Modern Warfare 2: BEST Lachmann-556 Loadouts [My Picks]

After investing 120+ hours in MW2, here is my recommended loadout for Lachmann-556.

One weapon that is taking the multiplayer scene by storm is the Lachmann 556 class setup. The gun’s vast range of attachments makes it a great primary long and close-range weapon, which deems it one of the Best Weapons in MW2. I will tell you all about the Lachmann 556 Best loadouts and class setups in Modern Warfare 2.

Key Takeaways
  • Lachmann 556 is an AR that’s taking the game by storm.
  • There are two Loadouts you can run according to your playstyle. One is for long-range, and the other is for close-range combat.
  • The perks and field upgrades are pretty much the same for both. You will want to run Ghost and Dead Silence if you are an aggressive player.

The First Lachmann setup is built for both mid and long ranges; it also works well in close range. You can use it to engage with multiple enemy units at once and eliminate them all. I believe the setup works pretty well without sacrificing any movement speed. It has amazing Aim Down Sight speed, which is key to winning any COD fight.

Best Attachments

Attachments are how you are going to overcome the cons of the Lachmann and transform it into a beast. They will help you increase movement, range, and Aim Down Sight speed. You can also increase the Magazine size according to your preference and add a scope.

Here are the best attachments I recommend for Lachmann 556:

Muzzle Barrel Underbarrel Magazine  Optic 
Echo line GS-X Suppressor Lach – 12 FSS Sharkfin 90 40-Round Mag Cronen Mini Red Dot

Secondary Weapon

You will be running overkill in the first setup, so you can run a msg with the Lachmann 556 class loadout. The Lachmann combo is the best in the game, and you will want to try it. The best Smg is going to be the Lachmann sub, and with these attachments, it’s going to melt enemies at close range. 

Muzzle Barrel Underbarrel Magazine  Rear Grip
SA Schalldampfer 99   F-Tech M-Sub 12” FSS Sharkfin 90 50-Round Drum LM Cronus Grip

Perks

Base Perk 1 Base Perk 2 Bonus Perk  Ultimate Perk 
Overkill Scavenger Quick Fix Ghost

Perks provide you with the extra buffs you need to annihilate the enemy team. For the base perks, you will need to run Overkill so you can use both the Lachmann 556 and the Lachmann sub. The second base perk you will need to go for is the Scavenger, so you can loot bodies and gain more ammo. 

For the bonus perk, you should be running Quick Fix, which will allow you to start healing automatically after getting a kill. Quick Fix increases your chance of survival and gives you increased Health regeneration when you capture objectives.

For Ultimate Perk, you can run Ghost and be undetectable from enemy UAVs and Scanners. Ghost helps you catch the enemy by surprise and gives you the upper hand in Fights. People using UAVs won’t expect you to flank them.

Equipment

Tactical Lethal
Flash Grenade Semtex

With the Loadout 1 setup, the best Equipment you could run is going to be the Flash Grenade and Semtex. The flash will blind enemies and will help you push them or reposition yourself. The syntax is great to stick enemies with or do some great splash damage. Combining the two can also help with easy 1v4s. 

Field Upgrade

The Dead Silence is the strongest Field Upgrade to push and flank enemies. They have nerfed it a bit to balance it out, but it’s still quite strong and good to use. In my opinion, having it in your arsenal allows you to flank multiple enemies, and paired with Ghost and the Suppressor, they will never see you coming.

  • More Versatile
  • Accuracy over long-range
  • Better recoil control
  • Not fastest TTK

Lachmann 556 Loadout 2

The second first-up is going to be for more of a fast close to the mid-range gun. You can push enemies with these attachments and run circles around them. Loadout two only has the Lachmann so you can solely focus on fighting enemies with your primary. You will want to keep moving with Loadout 2 cause its Optimized for agility.

Attachments

Best Attachments For Close Range

As with the previous Loadout, the attachments will help you run the gun to its full potential. In loadout two, your attachments will be focused more on Movement and Speed. If you are a player who loves to push enemies, the stock and barrel will help you out a lot. 

For the second loadout, I recommend the following attachments:

Optic Barrel Underbarrel Magazine  Stock
Cronen Mini Red Dot LM Aurora 90 barrel Lockgrip Precision-40. 40-Round Mag Lachmann S9 Factory

Perks

Base Perk 1 Base Perk 2 Bonus Perk  Ultimate Perk 
Scavenger Battle Hardened Quick Fix Ghost

So, for the base perks, you will still want to run the Scavenger Perk, as it will allow you to restock on ammo, so you don’t run out. With it, you will want to Battle Hardened Perk since you will be running around and pushing enemies. 

  • For the bonus perk, I recommend running the Quick Fix Perk like in Loadout 1.
  • Quick Fix is just a great perk when pushing enemies and taking on multiple units. 
  • The Ultimate Perk will also be the same as Loadout 1, which is the Ghost Perk.
  • Ghost is also a must-have when running around in the enemy sites and flanking them.
  • The more your location is hidden, the more kills you can get. Ghost will keep you hidden from all enemy radars.

Equipment

Tactical Lethal
Medical Syringe Semtex

The most useful equipment for the Lachmann 556 Loadout 2 is going to be the Medical Syringe and the Semtex. When playing aggressively, you need all the health you can get so the medical syringe will help you survive.

The Semtex is a great lethal to have and can be used defensively and offensively. You can throw it while retreating to stop enemies from chasing after you. Moreover, you can throw it at a group of enemies to get them low so you can easily kill them in one Mag. 

Field Upgrade

If you are running around and want to be undetected, the best field upgrade is going to be the Dead Silence. It has received a little nerf, though. Now, when you activate it, there is a loud sound from your location to let enemies know you went dead silent, so use it wisely. You can use it from a distance and then push enemies so they won’t know what hit them. 

  • Better damage and fire rate
  • Increased TTK
  • Can be used at hip fire
  • Limited range
  • Reduced accuracy with increased distance

How To Unlock Lachmann 556

First things first: The weapon does not come unlocked in the game, so you will have to unlock it. However, it will be really fast and simple, so you do not need to worry about it. All you need to do is level up your Lachmann 762 to level 13. Lachmann 762 is also a great starter weapon, and leveling it up is quite easy. 

  • Once you unlock the weapon, you can equip it and use it, but there’s a catch.
  • To unlock and equip the required, you will need to level up your weapons
  • All you need to do is equip the weapon and queue up some matches.
  • The weapon gains a constant flow of XP in games, but you can speed up the process.
  • The weapons gain more XP from eliminating enemies, completing objectives, and destroying killstreaks.
  • Weapon XP tokens also enable you to gain more XP if activated before your matches.

My Thoughts On The Lachmann 556

Lachmann 556 reminds me of the Grau from Modern Warfare 2019 and has a similar feel to it. The gun feels good to use, and you can have great mobility with it while rushing enemies. There are 2 main class setups you will want to run according to your play style.

The Lachmann 556 class setup is going to be meta, at least for the start of the game. If you want to compete with the rest of the server, you should start mastering it. It will help you gain nukes and out-kill the lobby easily. So, after learning all the attachments and Pros and Cons, Will the Lachmann 556 be your go-to weapon?
