The Lachmann 556 is an Assault Rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 known for its versatility. It is currently one of the most popular weapons in the game, but that wasn't the case at launch. In the initial days of the game, the Lachmann 556 failed to gather the top spot among fans and flew under the radar. However, as patches and updates came by, the Assault Rifle quickly grew in popularity and became one of the best weapons across Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
The Lachmann 556 boasts a decent fire rate of 732 rpm (Rounds per minute), which is quite impressive for an Assault Rifle. Alongside that, the time-to-kill (TTK) value of the firearm stands at 249ms for up to 44 meters. This makes it a solid mid-range performer, which also excels in long-range engagements.
That said, if players want to use the weapon in the game, they must equip a few attachments to get the most out of it and build a proper class around it that compliments the weapon well.
This guide will take a closer look at the best attachments for the Lachmann 556 and the ideal Perks, Equipment, and more.
What is the best class setup for the Lachmann 556 in Modern Warfare 2?
The Lachmann 556 is a solid choice for mid-range combat. However, it doesn't fare well in close-range encounters. Hence, it is recommended to go with the FTAC Siege or the X13 Auto in the secondary weapon slot, as these full-auto pistols are solid close-range performers and can be wielded as SMGs as well.
Regarding the Perks, you should include Double Time, Battle Hardened, Fast Hands, and High Alert or Ghost as the Ultimate Perk. As for Equipment, it is advised to go with Stun Grenade and Semtex. This Class Setup will harness the strengths of the Assault Rifle and increases your chances of survival in a match. However, they won't drastically improve your gunplay experience.
To improve your chances of winning more 1v1s, you must equip a set of attachments that not only mitigates the rifle's flaws but also boosts its strengths.
What are the best attachments for the Lachmann 556?
The Lachmann 556 is currently considered the meta weapon that is viable in any situation one might find themselves in. As already established, it excels at mid-range combat, has an easy-to-control recoil pattern, and has a decent time-to-kill.
To get the most out of the Lachmann 556 Assault Rifle in Modern Warfare 2, the following attachments are recommended:
- Barrel: 15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
- Optic: Slimline Pro
15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel increases the weapon's damage range and bullet velocity, making it even better for ranged combat. It also assists you in controlling the recoil.
Harbinger D20 is a suppressor that silences gunshots, making it difficult for enemies to determine your location. It increases the damage range and the bullet velocity. It also helps with recoil by smoothening it out, making it easier to control.
FTAC Ripper 56 stabilizes the idle aim of the weapon as well as the recoil, allowing for a more consistent and accurate shooting experience.
40 Round Mag increases the default bullet count of 30 per magazine by 10. This ensures that you can take on multiple enemies without having to reload.
Slimline Pro is one of the cleanest optical sights in the game that provide a precise picture of the targets. However, optics are highly preferential and should be picked as such.
