Due to its reliability at mid to long ranges, you’ll want to capitalise on the full capabilities of the Lachmann-556 and opt for attachments that will further reduce recoil and sway, to make it even better for handling. For the best Lachmann-556 build, equipment and perks see our full explainer below.
Why use the Lachmann-556 in MW3?
As stated previously, the Lachmann-556 is surprisingly effective at mid to long ranges and when you pair it with the right attachments you can create a formidable loadout. We’ve opted for mods that will make the Lachmann-556 excel in terms of bullet velocity and recoil and further increase its range capabilities without sacrificing damage output.
Although theHarbinger D20has some minor penalties, it can give a major boost to bullet velocity which makes the trade more than worth it. Additionally, the heavy silencer goes a long way to making the rifle more reliable at longer ranges.
The15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel, is also a heavy attachment that will drastically improve the Lachmann-556’s range and recoil control, turning it into an extremely accurate mid-range weapon.
To go completely overkill on recoil control, we’ve paired the attachments with theFTAC Ripper 56. This will additionally tame a lot of the rifle’s idle sway while aiming, which we find is very useful particularly since we’re using ironsights instead of a scope.
The5.56 High Velocityattachment is a game-changer, pushing the Lachmann-556’s bullet velocity to near sniper rifle levels.
Finally we’ve increased the Lachmann-556’s magazine capacity by 10 with the40 Round Magattachment. The Lachmann-556’s damage profile isn’t lacking, but against multiple armoured enemies it’s always a good idea to have extra magazines for most Assault Rifles.
Whilst this build seeks to optimise the mid to long-range capabilities of the Lachmann-556, you may wish for something close-range as a secondary option. TheLachmann Subhas a long-standing reputation of being one of thebest SMGsin the franchise, and rightfully so. It is a powerhouse, efficient across most categories with excellent time-to-kill and high mobility.
Infantry Vest, Commando Gloves, Stalker Boots, Ghost T/V Camo, Munitions Box, Semtex, EMD Grenade.
For a Lachmann-556 build, we recommend opting for theInfantry Vestto get the additional tactical sprint duration, a valuableperkas you switch in and out of the fray. You can combine this with theCommando Glovesto gain reloading whilst sprinting, a valuable perk for mobility.
TheStalker Bootsare always a worthy choice as they increase strafe and ADS speed, further adding to the mobility of the Lachmann-556 build. As you’ll be chopping in and out of combat, forgear, we recommend theGhost T/V Camopiece which will cloak detection by UAVs, enemy radar sources, and heartbeat sensors.
Take full advantage of the increased ammo capacity by opting for aMunitions Box. As forLethalandTacticalslots, as you’ll be hanging ever so slightly back it may be wise to opt for theSemtexas you’ll be able to utilise the timed sticky grenades more effectively than other teammates.EMD Grenadesis also a good pick as they can apply tracking devices on enemies, flagging them on teammate’s minimaps for follow-up shots.
