Loadout

Call Of Duty_ Modern Warfare 2 - Sakin MG38 in Firing Range

This build for this weapon is great, but it can be better with a strong loadout. The biggest points of this loadout are the options to help with movement, ammo, reloading, and staying in the fight. Let's take a look at the loadout options.

Name

Description

Tactical

Flash Grenade

You will want the advantage of the enemy not seeing you, so take a Flash Grenade to give you this advantage. You could also choose a Smoke Grenade here to help you escape or to throw on top of the enemy and fire into it hoping you can hit and down them.

Lethal

Drill Charge

Is that enemy behind cover and not coming out? Use a Drill Charge to explode on the side of the wall they are hiding behind. A Frag Grenade or Semtex is also a great option here, which can be useful in similar circumstances.

Perk Packages

Double Time, Scavenger, Fast Hands, and Quick Fix

Movement is so important, especially when you are carrying a heavy weapon. Use Double Time to help you get around. Scavenger will allow you to loot ammo off enemies, so you can keep fighting. Fast Hands will help with those pesky Light Machine Gun reload times, while Quick Fix will give you health regeneration after each kill to ensure you can continue laying down that firepower.

Field Upgrades

Smoke Airdrop and Portable Radar

If you like the idea of using Smoke Grenades to escape or attack the enemy, bring along a Smoke Airdrop as an extra source of dropping smoke to get away or take out the enemy. The Portable Radar can also prove to be useful when holding down a position and needing to know where the enemy may be entering from in close proximity.

The majority of these loadout options can be left up to personal preference, but the Double Time, Fast Hands, Scavenger, and Quick Fix options are a must if you are going to be moving, in long-life firefights, and using a Light Machine Gun.
