Light Machine Guns are often made into a somewhat unwieldy piece of weapon in various FPSes for the sake of balancing. However, in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you can make a very accurate LMG that’s still as deadly as ever and will surely surprise your opponents. To achieve those stats, here are two of the best COD: Modern Warfare 2 Sakin MG38 Loadout builds that you can try out yourselves.

1. Max Damage Sakin MG38 Loadout

The first Loadout that you can try is from the YouTuber Tourva. Since the gun is unlocked from the start and ends up underrated, this build should buff the weapon’s control and its damage as well, making it an extremely devastating gun despite its high fire rate. Don’t forget to Tune the Attachments too, to maximize their potential. In the COD: Modern Warfare 2 Sakin MG38 video above, the Loadout breakdown starts at 0:58 minute.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Kastovia DX90 (Tuning: ADS Speed: -1.40 oz)
  • Barrel: 20″ Bruen Silver Series (Tuning: ADS Speed: -0.40 in)
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90 (Tuning: ADS Speed: -0.80 oz)
  • Stock: Sakin Riptide Stock (Tuning: ADS Speed: -4.00 oz)
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap

2. High Accuracy and Speed Sakin MG38 Build

Then the second one is from YouTuber Speros, who has made a comparison between LMGs vs. Assault Rifles and builds for three different LMGs: RAAL, HCR 56, and Sakin MG38. Speros mentioned that for Laser and Optic, it’s up to your situation and personal preferences. In the COD: Modern Warfare 2 Sakin MG38 video above, the Loadout breakdown starts at 5:15 minute.

  • Optic: Slimline Pro
  • Underbarrel: Sakin Side Grip
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Stock: Cheetah STM Stock
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap

The Best Perks and Equipment For Sakin MG38

  • Perk 1: Battle Hardened / Scavenger / Double Time
  • Perk 2: Bomb Squad
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands / Hardline
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost / Overclock / Quick Fix
  • Equipment:
  • Lethal: Frag Grenades / Semtex / Drill Charges
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade / Flash Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System

LMG has lots of bullets in their mags (100 rounds for MG38), so Overkill could be pretty redundant, and ditching it shouldn’t be much of a problem. Instead, you’ll want to increase your survivability on the map thanks to Battle Hardened and Bomb Squad. Then you can get Fast Hands to speed up your reload or Hardline for faster Killstreaks. Then use Ghost to avoid detection or Overclock for more Trophy System for your Field Upgrades.

  • Lethal: Frag Grenades / Semtex / Drill Charges
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade / Flash Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Trophy System
