Best Modern Warfare 3 Lachmann Sub attachments

After some extensive testing, we've found a set of five Lachmann Sub attachments that are excellent when combined to improve various areas of the Lachmann Sub:

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor
  • Barrel: FTAC M-Sub 12"
  • Stock: FT Mobile Stock
  • Underbarrel: FTAC MSP-98 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10

Kicking things off is the Sonic Suppressor which conceals your location from the minimap when firing the SMG in addition to increasing bullet velocity and damage range. For even more damage increases, the FTAC M-Sub 12" barrel enhances mid-range firepower even further.

Next is the FT Mobile Stock for a slight reduction in aim-down sight speed and less sway when aiming with the Lachmann Sub. The lack of sway makes it much easier to hit the target.

For a reduction in recoil, the FTAC MSP-98 Handstop is the underbarrel attachment to go with in addition to the Lachmann TCG-10 rear grip which turns the Lachmann Sub into a laserbeam with minimal kick.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Lachmann Sub perks and equipment

Once the best Lachmann Sub attachments are ready for battle, finding a combination of perks and equipment that complement your style of play is the next step to building the very best loadout. Here are our Pre-Season recommendations.

Perks

  • Vest: Infantry
  • Gloves: Commando
  • Gear: EOD Padding
  • Boots: Covert Sneakers
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System

The Infantry vest suits running and gunning perfectly thanks to the longer Tactical Sprint and the reduced refresh rate. Marksman gloves reduce any unnecessary sway and flinch while aiming down the sights of the Lachmann Sub, ensuring high levels of accuracy are maintained.

Next is EOD Padding which increases explosive resistance. This is particularly handy if a grenade lands close by during a match. Lastly, Covert Sneakers silence your footsteps, allowing you to sneak behind enemy lines without any audio alerting them to your location.

For our Field Upgrade, we've selected the Trophy System to block up to three pieces of enemy equipment.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

The sticky nature of Semtex allows you to score extra eliminations by glueing the explosive to an opponent. Alternatively, you can stick it to any land-based vehicles to destroy them without wasting much ammunition.

Smoke grenades are just as useful. Throw one onto an objective while capturing it for some temporary cover or as a distraction so you can move to a new position relatively undetected.

Is the Modern Warfare 3 Lachmann Sub meta?

With so many SMGs to choose from, it's hard to tell whether the Lachmann Sub will feature among the best guns and weapons. If the Modern Warfare 2 cycle was anything to go by, we expect it to be towards the top tiers.
