Best Lachmann Sub Attachments

Old Modern Warfare 2 weapons feel at times like they were left in the dust, thrown out, and forgotten. The Lachmann Sub is doing its best to bring its brethren back into the limelight but it needs a lot of help.

The best attachments are as follows:

  • Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Ammunition: 9MM Overpressured
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10

One of the best underbarrel attachments for SMGs is an obvious choice to bring the Lachmann Sub up to MW3 standards. Next up we use a standard VLK LZR 7MW to help with handling, accuracy, and sprint-to-fire speeds. Together these two attachments alone bring the Lachmann Sub closer to that threshold. The 9MM Overpressured ammunition increases our damage range while the 40-round magazine keeps us chewing through bullets for as long as possible.

Finally, the Lachmann TCG-10 ties off our loadout with a helpful increase in recoil and gunkick control, ensuring that we hit our shots when the time arises.

Best Lachmann Sub Perks

Warzone’s perk system looks, feels, and is the same as we all know it from MW2. No fancy armor mechanic is going on here or need to relearn any of the build paths. Instead, we find a few new additions to the perks themselves to spice up gameplay and give players a new way to approach their loadout.

  • Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Resupply
  • Perk 4: High Alert

In our Perk 1 slot we have Sleight of Hand, the fastest way to reload your weapons whether you are in desperate need of ammunition or taking a leisurely run through the map. This perk will keep you locked and loaded.

Next up we have Double Time and its ability to increase your Tac Sprint duration and recharge time, allowing you to cross sight-lines and slip through buildings with blinding speed. Resupply gives you a constant stream of lethal and tactical equipment throughout the game, culminating in an untold amount of value for you and your squad. And finally, High Alert is an unsung hero in the new Warzone, offering you information on enemy positions and protecting your life when it matters the most.

Best Lachmann Sub Attachments

As a fan-favorite SMG with a clean sight, high fire rate, manageable recoil, and superior handling, there isn’t much the MP5 doesn’t bring to the table.

With the inception of new MW3 attachments and systems like Vests, we can squeeze so much more potential from the Lachmann Sub. Despite being positive, its singular worst aspect is its recoil pattern, which can be unwieldy to some. We can bring the Lachmann Sub back to its throne with the correct attachments.

  • Muzzle: ELR Blackfire Compensator
  • Barrel: L38 Falcon 226MM
  • Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
  • Stock: Lachmann S76 Factory Stock
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

To bring the fan-favorite MP5 to Modern Warfare 3’s standard we first use the ELR Blackfire Compensator to help manage the recoil control that we will sacrifice with our other attachments. The L38 Falcon 226MM barrel and the VLK LZR 7MW laser both increase movement speed, handling, ADS, and sprint-to-fire speeds which are crucial for an SMG.

Finally, we have the Lackmann S76 Factory stock to help with our accuracy and landing shots, while the Phantom-5 Handstop gives all around help to recoil and handling.

Best Lachmann Sub Perks

MW3 Scavenger Gloves

Modern Warfare 3 revamps the perk system, which has uniquely not occurred in the series for years. Perks are now specific pieces of body gear that can be swapped in and out to suit the needs of a Class. Since the Lachmann Sub is a fast-paced SMG, we want our perks to facilitate that slippery movement.

The best perks are as follows:

  • Vest: Infantry Vest
  • Gloves: Scavenger Gloves
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Gear: EOD Padding

There is no other vest like the Infantry Vest, its ability to Tac Sprint for longer and recharge faster cannot be underestimated for high mobility classes like the Lachmann Sub. SMGs are ammo devourers—constantly spewing mag after mag at the enemy can be very costly for your reserves. So we slip on our Scavenger Gloves to keep the snowball rolling and the kills coming. Combat Sneakers removes footstep sound (Dead silence), allowing you to slip in and out of enemy territory without anyone knowing. Finally, EOD padding keeps you safe from stray frag grenades or killstreaks.

And there we have it, the best Lachmann Sub loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Be sure to stick with us at Twinfinite for more Call of Duty related content. Likewise, check out our other loadout guides below.
