The rifle's design and sound closely matches that of the AKM.In Saints Row, an AK-74M, a more recent Kalashnikov rifle with plastic furnishings, is on display inside Friendly Fire in the Saint's Row District as well as Gat's room in the church, but it is unobtainable in the game.The rifle respawns after 15 seconds, so waiting around 5 minutes gives full rifle ammo. In Saints Row, a K6 Krukov spawns north-east of the Shivington police station in ' Best Laid Plans.' and ' Abandoned Police Station', on a basketball field.Its name may originate from the term 'Krinkov', a common nickname for short-barreled AK variants.
In Saints Row 2, Shaundi, Pierce, Johnny Gat and Tera all use this rifle as their weapon of choice when they have been unlocked as homies. It is a standard, light assault rifle, with average damage and accuracy.
