Meta Sakin MG38 Attachments in Warzone 2
The TY-LR8 is our muzzle of choice for the Sakin MG38, as it reduces horizontal recoil by 27% and vertical recoil by 7%. If you haven’t unlocked it yet, the SA Leveler 55 or Bore-490 are also great muzzles for his LMG!
The 20″ Bruen Silver Series Barrel is by far the best Sakin MG38 barrel. It increases your bullet velocity by 19.8% and also reduces recoil by 9%. However, it slows down your ADS speed and movement slightly.
We recommend using the Schlager 3.4x optic on any long-range gun in Warzone 2. However, if you prefer lower magnification, then the Aim OP-V4 is a great sight for closer ranges.
The Bruen Warrior LMG provides an additional 4.5% vertical and horizontal recoil reduction at the cost of just 20ms additional ADS time, which is barely even noticeable in-game.
Finally, the 7.62 High Velocity ammunition increases the Sakin MG38’s bullet velocity by a huge 44%, making it a must-have attachment!
