The Lachmann 556 is a versatile Assault Rifle in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. The rifle performs exceptionally well at close and mid-range encounters. This weapon is also highly mobile, allowing players to wield it aggressively as well. However, often the gun flies under the radar. This is due to the fact that the firearm doesn't excel in any particular area and fits the notion of a jack of all trades and master of none.
However, this exact versatility is what makes it so perfect in Warzone 2. In the title, players will rarely find themselves in a secure and safe position. Danger lurks in every corner of the map, and players will have to engage in a number of different scenarios.
Be it in long range or close quarters, the battle royale title presents challenges in a lot of ways. In such varied situations, the Lachmann 556 is a solid weapon to rely on.
That said, this guide will take a closer look at the best Lachmann 556 loadout in Warzone 2.
What is the best class setup for the Lachmann 556 in Warzone 2?
At launch, the Lachmann 556 wasn't quite popular. Other rifles, such as the Kastov-74u and the TAQ-56, took the stage away from the 556.
However, as the seasonal updates kept coming, the weapon meta in the game saw a lot of changes. As of Season 4, the Lachmann 556 is one of the best Assault Rifles to use in Warzone 2.
It performs brilliantly at close and medium ranges. Hence, the ideal weapon class to complement it would be Sniper Rifles or Marksman Rifles.
If you are going to pick a Sniper Rifle, it is advised to go with the FJX Imperium or the Victus XMR. If you are going with a Marksman Rifle, then the recommended ones would be the Tempus Torrent or the TAQ-M.
Next come the Perks. Based on the weapon's attributes, the ideal Perks would be Overkill (with a Sniper Rifle/Marksman Rifle), Double Time, Fast Hands, and lastly, High Alert.
For Equipment, it is advised to go with Smoke Grenades and a Semtex. However, without any attachments, the gun will do little good. The section below covers some of the best attachments for the Lachmann 556.
What are the best attachments for the Lachmann 556?
When it comes to picking the ideal attachments for the weapon, you will have to recognize its strengths and weaknesses and then curate them as such. The Lachmann 556 suffers in long-range fights but excels in mobility and also has an easy-to-control recoil.
That said, the following are the best attachments for the Lachmann 556 in Warzone 2:
- Optic: Aim OP-V4
- Barrel: 15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
Aim OP-V4 is one of the best optical sights in the game. It provides a clean and precise picture of the targets.
15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel gives a much-needed boost to the gun's damage range. It also boosts the rifle's bullet velocity and assists in recoil control.
Harbinger D20, too, increases the damage range and bullet velocity of the rifle. Moreover, it is a suppressor, which will make it difficult for your enemies to locate your exact position.
FTAC Ripper 56 stabilizes the aim, which greatly improves accuracy at ranges.
60 Round Mag is a must-have after the Season 4 update, which increased the base health of all players. This ensures that you have plenty of bullets in the magazine to take out fully shielded adversaries without having to reload in the middle of a fight.
