Among the competent assault rifle in Modern Warfare 2, the Lachmann 556 is among the best in the business. Plenty of players are already considering this rifle as the successor to Grau 5.56 from the previous title of the series.

  • Magazine - 40-Round Mag

The setup for Lachmann-556 is mainly optimized for improved recoil control and stability while firing.

The Echoline GS-X muzzle improves the recoil smoothness, thus reducing the visual recoil of the gun while firing. Along with this, the muzzle attachments also reduce the sound produced by the gun when the bullet leaves the barrel.

The Lach-12 is one of the smaller barrels available for the gun. It increases the weapon's aim-down-sight and movement speed by a significant margin. This barrel will improve the response time of the operators and make the gun snappier.

The Sharkfin underbarrel will improve the aim idle stability of the gun, thus reducing the gun's sway while the operators are aiming down the sight.

Along with these three attachments, the AR must be equipped with a 40-round mag to improve the weapon's performance. The gun eats through bullets quite quickly due to its high fire rate. As such, an extended magazine is necessary for optimal performance.

Lastly, Chronen Mini Red-dot provides a clean red-dot sight for the gun and helps aim in on targets in close to medium-range gunfight engagements. However, players can choose any other sight available according to their preference. Choosing optics is a very personal choice for players, and they should always use whatever they are comfortable with.


This is the best build for Lachmann-556 in Modern Warfare 2. It will provide users with an assault rifle with a sub-machine gun-like mobility and response time, making it one of the best ARs for any of the smaller maps of the title.
