The Sakin MG38 is the starting light machine gun in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
It belongs to the Sakin MG Platform and offers you a devastating combination of high fire rate, large magazine capacity, moderate recoil, and commendable damage.
The Sakin MG38 will be unlocked by default when you first start Warzone 2. By leveling it up though, you will unlock loads of new options to customize the LMG based on your gameplay preference.
The following guide will tell you the best Sakin MG38 loadout in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
Best Sakin MG38 loadout, attachments, tunings
| Slot | Attachment | Unlock Requirement | Attachment Tuning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muzzle | ZLR Talon 5 | TAQ-M level 22 | +1.40 ⮃ and +1.00 ⮀ |
| Barrel | 20“Bruen Silver Series | Sakin MG38 level 16 | +0.45 ⮃ and -0.40 ⮀ |
| Optic | Aim OP-V4 | BAS-P level 5 | -2.89 ⮃ and +0.00 ⮀ |
| Underbarrel | Phase-3 Grip | Vaznev-9K level 9 | +0.80 ⮃ and +0.40 ⮀ |
| Laser | FSS DLE-V Laser | EBR-14 level 10 |
To avoid getting spotted, a good sound suppressor such as ZLR Talon 5 can be used. Weapon Stability and range can also be enhanced with the help of the same Muzzle Attachment.
Furthermore, the Sakin MG38, surprisingly, offers better mobility than a standard LMG. This means that there’s room to tune that down to bump up other stats. The 20“Bruen Silver Series Barrel sacrifices a bit of the movement speed you have to in turn further decrease recoil, while also increasing the bullet velocity and damage range – a fair trade.
Who doesn’t want a good vision for long-range targets? AIM OP-V4 optic attachment can be the best choice for all precision aiming. The ADS speed can be further enhanced by using the FSS DLE-V Laser attachment.
Using Phase-3 Grip, the aiming accuracy can be further increased as well as Hip Fire Accuracy.
