setups that emphasize low recoil will easily push its accuracy up to match some of the strongest weapons in Modern Warfare and Warzone, and with that accounted for it can compete with the best.
Kilo 141 Attachments for Modern Warfare and Warzone
As an assault rifle, the Kilo 141 shares a lot of attachments with popular guns like the M4A1, but it does have a few unique strengths that others in its class lack. For one, it has not only 50- and 60-round magazines, but can also be equipped with a 100-round drum magazine, providing a huge advantage in the most prolonged gunfights. The Kilo has the standard array of optics, foregrips, grip tapes, and lasers. Optics are up to preference, but as usual Stippled Grip Tape and the Commando, Merc, or Ranger foregrips are always good choices.
As for barrels, the Singuard Arms 19.8" Prowler barrel provides the best range and accuracy for the Kilo, while the 16.6" SOCOM barrel is a bit more balanced and the integrated suppressor offers stealth. The FSS Close Quarters Stock boosts ADS speed, which is another one of the Kilo's downsides. For Warzone, the Monolithic suppressor remains one of the strongest attachments in Call of Duty builds.
Best Kilo 141 Setups for Modern Warfare and Warzone
In Warzone, the best Kilo builds take advantage of high ammo counts and controllable recoil. One of the Kilo's weaknesses is slow ADS times, but in Warzone that is far less of an issue, especially when carrying a close-range backup weapon like the MP7 or MP5. With 100-round magazines, the Kilo can compete with some LMGs for ammo counts, but still has the mobility of an AR. A VLK optic, Monolithic suppressor, 19.8" Prowler barrel, Commando foregrip, and 100-round drum magazine is a great Warzone build.
A build like that will work to the Kilo's strengths, but might be a little slow for some players. Swapping out the 100-round magazines for the 60-round option will improve movement speed quite a bit and will still provide plenty ammo for gunfights against multiple enemies. A Monolithic suppressor, Ranger foregrip, 19.8" Prowler barrel, and an optic of choice will be a more balanced build for both Warzone and long-range multiplayer maps. Since the Kilo's iron sights are not too bad, swapping the optic for Rubberized Grip Tape will help bring recoil to a minimum at little extra cost.
For close range multiplayer maps, the Kilo can also be very strong. Setting up a good close-range build will at the very least help while leveling the gun up on Shoot House or Shipment. A 16.6" SOCOM barrel, commando foregrip, 50- or 60-round magazines, stippled grip tape, and FSS Close Quarters stock will keep the Kilo 141 light and mobile. If having an optic is a must, swapping out the barrel for a Holographic scope is a good idea.
The Kilo 141 is definitely not meta-defining, but those players who enjoy using it tend to swear by this often-overlooked gun. It may not have the fire rate of the M13 or RAM-7, the low recoil of the Grau 5.56, or the damage of the M4A1, but the Kilo is a very solid all-rounder with a few tricks up its sleeve. Finding a good setup is key though, since the gun has some odd characteristics that need to be counteracted with attachments before it can truly live up to its potential.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
