Cronen Mini Pro being a universal attachment will suit best the SAKIN MG38, providing you with an accurate vision with its Precision Sight Picture. However, at the expense of a low ADS Speed.
The Bore-490 Muzzle is a well-balanced attachment that will do wonders for this modern warfare 2 class setup, giving you with both horizontal and vertical recoil control.
Using both Schlager PEQ Box IV and the Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap, you will receive an additional boost to your ADS Speed. Bruen Silver Series Barrel increases your damage range and Hip Fire Accuracy.
Best secondary weapon
As a secondary weapon, you will be using X12 which is a semi-auto 9mm pistol. The design of this pistol is inspired by the real-life Glock 17.
This weapon is unlocked quite early in the game, and you must reach Level 31 in Military Ranks to achieve it. The X12 Handgun allows you to attach a Laser to it due to its integrated rail, making it a useful ally in critical situations.
Best perks and equipment
Scavenger will be your primary perk as it refills ammo from dead players. To receive the traits of Tac Resist/Tactical Mask and Hard Wired, the best perk used is Battle Hardened, as it provides you resistance to flash, stun, EMP, and gas effects.
If you are looking to lower the number of kills to achieve a killstreak, then the best option for you is Hardline.
The ultimate Perk, Bird’s Eye will ping the enemy’s location on the map, giving you a chance to use stealth on them.
Stun Grenades will be best used in situations where you want to flee from the scene to escape the damage. Pairing it with the Semtex will be quite deadly for the opponents.
