Captain Price, Ghost, Soap, and the whole Task Force 141 gang are back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and their modern-day arsenal of weaponry is back in the forefront, too.
In MW2, the MP5 is called the Lachmann Sub since it is part of the Lachmann weapon platform. It’s unlocked by leveling the Lachman 556 until you receive the Lach-9 9mm Parabellum Receiver attachment. Once you have it, you can begin to level up MW2’s MP5.
“The Lachmann Sub’s compact, fully automatic 9mm receiver is a masterpiece of stability, mobility, and lethality,” the gun’s in-game description reads. “The modular system is configurable for a variety of covert and close-quarters operations.” In real-world usage in a multitude of varieties since the 1960s, the MP5 is a lock to be found in FPS games of several eras, and the modern-day setting of the Modern Warfare series is no exception.
There’s no denying it: FPS gamers love their run-and-gun MP5 playstyle. Here’s the best Lachmann Sub loadout in MW2.
Best Lachmann Sub MP5 loadout in MW2
- Muzzle: XTEN Razor Comp
- Barrel: L38 Falcon 226mm Barrel
- Stock: No Stock
- Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
- Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
Secondary: Preferred pistol
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Semtex
Perk Package: Battle Hardened and Double Time, Fast Hands, Ghost
Field Upgrade: Battle Rage
This set of five attachments will help you stay mobile and in the enemy’s face, and that’s what a run-and-gun SMG is really all about. As the sub is leveled up, you gain access to the attachments that you need.
I think Battle Hardened and Double Time are the best base perks to run with. Stuns and flash grenades are so incredibly strong that you need to counter them, and Double Time will keep you on the move in the same way.
- Barrel: FTAC M-Sub 12″
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Stock: Meer Recoil-56 Factory Stock
- Underbarrel: Phase 3 Grip
- Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10
Secondary: Preferred pistol
Tactical: Stun Grenade
Lethal: Semtex
Perk Package: Battle Hardened and Bomb Squad, Fast Hands, Ghost
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
This is a similar loadout to the one above, but it’s tuned a bit more for a ranged assault. The Lachmann Sub will always be strong up close, but these attachments can help you out in those mid-range battles where you may lose out due to damage range or bullet velocity.
You likely won’t be able to stand up to the M4, TAQ-56, or ISO Hemlock players of the multiplayer world with this setup, but it could give you an extra bullet or two head start against fellow SMG players online.
