Few weapons in Warzone 2 are more effective at destroying an entire opponent squad while yet allowing you to survive than an LMG. The best LMGs, however, possess more than simply raw power & suppression. To beam foes across the wide open spaces of Al Mazrah in COD Warzone 2, you’ll need a weapon that is precise and simple to handle.
- In Call of Duty: Warzone 2, devastating weapons like LMGs are known for their squad-wiping potential, but they come with recoil and slow speed.
- However, with the right attachments, LMGs can become laser beams.
- Using the right attachments with loadouts can turn these LMGs into formidable weapons capable of delivering precise and devastating long-range shots in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
- The only drawback of using LMG is the slow reloading speed and slow rate of fire.

COD Warzone 2.0 Best LMGs
Below, I will list down the summarized stats for best LMG loadouts:
| LMGs | Fire Rate | Caliber | Ammo Count | Muzzle Velocity | Magazine | Sprint | Tactical Sprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raal MG | 556 rpm | .338 Norma Mag | 75.0 | 730 m/s | 100 rounds | 5.45 m/s | 6.7 m/s |
| 556 Icarus | 779 rpm | 5.56 NATO | 75.0 | 700 m/s | 75 rounds | 5.59 m/s | 6.93 m/s |
| Sakin MG38 | 652 rpm | 7.62 NATO | 100.0 | 700 m/s | 100 rounds (125 and 150 with magazine attachments) | 5.51 m/s | 6.78 m/s |
| HCR 56 | 741 rpm | 7.62 Soviet 7.62 M67 | 60.0 | 700 m/s | 30 rounds (10 and 45 with ammunition attachments) | 5.61 m/s | 6.86 m/s |
| RPK | 600 rpm | 7.62x39 rounds | 75.0 | 590 m/s | Standard: 40 rounds Drum Mag: 75 (SP), 80 (MP) Zombies: 100 rounds (125 Pack-a-Punched) | 5.51 m/s | 6.86 m/s |
5. Raal MG
| Fire Rate | Ammo Count | Tactical Sprint | Sprint | Sprint to fire | Tactical Sprint to fire |
| 556 rpm | 75 rpm | 6.7 m/s | 5.45 m/s | 270 ms | 390 ms |
- Why I chose this: It gives decent recoil control with impressive damage.
I like the Raal MG a lot since it has the finest damage profile of any LMG. It just only two headshots to dispatch an unarmed foe. The Time-To-Kill for chest shots is a hellishly rapid 107ms, which in itself is more than enough time to take down an opponent before they can respond instantly.
With precise accuracy, it helps me snap targets and achieve quick kills without sacrificing bullet accuracy or control. Although its fire rate falls, you shouldn’t anticipate the Raal MG to feel as rapid as other LMGs.
The Best Raal MG LMG loadout for Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0 is as follows:
- Muzzle: Cronen DM338
- Underbarrel: SA Side Grip
- Ammunition: .338 Mag High Velocity
- Magazine: 50 Round Belt Mag
- Optic: SZ Holotherm
- Comparatively low recoil
- High bullet velocity
- Reliable accuracy in close-mid range
- Poor mobility
- Long reloading time
4. 556 Icarus
| Fire Rate | Ammo Count | Tactical Sprint | Sprint | Sprint to fire | Tactical Sprint to fire |
| 779 rpm | 75 | 6.93 m/s | 5.59 m/s | 250 ms | 370 ms |
- Why I chose this: It is a versatile weapon in LMG category and fits in multiple build types.
You can always count on the 556 Icarus as a reliable weapon. The recoil is a little more obvious because of its lighter body plus fast firing rate, although this is easily fixed with accessories. The 556 Icarus offers everything you would want from an LMG after minor adjustments.
Powerful and ideal for annihilating opposition troops. Although it isn’t the finest, it is adaptable and robust enough to stand on its own. It is almost identical to HCR 56. However, it outperforms it in a few crucial areas. One is that it is a good close-range option since it has the narrowest hipfire bullet dispersion of any LMG.
For Icarus, I recommend the following attachments:
- Muzzle: Echoless-80
- Laser: FSS Ole-V Laser
- Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
- Rear grip: XTEN Grip
- Stock: Demo Fade Pro Stock
- Good TTK
- High ammunition capacity
- Reliable fire rate
- Less mobility
- Slightly high recoil
3. Sakin MG38
| Fire Rate | Ammo Count | Tactical Sprint | Sprint | Sprint to fire | Tactical Sprint to fire |
| 652 rpm | 100 | 6.78 m/s | 5.51 m/s | 250 ms | 375 ms |
- Why I chose this: It has a very high-capacity magazine that allows me to fire never-ending shots.
Since the Sakin MG38 possesses the largest standard magazine of all LMGs, it can easily take down a 4-person squad with a barrage of bullets. However, it seems sluggish due to being among the slowest Time-To-Kill, ADS, and reload speeds in its class.
Another minor issue, yet one that you can easily fix, is accuracy. Thankfully, the large magazine leaves a slot open that you can utilize to increase Sakin’s damage, control, and accuracy to enhance its competitiveness in the current Warzone 2.0 meta.
For Sakin, I use the following attachments:
- Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
- Barrel: 20″ Bruen Silver Series Barrel
- Optic: VLK 4x Optic
- Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap
- High damage and power
- High muzzle velocity
- Impressive magazine capacity
- Long reload time
- Increased recoil on continuous spray
2. HCR 56
| Fire Rate | Ammo Count | Tactical Sprint | Sprint | Sprint to fire | Tactical Sprint to fire |
| 741 rpm | 60 | 6.86 m/s | 5.61 m/s | 250 ms | 375 ms |
- Why I chose this: Impressive rate of fire, which makes it reliable in close range as well.
With a significant decline in Time-To-Kill at a distance, the HCR 56 performs best up close. It seems ready to explode off while battling in close quarters as one of the lightest LMGs, with a sharp ADS speed, and it has the fastest reload speed of the bunch.
In COD Warzone 2.0, ADS speed is the main factor in choosing the best attachments for the HCR. When compared to weapons of its kind, the LMG’s damage range is quite small. To compensate for that, it would be beneficial if you could improve this weapon’s ADS quicker and better.
The following are the optimal attachments in the Best Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0 HCR 56 LMG Loadout:
- Barrel: 24.4“ Bruen S-620
- Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
- Underbarrel: Phase 3 Grip or FTAC Ripper
- Rear Grip: Bruen 0900 Grip
- Comb: FTAC C11 Riser
- Fast TTK
- Relatively good mobility
- Extra attachment slots
- Poor handling
1. RPK
| Fire Rate | Ammo Count | Tactical Sprint | Sprint | Sprint to fire | Tactical Sprint to fire |
| 741 rpm | 60 | 6.86 m/s | 5.61 m/s | 250 ms | 375 ms |
- Why I chose this: Impressive overall stats that makes it a versatile weapon.
The RPK will be the ideal LMG for a precise player who can score those close-range headshots. Barely defeating the heavily striking, sluggish RAAL MG. It’s interesting to note that it has the lowest Time-To-Kill for the upper torso yet the quickest Time-To-Kill for close-up photos of limbs.
It performs with an average Time-To-Kill for both mid- and long-range. Due to its limited firing rate, it will also be crucial to land every shot. Of all LMGs, it does feature the second-fastest reload speed. Undoubtedly a wise decision in the majority of cases.
With RPK, I use the following attachments:
- Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
- Barrel: TAC 597 Barrel
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Stock: Heavy Support Stock
- Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic
- High damage and Firepower
- Fast TTK
- Relatively good mobility
- Large ammo capacity
- Relatively faster reloading time
- More heavy to carry
