The launch of Modern Warfare 2 has introduced a new way to unlock weapons with a weapon tree structure. Before you can unlock the Lachmann-556, you need to rank up the Lachmann-762 to level 13. The Lachmann-556 isn’t exactly the strongest gun in the assault rifle category, especially when compared to the deadly TAQ-56 and the classic M4. Compared to last year’s entry to the franchise, Call of Duty: Vanguard, the gunsmith has shifted from picking 10 attachments for your gun to five in Modern Warfare 2. There’s still a lot of attachments to choose from, however, so it can be difficult to know what to use. By using the best attachments, you can build a viable Lachmann-556 class to take into your next match.

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 best Lachmann-556 class

  • Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
  • Barrel: Lachmann Nova
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Stock: RAPP-762 Factory
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
  • Receiver: Lachmann-556

Let’s begin by breaking down the build. The first attachment is the FTAC Castle Comp to increase your horizontal and vertical recoil control. In terms of a barrel, the Lachmann Nova is a solid option, as it adds multiple benefits to your weapon. This includes increased damage range, bullet velocity, recoil control, and hip fire accuracy.

Next, equipping the FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel boosts the aiming idle stability and recoil stabilization of your assault rifle. Pairing this with the RAPP-762 Factory stock will provide you with more aiming stability. Completing your class with the Cronen Mini Red Dot grants your weapon the clear sight picture to help you to take out your enemies with precision.

Moving on to weapon tuning, or the lack of it

Weapon tuning is a new feature in Modern Warfare 2 that allows you to customize your class even further. The purpose of this is to gain more of your desired characteristics so you can build a class that closely resembles your play style. However, weapon tuning was only a temporary option in the gunsmith as Infinity Ward disabled it due to an issue. At the time of writing, its unknown when weapon tuning will be back, so you’ll have to wait a while longer to tune your attachments.

When you’re choosing a secondary weapon, a pistol is a handy backup to have at your disposal. If you bump into an enemy but you run out of bullets in your clip, swapping to your pistol is faster than going through the Lachmann-556’s reload animation. Early on in the game, the X12 is proving to be a pistol that is capable of packing a punch in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.
