When it comes to taking down enemies in one or two shots at any range in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there is hardly any other weapon that does it better than the Lachmann-762.

In Modern Warfare 2, the Lachmann-762 is the first weapon that gets unlocked in the Lachmann tech tree and is the equivalent of FTac Recon from the M4 platform. This battle rifle fires bullets of a higher caliber and is capable of killing enemies in the blink of an eye.

To eliminate an enemy with this rifle, players simply have to land a solid headshot or two torso shots. It should be noted that they will need three hit-registrations if one of their shots hits a limb.

Available in both semi and fully automatic firing modes, the semi-automatic mode is the recommended option for this weapon, as the recoil is quite substantial in the automatic mode. However, in close quarters, players can use the weapon's automatic firing mode for a swift quick elimination.

The Lachmann-762 suffers from major recoil issues while being used. This recoil gets even worse when the gun's automatic firing mode is enabled. As such, players need to use the following attachments to mitigate the battle rifle's disadvantages:

  • Muzzle - Polarfire Suppressor
  • Barrel - 15.9" Lachmann Rapp Barrel
  • Optics - Chronen Mini Red Dot
  • Stock - Meer Recoil-56 Factory Stock
  • Rear Grip - LMK64 Grip

Currently, this is the best build for the battle rifle and is highly optimized to reduce its recoil. The Polarfire Suppressor, manufactured by Tempus Armament, provides improvements to bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil smoothness, while suppressing the sound produced when the bullet leaves the barrel.

The Rapp barrel further improves upon the bullet velocity of the gun while reduring the recoil by a significant margin. The recoil decreases even more when players attach the Meer Recoil-56 Factory Stock to this rifle. Additionally, the LMK64 Grip reduces the sprint to fire and aim-down-sights time of the gun, making it quite snappy.

At the end of the day, optics are strictly a personal choice for players and they should always choose the one they are most comfortable with. Nevertheless, the Chronen Mini Red Dot is an excellent option for this gun.

With these attachments, this is the best build for the Lachmann-762 in most of Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer game modes. However, if players wish to use the gun on any of the larger maps in the title, especially the Ground War and Invasion modes, then it is recommended to use the following attachments:

  • Muzzle - Sakin Thread-40 Comp
  • Barrel - Romeo FT 16" Barrel
  • Optics - Hybrid Firepoint
  • Rear Grip - LMK64 Grip
  • Underbarrel - Lockgrip Precision-40
