Quick Links
Modern Warfare 2is home to a handful of Light-Machine Guns, all of which are great contenders for Warzone 2’s Battle Royale. For example, the RAAL MG and the RPK are amongthe best LMGs in the game, sporting exceptional range and damage. Another great option players can consider isSakin MG38, an LMG great for holding down the line and taking out players at long distances.

The Sakin MG38 boasts one ofthe highest levels of recoil controlof the LMG category and possesses a high fire rate forsignificant damage output. It also has ties with the RAPP H and the RPK for having thehighest level of effective range. But that is not all, for the Sakin MG38 also offers consistent stats in damage and range, although it is relatively slow and clunky. Fortunately for all, the Sakin MG38 is the first available LMG and is madeavailable once you unlock Custom Loadouts at Level 4.

Double Time & Scavenger
Fast Hands
The Sakin MG38 is quite slow and sluggish, makingDouble Timea great consideration for your first Base Perk slot.Maintaining your tactical sprint for a longer durationwill come in handy for rushing to key areas of the map, making up for the loss of mobility. Next, go ahead and equipScavenger to resupply ammunition from fallen enemies. This ensures that you never run out of ammunition in either of your weapons, thus making this loadout viable for racking up kill chains and high-tier killstreaks.
Your Bonus Perk slot should definitely beFast Hands,as the Sakin MG38’s reload is considerably slow. Fast Hands provides you withfaster reload times, allowing you to get back into the fight much sooner. The final perk we recommend for Multiplayer isQuick Fix, which allows you tostart regenerating health after eliminating enemies. This way, you may regain some of that health quickly after sustaining damage from intense gunfights.
ForWarzone 2, swap Scavenger for Overkill.
Swap-To-Secondary Recommendations
As the reload time for the Sakin MG38 is fairly slow, we recommend you take a swap-to-secondary to keep you covered when your primary is out of action. One of the best Pistols in the game currently is theX13 Auto, which can be made even better through theIMPACT POINTbarrel attachment. Make sure toequip a stock to improve your weapons handling attributes, as well as a large magazine attachment for extra ammo capacity.
For your Warzone 2 loadout, instead, make use of anSMG. SMGs provide a better range than most Pistols whilst still retaining high mobility.TheLachmann SubandtheFennec 45are powerful up close, making them perfect for sweeping buildings and swapping to when your primary is out of action. Alternatively, you could considertheVaznev-9KortheFSS Hurricanefor better range and bullet velocity.
