The Season 3 Reloaded patch of Warzone 2 is currently live and has brought in new playable content alongside some weapon adjustments. Along with a set of new weapons and cosmetics, Activision also introduced a new map exclusively as an exclusion zone for the DMZ mode.

When it comes to the close-range gunfights in Warzone 2, SMGs are the best in the business. Among all the SMGs in the armory, there is one which stands above the rest when it comes to raw TTK and movement stats. The gun in question is the Lachmann Sub and it still stands at the top of the SMG meta since the nerf of Fennec 45 in Season 2 patch.

As such, here is the best loadout for the Lachmann Sub in Warzone 2.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 recently received their third mid-seasonal update. The developers introduced a few tweaks to some of the weapons from the Sub Machine Gun category. The adjustments were made to the three most popular Sub Machine Guns - Vaznev-9k, BAS-P, and Lachmann Sub.

The Lachmann Sub, in particular, has received a very specific buff that improves the minimum armor damage in the burst fire mode. Although the buff only applies to a burst barrel attachment, it does improve the overall lethality of a gun that is already very powerful.

The Lachmann Sub is one of the most beloved weapons from the Lachmann & Meer weapons platform. It is an excellent choice for close-quarter combat and can be modified to take medium-range gunfights. Unfortunately, the overwhelming success rate of the Fennec 45 overshadowed this weapon in Season 1.

However, currently, it is the best close-range SMG in the game and boasts a jaw-dropping 549ms TTK in CQC gunfights. The recommended loadout for this gun is as follows:

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
  • Laser: Point-G3P 04
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10

Recommended tuning:

  • Point-G3P 04: -0.36 vertical, -29.61 horizontal
  • Bruen Pendulum: Default
  • FSS Sharkfin 90: Default
  • Lachmann TCG-10: Default

The Bruen Pendulum muzzle increases horizontal and vertical recoil control. It takes a toll on the overall Aim Down Sight (ADS) speed and aiming stability. The Point-G3P 04 laser increases hip fire accuracy, hip recoil control, and sprint-to-fire speed with no adverse effects.

The FSS Sharkfin 90 increases aiming idle stability, offsetting one of the cons of the muzzle attachment. The 40 Round Magazine increases the ammo count per magazine and helps players take on extended gunfights. The Lachmann TCG-10 boosts recoil control and affects the aiming stability of the weapon.

Metaphor’s weapon build for the Lachmann Sub is focused on increasing mobility alongside accuracy without hurting its stability and recoil control. It is important to note that this is not the fastest or the highest damage output weapon build.

With Season 4 being just on the horizon, players are wondering if this powerful SMG will still be the meta of its category or if will it be nerfed to the ground like Fennec 45.
