Best Lachmann Sub Warzone 2 loadout

  • Muzzle: XRK Sandstorm
  • Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10
  • Stock: LM Stockless Mod
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40

The Lachmann Sub is primarily a close-range weapon in Warzone 2, but using the XRK Sandstorm will keep much of the gun’s recoil in check, meaning it can hold its own in mid-range encounters. Then we’ve gone for the Lachmann TCG-10 rear grip and Lockgrip Precision-40 underbarrel to bolster the SMG’s kickback even more.

Next up is the LM Stockless Mod, which improves the ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time, allowing you to get those crucial first shots in.

Finally, it’s also essential to be able to deal with multiple enemies at once, so we’ve opted for 40 Round Mags for extra ammo capacity.

In the Ultimate slot is Survivor, which pings downed enemies on the map so a teammate can finish them off, while also speeding up your own revive time.

When it comes to equipment, the new Drill Charges are perfect for taking out players who are hiding behind cover, while Flash Grenades can cover their screen while you get the drop on them.
