The AK117 remains a compelling assault rifle option in Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9, particularly for players who want a fast-firing weapon capable of maintaining consistent accuracy during extended engagements. However, its rapid fire rate makes recoil management and bullet spread important considerations when building an effective Gunsmith setup.
This configuration, shared by Explosive YT CODM, prioritises stability, effective range, and ammunition capacity rather than aggressive mobility. By combining the OWC Marksman barrel with multiple accuracy-focused attachments, the build aims to make the AK117 more dependable in sustained medium-range firefights.
Here is the complete five-attachment configuration shared by Explosive YT CODM:
| Attachment | Name |
|---|---|
| Barrel | OWC Marksman |
| Magazine | 48 Round Extended Mag |
| Muzzle | MIP Light Flash Guard |
| Rear Grip | Granulated Grip Tape |
| Underbarrel | Ranger Foregrip |
The defining characteristic of this loadout is its emphasis on controlling the AK117's sustained fire. Rather than sacrificing stability for faster handling, the attachments work together to improve consistency when tracking opponents across medium-range engagements.
The OWC Marksman is arguably the most important component of this configuration. It improves damage range and recoil control, helping the AK117 remain more manageable when opponents are positioned beyond close-quarters distances.
Its main drawback is reduced mobility and slower ADS performance. This makes the attachment particularly relevant for players who prefer positioning and controlled engagements over constant sprinting and aggressive challenges.
The Ranger Foregrip reinforces this approach by improving vertical recoil control and ADS bullet spread accuracy. Combined with the OWC Marksman, it creates a stability-focused foundation that can make maintaining accuracy during extended bursts more manageable.
There is a trade-off, however. The additional handling penalties mean this setup is less responsive than an AK117 configuration built around lightweight attachments and faster ADS speeds.
The 48 Round Extended Mag gives the AK117 additional ammunition before reloading, an especially useful characteristic for a weapon with a high fire rate.
In Battle Royale, where opponents can have substantial armour reserves, the larger magazine provides more flexibility during sustained engagements. It also becomes valuable when transitioning between targets without immediately reloading.
The extra capacity should not be mistaken for a damage improvement. Its practical advantage is reducing the frequency of reload interruptions, although extended magazines can introduce handling penalties.
Meanwhile, the Granulated Grip Tape improves ADS bullet spread accuracy, reinforcing the build's focus on consistency. This becomes particularly relevant when tracking moving targets at medium range.
The final attachment, the MIP Light Flash Guard, helps conceal muzzle flash while improving bullet spread accuracy. Although it introduces an ADS-speed penalty, its accuracy benefits complement the rest of the configuration.
This version of the AK117 is better suited to deliberate engagements than highly aggressive close-range rushing.
Players should consider three practical adjustments:
In Battle Royale, pairing this configuration with a close-range SMG can help compensate for its slower handling. In Multiplayer, it is more naturally suited to holding lanes and defending objectives than repeatedly challenging opponents at point-blank range.
For players who struggle to maintain accuracy with the AK117 during prolonged engagements, Explosive YT CODM's configuration presents a clear alternative to mobility-focused builds.
The OWC Marksman, Ranger Foregrip, and Granulated Grip Tape establish the weapon's accuracy-oriented foundation, while the 48 Round Extended Mag supports sustained fights. The MIP Light Flash Guard adds further accuracy benefits without occupying a slot needed for recoil control.
This is not a configuration designed to maximise ADS speed or movement. Its appeal lies in making the AK117 more manageable when maintaining fire on targets at medium range.

For players who value predictable recoil, ammunition capacity, and controlled engagements, this AK117 setup offers a focused starting point. Those who primarily favour aggressive close-quarters combat may be better served by a lighter build with faster handling.
