Call of Duty: Warzone 2 tests players' proficiency in various gunfight scenarios. The massive weapons arsenal provides a range of solutions for almost every combat situation, including close, medium, and long-range battles. One of those solutions includes the Sakin MG38, which creates favorable conditions while engaging in long-range gunfights.
A part of the Sakin MG platform, the Sakin MG38 is regarded as one of the best in the light machine gun (LMG) class due to its low recoil and excellent damage range. However, the performance of the base gun can be significantly improved by equipping it with a proper set of attachments.
As such, let's take a look at the best Sakin MG38 loadout that the players can use in Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded.
How to get the best long-range Sakin MG38 loadout for Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded
Activision published both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 to satisfy a massive shooter player base with its improved gameplay and combat mechanics. However, the developers must maintain a balanced playing field by introducing different weapon adjustments. These implementations are deployed through patches after considering metrics like game data and player feedback.
The Sakin MG38 is a hard-hitting Light Machine Gun (LMG) that offers significant damage output and bullet velocity. But it compensates for its power with a movement speed reduction and high recoil kick. Although this gun remains unlocked by default in Warzone 2, players will have to level it up to get the attachments needed for its best loadout.
Best Sakin MG38 weapon build
The Sakin MG38 boasts a high bullet velocity of 700 m/s and is an excellent weapon platform for long-range engagements. The gun has a huge 100-round magazine by default and can be perfect for lengthy fights. It can deal a total of 39 damage to headshots and 29 to the torso region at the longest range, which equates to an excellent 667ms TTK.
Players can get the best loadout for the Sakin MG38 by equipping it with the following attachments:
Recommended build
- Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
- Barrel: 20” Bruen Silver Series
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
- Rear Grip: Stip-40 Grip
Recommended tuning
- Sakin Tread-40: 0.41 vertical, 0.19 horizontal
- 20” Bruen Silver Series: 0.34 vertical, 0.18 horizontal
- AIM OP-V4: -0.58 vertical, -1.56 horizontal
- Edge-47 Grip: 0.71 vertical, 0.25 horizontal
- Stip-40 Grip: 0.46 vertical, 0.18 horizontal
The Sakin Tread-40 muzzle boosts horizontal and vertical recoil control but lowers the overall Aim Down Sight (ADS) speed and aiming stability. The 20” Bruen Silver Series barrel attachment boosts damage range, recoil control, bullet velocity, and hip fire accuracy.
The AIM OP-V4 optic attachment is a great choice for medium- and long-range gunfights. However, players can choose to swap it out for another one.
The Edge-47 Grip increases aiming idle stability and recoil stabilization but can reduce the overall ADS speed. The Stip-40 rear grip increases recoil control but reduces aiming stability.
It is important to note that this Sakin MG38 build focuses on maximizing its long-range capabilities alongside increasing its recoil control stats. Players can opt to tweak this setup further and create a loadout that perfectly fits their playstyle. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more Warzone 2 weapon build guides.
