Warzone 2’s Sakin MG38 is a viable LMG option for long-range battles, and here’s everything that you need to create the best Sakin MG38 loadout for Warzone 2 Season 4.

When it comes to long-range fights in Warzone 2, you’ll have plenty of powerful weapons to choose from, including Sniper Rifles and LMGs that can be used to pick off enemies from a distance.

After getting a small buff back in the Season 3 Reloaded update, the Sakin MG38 continues to be a solid LMG choice to this day. You can improve it by equipping the right selection of attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Here’s the best Sakin MG38 loadout for Warzone 2 Season 4.

Best Warzone 2 Sakin MG38 loadout attachments

  • Barrel: 20″ Bruen Silver Series
  • Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
  • Optic: AIM OP-V4
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip

We’ll start off the best Warzone 2 Sakin MG38 loadout by buffing the weapon’s damage range and bullet velocity with the ZLR Talon 5 muzzle. Next, we’ll use the 20″ Bruen Silver Series barrel to increase its accuracy at range.

We’ve gone for the AIM OP-V4 optic for a nice clean sight that allows you to stay on target and the Edge-47 Grip for recoil stabilization. In order to improve the ADS speed of the Sakin, the FSS OLE-V Laser should do the job.

For your first Base Perk, we recommend using Double Time to move around the map faster. Selecting Bomb Squad as your second Base Perk will shield you from incoming explosive damage.

Fast Hands increases your weapon swapping and equipment usage speed. For your Ultimate Perk, it’s worth selecting Ghost as it will keep you hidden from enemy UAVs and Heartbeat Sensors.
