Modern Warfare 2 Best Lockwood MK2 Build

As we mentioned, this gun is not for your typical player. Packing a rifle from a century ago makes about as much sense as using watermelon to carve a steak, especially when everyone around you has fully automatic weapons. However, some folks born with eagle eyes will no doubt want to try it.

Given this is technically a marksman rifle, we recommend you stay far away from your opponents. Your only chance of survival if they spot you is to be too far away for them to be effective. The recoil pattern on most weapons can’t reach past 40 meters.

You’ve got one to two shots before you’re spotted, so make them count, and have one be a headshot if possible. Unfortunately, a body shot won’t knock an enemy out, so if you miss that follow-up shot, be ready to meet your maker.

During the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 online beta, you were not allowed to equip attachments, so, unfortunately, until the entire game is out, we can’t advise you on what you should be using as far as scopes, grips, stocks, etc.

We can, however, give you some general advice. And be sure to check out our other guides as well.

• Aim for the head; you’ve got one to two shots max before a fully automatic weapon gets pointed in your direction.
• Flank and use cover. Unless you play smart, you’ll yee your last haw, cowboy.
