• Muzzle – XTEN Razor Comp

Our best Lachmann Sub loadout starts out with the XTEN Razor Comp muzzle, which enhances both vertical and horizontal recoil management of the SMG. That aside, you can use the VLK LZR 7MW laser to enhance ADS speed.

• Base Perk 1 – Battle Hardened
• Base Perk 2 – Bomb Squad
• Bonus Perk – Fast Hands

• Lethal Equipment – Drill Charge
• Tactical Equipment – Flash Grenade
• Field Upgrade – Dead Silence

For Perks, we suggest going with the Battle Hardened and Bomb Squad. Battle Hardened lets you withstand numerous thrown devices, while Bomb Squad offers a small but critical defense against Flash Bangs and Stuns.

Fast Hands enhances the reload speed of the weapon while Ghost ensures you remain hidden from enemy detection. Lastly, we have the Drill Charge, Flash Grenade, and Dead Silence. Drill Charges can detonate players behind surfaces, Flash Grenades impair foes’ vision, while Dead Silence complements well with any SMG loadout.

Best weapons to pair with the MP5 in MW2 

So you already have the MP5 and you’re seeking reliable weapons to pair it with? Below we’ve listed the best guns to pair with the MP5 in Modern Warfare 2

Signal 50 Sniper Rifle

While the MP5 is an incredibly accurate tool, its damage potential still falls off somewhat at long ranges. If you want a weapon that can cover any distance and deal overwhelming one-shot damage, the Signal 50 is exactly what you need. Modern Warfare 2’s first Sniper Rifle is the best choice for popping heads at ranges that the MP5 struggles with. 

X13 Auto Handgun

The MP5 works so well in almost every area that focusing too much on a secondary main weapon can feel redundant. It is entirely valid to pass up Overkill and choose basic perks that will more fully benefit the MP5, in which case the X13 serves fine as a last-resort alternative.
