MW2 best Lachmann-556 Loadout: attachments and why you use them
Here is our best MW2 Lachmann-556 Loadout:
Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40 Barrel: 15.9” Lachmann Rapp Barrel Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot Stock: LM-S Factory G79 Stock Rear Grip: S-Grip Zero
The Sakin Tread-40 is the best bet for this build. The Lachmann-556 has a lot of vertical recoil and some horizontal recoil, both of which are covered up nicely by the Sakin Tread-40. With this, you’ll be more than able to keep shots on target at mid-range. As for the Barrel attachment, the 15.9” Lachmann Rapp Barrel gives you everything a mid-range assault rifle needs. It increases damage range, recoil control, and bullet velocity. All you lose are some stats that are useful for close quarters fights, which we don’t care about. Speaking of the Optic slot, the Cronen Mini Red Dot is a brilliant sight for short and mid range fights, since it doesn’t obscure your view too much at all. You can still see your surroundings for the most part, and it doesn’t slow down your ADS speed enough to matter in most cases. Also, the red dot itself being so small means you maintain a clear view of the person you’re shooting. All in all a brilliant sight. For the Stock, we have the LM-S Factory G79 Stock. It doesn’t give much, but what it does give is aiming stability and recoil control, both crucial stats for a mid range assault rifle. Sure you lose movement stats and ADS speed, but it’s well worth it. Finally, the rear grip slot is taken by the S-Grip Zero. It provides aiming stability, and flinch resistance. These both come in handy when you’re trading bullets with other players, and can seriously save your life and keep shots on target. With all of these together, you’ll have an MW2 Lachmann-556 loadout that’ll let you take on players at a decent range away from you. It’s not great at long range, and falls a tad short when face-to-face, but it’s a great option for your average firefight.
