The MP5, or Lachmann Sub, is the most comfortable SMG in Warzone 2, and it's our recommendation to players of all skill levels. And we don't just say that because of low-recoil, it also has a TTK that can compete with the meta. You can find the best loadout for the Lachmann Sub in Warzone 2 below.
Here we have the Lachmann Sub, or as you likely call it, the MP5. And for whatever reason Call of Duty devs love this gun. It's somewhat accurate to real life, as the MP5 has become the go-to choice for security forces around the world. But wow, almost every game the MP5 appears in it's the meta. And the same can be said of Warzone 2.
The Lachmann Sub has a great balance of mobility, handling and recoil control. We can recommend it to players of all skill-levels. You can find the best Lachmann Sub build for Warzone 2 beneath.
- The MP5 is certainly a meta SMG, and if you're interested in what else is up there, here are the best weapons in Warzone 2.
The Best Attachment Setup For The Lachmann Sub In Warzone 2
| Slot | Attachment | Attachment Tuning |
| Muzzle | Bruen Cubic Comp | Aim Down Sight Speed (-0.80 oz) / Gun Kick Control (+0.32 in) |
| Barrel | L38 Falcon 226MM | Aim Walking Speed (-0.50 lb) / Damage Range (+0.40 in) |
Laser | VLK LZR 7MW | Sprint To Fire Time (-0.50 oz) / Aim Down Sight Speed (-51.00 ft) |
| Stock | FT Mobile Stock | Aim Down Sight Speed (-3.90 oz) / Aim Walking Speed (-2.40 in) |
| Magazine | 40-Round Drum | Default |
With this build we want to maximize handling speeds and mobility above all else. The only exception to this is the 40-round mag, which we need for the higher TTKs in Warzone, and the muzzle brake, which gives us extra recoil control with a really efficient tradeoff.
You might be wondering why we didn't take no-stock. For most players the recoil penalty will just be too much with the no-stock, even on SMGs. Instead, the stock we've chosen will still increase handling speeds, but it doesn't cost us as much recoil control.
- You need to grind out the Lachmann 762 and the Lachmann 556 to unlock the MP5, and the fastest way of doing that is buying Modern Warfare 2.
The Best Loadout For The Lachmann Sub: Secondary, Perks & Equipment
Secondary: ISO Hemlock
With an SMG you will, of course, need something for long-range. There's really only two serious options right now: the ISO Hemlock and the RPK. But because we know most of you won't love the idea of an LMG, we chose the Hemlock. This thing fries.
The build above is focused on long-range, but if you want something a little quicker replace the underbarrel with a laser.
- Here's a complete guide to the ISO Hemlock.
Perks (Base, Bonus & Ultimate)
Thank god we can pick perks again:
Base Perk | Tracker, Overkill |
| Bonus Perk | Fast Hands |
| Ultimate Perk | High Alert |
Tracker is a great way to get some extra kills, especially if you like to play buildings. Overkill is necessary to take an AR with the Lachmann, and we do need to do that. Fast Hands will allow us to swap between the two weapons more quickly. And in the Ultimate Perk slot, we really like High Alert right now (especially with footstep audio in its current state).
Equipment (Lethal & Tactical)
For equipment choices we always offer aggressive suggestions to SMG users:
| Lethal | Throwing Knives |
| Tactical | Stims |
For players that love to get up close and personal Throwing Knives are a great way to guarantee the kill before you get traded. And alongside Throwing Knives, Stims are also a great option for aggressive players as they allow you to quickly reset.
