If you love assault rifles,, then you will want to see our best Lachmann 556 build for the Modern Warfare 2 beta.

BUY NOW: Gotham Knights – PlayStation 5

This AR, while not the current meta, is a reasonably decent rifle with a tight recoil pattern and decent range. The main thing holding it back is a slow reload speed, so be sure to time your reloads carefully.

Modern Warfare 2 Best Lachmann 556 Loadout

The Lachmann sub is the current meta in Call of Duty so it’s no surprise if you’re wondering how it fairs as an AR. The answer is not bad but not great. The reload time holds this gun back from being a top choice for your arsenal.

That said, with the right attachments and in the right hands, the Lachmann 556 can be a decent choice but not our first one.

Equip the following attachments

  • The Lach-12 Barrel
  • The SZ Mini optic
  • The Lachmman S9 factory stock
  • the VX Pineapple Vert Grip
  • the LMK64 Grip

The Lach-12 Barrel

This shorter barrel will help with aim-down-sight speed and movement speed but cost you in bullet velocity and recoil control.

The SZ Mini Optic

This is by far one of the best optics in the game with its red reticule and open sight picture. Target acquisition, even at greater distances, is still possible.

The Lachmann S9 Factory Stock

This stock will give you a massive boost in speed, making you move faster both standing and crouching. You’ll have better sprint speed and aim-down-sight speed. This will come at the cost of some aiming stability and recoil control.

The VX Pineapple Vert Grip

This grip gives you better hip fire accuracy and stability and will steady the weapon if you’re walking and control how much it kicks.

The LMK64 Grip

This grip boosts sprint-to-fire and aim-down-sight speed while costing you a tiny bit of recoil control. Being able to shoulder and fire your weapon accurately when you spot an enemy is crucial for any weapon you choose in Modern Warfare 2.

What other Lachmann 556 Attachments are Good?

The Lachmann 556 can be upgraded into a long-range assault rifle by swapping out the barrel for the 15.9″ Lachmann Rapp Barrel. You can also throw on the Forge-Tac Castle Compensator to tighten your recoil pattern. These both come at the cost of aim-down-sight speed, making it better for digging in and fighting at longer ranges.

Best Perks to Equip with the Lachmann 556 in Modern Warfare 2

lachmann 556 perks

If you want to keep that K/D ratio positive and climb to the top of the leaderboard, you’ll need to pack the right perks. We recommend the standard support package. This package will make you more resistant to tacticals and lethals with the E.O.D. and Battle Hardened perks.

Resupply will give you an extra lethal at spawn, and your equipment recharges every 25 seconds. Survivor will give you the option to self-revive if you’re downed. This comes in handy while fighting enemies at a distance and behind cover. If you get downed you can usually pick yourself back up if the enemy can’t close the distance fast enough to finish you off.

For your lethals/tacticals take whatever you work best with. Personally, we prefer flashbangs and thermite grenades.

Is the Lachmann 556 a Good Gun?

The Lachmann 556 is good but not great. ARs like the M4 and TAQ-56 consistently outperform it.

Is the Lachmann 556 a real gun?

The gun appears to take inspiration from a number of real world firearms including the German MP-5 and the Russian AN-95.
