Best Modern Warfare 3 Lachmann 556 attachments
The Modern Warfare 3 gunsmith contains all kinds of attachments capable of influencing the performance of the Lachmann 556. After some testing, we've uncovered a set of five that dominates mid-range gunfights:
- Barrel: Lachmann Nova
- Optic: Slimline Pro
- Stock: Lachmann S76 Factory Stock
- Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Grain
- Rear Grip: LMK64 Grip
The Lachmann Nova barrel delivers increases in bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil control resulting in minimal drop-off when shooting a target. With recoil already low, the Lachmann S76 Factory Stock and LMK64 Grip improve sprint speed, aim-down sight time, and sprint-to-fire speed guaranteeing the fastest reaction times throughout a match.
Further damage increases come from the 5.56 High Grain Rounds that ensure a low time to kill is always maintained.
For a clear view of the action and any targets you want to eliminate with the Lachmann 556, the Slimline Pro provides a precise red dot that makes it very easy to track targets.

Best Modern Warfare 3 Lachmann 556 perks and equipment
Once the best Lachmann 556 attachments are ready for battle, finding a set of perks and equipment that complement your style of play is the next step to building the perfect loadout. Here are our recommendations based on the current Season 1 meta.
Perks
- Vest: Infantry
- Gloves: Commando
- Helmet: Ghost T/V Camo
- Boots: Stalker
The Infantry vest provides an increase in Tactical Sprint length, in addition to reducing its cooldown time. Commando gloves enhance mobility even further thanks to the ability to reload while sprinting.
Next is Ghost T/V Camo as our helmet choice. While moving around, conceal your location from any enemy UAVs patrolling the skies.
Last and by no means least are the Stalker boots. Faster aim-down sight speeds guarantee fast reaction times, while quicker strafe speeds make it easier to track a moving target.
Equipment
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
The combination of Semtex and Flash Grenade is incredibly versatile. Use the Semtex for some additional explosive damage and to disrupt the vision of nearby opponents, and throw the Flash Grenade for a temporary distraction to score the kill with the Lachmann 556 in hand.
