What is the best Warzone Lachmann Sub loadout? Few Call of Duty weapons are more iconic than the MP5. This lightweight SMG has been a fan favorite for well over a decade, and is, of course, featured in Warzone 2. Below you’ll find the loadout you need to tear up Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, and Vondel.
As with previous iterations of the MP5, this Warzone Lachmann Sub build is a fast-firing, reliable, close-quarters beast with decent mobility to boot, which is why its long been a steady competitor in the Warzone meta. However, a quick trip to the Warzone Gunsmith is a must if you want to turn it into one of the best Warzone guns around.
Warzone Lachmann Sub loadout
The best Warzone Lachmann Sub loadout is:
- Barrel: 38 Falcon 226mm – -0.21, +0.26
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW – -0.25, -21.23
- Ammunition: 9mm Overpressued +P – +0.70, +9.00
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum Mag
- Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10 – -0.26, -0.35
As you won’t always be beaming down opponents at short range, ensuring your gun packs a punch is key to getting extra mileage out of the weapon, and that’s what our Warzone 2 Lachmann Sub build looks to do – especially since it already has a pretty manageable recoil pattern.
Our first attachment is the 38 Falcon 226mm barrel, which increases your movement speed when using the weapon, as well as the aim down sight speed. However, it does come at the cost of weakened bullet velocity and recoil control. We recommend tuning this for -0.21 vertical and +0.26 horizontal.
This goes hand in hand with our next attachment for this loadout, the VLK LZR 7MW laser. This provides ADS speed, aiming stability, and sprint-to-fire speed, providing a similar bonus that the L38 Falcon barrel would, giving us the best of both worlds. This is a great attachment for frantic close-range skirmishes that often come down to speed. We’ll also be tuning this towards -0.25 vertical tuning and -21.23 horizontal tuning to get the most out of this attachment.
Next, we recommend 9mm Overpressued +P ammunition for this Lachmann Sub loadout simply due to the power of the flinch effect. Though it does cost us some recoil control, the added flinch effect it applies to enemies when shot in the lower body makes it a must-pick for close-range firefights. Throwing off your enemy’s aim while also dealing damage is a surefire way to come out on top. Set vertical tuning around +0.70 and horizontal tuning around +9.0 for the perfect balance.
To further our effectiveness in close-range and against groups, we’ve also chosen the 50 Round Mag, which is a must if you’re playing Quads. Despite it having a negative impact on several handling stats, the ability to have such a large magazine is hard to turn down.
Lastly, we’ve chosen the Lachmann TCG-10 rear grip will give you some much-needed recoil control at the cost of aiming stability. This will help you out at slightly further ranges or if you’re aiming for that perfect headshot on your enemy. Tune this for around -0.26 vertical tuning and -0.35 horizontal tuning.

That’s all you need to know for the best Lachmann Sub build in Warzone 2 right now, though there’s more to learn for the full-class setup. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to dominate close-range engagements in Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, and Vondel with this submachine gun, and well on your way to having a great time in one of the best battle royale games.
Best Warzone Lachmann Sub class setup
Although the Lachmann Sub is serviceable at midrange, you’ll ideally be pairing it with something that can deal with assailants further afield. For this, we’d recommend something like our Warzone TAQ-56 loadout if you like an AR or our Warzone MCPR-300 loadout if sniping is your thing.
As far as equipment is concerned, the Heartbeat Sensor is a helpful tool in the tactical slot. Regardless of the battery nerf, it is still an immensely-useful scouting tool. A Smoke Grenade is another great option though, letting us escape or close the gap when needed. On the lethal front, Drill Charge will make those close-range encounters even easier when clearing through buildings. On the other hand, the Throwing Knife is great for finishing off downed opponents in the blink of an eye.
When it comes to perks, we recommend Overkill, High Alert, Fast Hands, and Double Time. Overkill is a must since it lets you carry two primary weapons, so you’re prepared for anything. Meanwhile, High Alert gives a warning when enemies are aiming at us. Fast Hands and Double Time are all about increasing speed and handling, which are even more important with a close-range Lachmann Sub build. With this combination, you should be well-equipped for any challenge thrown at you.
Best Warzone Lachmann Sub alternatives
Right now the best Lachmann Sub alternative is undoubtedly the ISO 45. This impressive SMG has rocketed to the top of the Warzone meta in Season 4, which is unsurprising considering the best Warzone ISO 45 loadout turns it into an absolute monster.
And that’s the best Warzone Lachmann Sub loadout the battle royale game has to offer. If our pairing options aren’t to your taste, and you’re still looking for something with a bit more power at long range, then be sure to consult our best Warzone Kastov 762 loadout or Warzone Tempus Razorback loadout guides. It’s also worth checking out the best Warzone settings ahead of your next game – just to make sure.
