How to Unlock Lachmann Guns in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2
Unlocking the various Lachmann weapons in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 requires a bit of dedication and understanding of the game’s progression system. The key isn’t just about leveling up your player profile; it’s about leveling specific weapons within the Lachmann family. In a nutshell, you unlock Lachmann guns by leveling up other Lachmann guns. This interconnected progression adds a layer of strategy to your loadout choices. Let’s break down exactly how you get your hands on these potent weapons.
Unlocking the Lachmann Sub (MP5)
The Lachmann Sub, often referred to as the MP5 by the community due to its real-world counterpart, is a highly sought-after SMG. To unlock it, you can’t simply level your profile. Here’s the process:
-
Reach Account Level 16: You first need to gain enough experience to reach account level 16. This unlocks access to the Lachmann-762 battle rifle.
-
Unlock the Lachmann-762: This is where it begins. You must achieve account level 16 to get access to the Lachmann-762.
-
Level the Lachmann-556 to Level 12: Next, you’ll need the Lachmann-556, which is unlocked by leveling the Lachmann-762 to level 13. Once you have it, use it in multiplayer matches until it reaches level 12.
-
The Lachmann Sub is Yours: Upon reaching level 12 with the Lachmann-556, the Lachmann Sub (MP5) will become available for use. This means you’ve gone through the necessary steps to unlock the sought-after SMG.
This interconnected system means you need to use the Lachmann-762 first, then transition to the Lachmann-556, to eventually unlock the Lachmann Sub (MP5).
Unlocking the Lachmann Shroud
The Lachmann Shroud is another highly regarded SMG, and its unlock method is different from the Sub. Here’s how to obtain it:
-
Complete Battle Pass Sector E0 Challenges: This is the first step. You need to complete all four initial challenges in Sector E0 of the Battle Pass. These challenges vary, so keep an eye on the specific tasks.
-
Get 30 Operator Hip-Fire Kills with SMGs: After completing the Battle Pass challenges, you need to get 30 kills using hip-fire with any SMG. This requirement encourages aggressive play and close-quarter engagements.
Unlocking Other Lachmann Guns
The Lachmann-556 and Lachmann-762 themselves are unlocked through basic account progression. The Lachmann-762 unlocks at account level 16 and as previously mentioned, the Lachmann-556 is unlocked by leveling the Lachmann-762 to level 13. The Lachmann Shroud is unlocked through the Battle Pass challenges in addition to SMG Hip-Fire Kills.
Why the Lachmann System?
The Lachmann weapon family is designed around a progression system that mirrors real-world firearms development, referencing Heckler & Koch (HK) weapons. “Lachmann” itself is a German surname that loosely translates to “laugher”. This connection to real firearms and German engineering is a nod to the history and design inspiration behind these weapons.
