LMGs have never had the spotlight in a Call of Duty installment but MW3 throws this class of weapon a bone with some of the most accurate and highly damaging weapons in the game. One such LMG, the DG-58 LSW, is our focus today as we detail the best DG-58 LSW loadout in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

Best DG-58 LSW Attachments
LMGs haven’t found their place in the META for Warzone, but we believe with some choice nerfs to the best weapons of the season we can start seeing this class of weaponry rise the rankings. The DG-58 LSW is a heavyset weapon with decent accuracy but bouncy recoil, has a large ammo capacity expected of it, but also a sustained damage profile that can net kills fairly easily. With a few critically chosen attachments this LMG can perform well in Warzone’s environment.
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: WUDI Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5X
- Rear Grip: Varanus Steady Grip
Due to its shaky recoil, we have to direct our attention to mitigating that weakness as quickly as possible so the DG-58 LSW can be as reliable as possible. We start with the Bruen Heavy Support Grip and Varanus Steady Grip for all the recoil nullifying needs. Together they reduce gun kick, and horizontal and vertical recoil and boost general accuracy.
Our long-range package is the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and WUKI Long Barrel as gunfights are often started and finished at long ranges in Warzone. This pairing increases our damage range, TTK, and keeps us off the minimap.
Finally, our optic of choice is the Corio Eagleseye 2.5X as a clean and uncluttered sight for precise shots.
Best DG-58 LSW Perks
Here we recommend perks for Warzone in general, so feel free to swap out any for those that you prefer.
The best perks are as follows:
- Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
- Perk 2: Double Time
- Perk 3: Temepered
- Perk 4: High Alert
Sleight of Hand allows you to reload quicker, a very strong perk since everyone can sprint while reloading in Warzone. Double Time is a must-have in Warzone, especially with the long sightlines and the high mobility META, crossing the map or choke points with speed will save your life more time you can count.
With Tempered you’ll be plating to full HP 33% faster than your allies or enemies, potentially allowing you to surprise a sudden enemy push. You’ll find so much more bag space for other gadgets like smokes or grenades. Finally, High Alert is an underestimated perk that gives you information, saves your life, and can help you clutch a fight.

Best DG-58 LSW Attachments
The DG-58 is a fairly middling LMG with subpar damage and the expected sluggishness expected from the heavy class of weaponry.
While its accuracy is fairly manageable, its recoil is substantially bouncy which can cause you to miss those crucial shots that could result in a kill rather than death. Its little brother, the DG-58, is a monster assault rifle and puts the power difference between the top and the middle of the pack into perspective. Still, we can shore up some weaknesses and lean on some strengths with the correct attachments.
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: WUDI Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip
- Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
- Ammunition: 5.8×42 High Grain Rounds
The main issue with the DG-58 LSW is its damage range is sorely lacking and often results in a slow TTK that causes many kills to go unclaimed. To combat this, we slip on the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and the High Grain Rounds ammunition to increase the damage, and range, and protect us from radar pings. The WUDI Long Barrel and the Bruen Pivot Vertical Grip are here to help with the bouncy recoil and mitigate the difficulty of hitting crucial shots. Finally, the MK. 3 Reflector is a solid and uncluttered sight to ensure visibility is at the highest level.
Best DG-58 LSW Perks
Perks are now different pieces of body armor that give you specific and unique bonuses that you can mix and match across your loadout. The DG-58 LSW is an LMG, so it needs the right bonuses to be truly effective.
The best perks are as follows:
- Vest: Gunner Vest
- Gloves: Quick Grip Gloves
- Gear: EOD Padding
Gunner Vest (Overkill) allows you to take two primary weapons into battle, so be sure to pair this weapon up with a META SMG for CQC engagements. Our Quick-Grip gloves negate a big weakness of the LMG class, allowing us to switch to our secondary when the big gun isn’t needed. Due to the Gunner Vest, we sacrifice a pair of boots but we think the positives outweigh the negatives here. Finally, the EDO Padding protects us from stray frags or killstreaks.
