Warzone 2.0 brings all of MW2’s LMGS into Al-Mazrah,Ashika Island, and Vondel but which should you be using? Here, we rank the best LMG in Warzone 2.

LMGs are unique weapons that can excel in the right situation. They sacrifice weapon handling and mobility in favor of a fast TTK and a huge magazine. These beasts are perfect for taking down multiple players in quick succession or suppressing an opposing team.

But, with six unique LMGs to pick from, it can be difficult to make the call on which you should drop with. They all have their own strengths and are best suited to different playstyles.

We’re ranking them all from worst to best, as well as recommending attachments. Here’s our ranking of the best LMG in Warzone 2.

6. Sakin MG38

Best Sakin MG38 Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: Polarfire-S (-0.70, +0.46)
Barrel: 20″ Bruen Silver Series (+0.34, +0.18)
Optic: AIM OP-V4 (_0.71, +0.25)
Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip (+0.46, +0.18)
Rear Grip: STIP-40 Grip (+0.71, +0.25)

The Sakin MG38 is still a fine weapon, but it’s more a matter of other LMGs improving. Players can still expect a top-tier TTK speed, but it comes with a massive trade-off with slow mobility.

5. RAAL MG

Best RAAL MG Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: Shred CP90 (+0.44, +0.16)
Barrel: 21″ EXF Rhino Barrel (+0.42, -0.34)
Laser: Corio LAZ-44 V3 (+0.39, +32.90)
Optic: Aim OP-V4 (+0.58, +1.80)
Underbarrel: XRK Dune Grip (+0.36, +0.28)

The RAAL MG packs a walloping punch, but its blistering fast TTK speed no longer dominates other weapons as it used to. A weaker damage profile and painfully slow mobility make the RAAL MG extremely unusable in most situations.

4. 556 Icarus

Best 556 Icarus Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: Harbinger D20 (+1.04, +0.61)
Optic: Aim OP-V4 (-1.35, +1.80)
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper (+0.34, +0.26)
Ammunition: 5.5 High Velocity (-0.34, -4.06)
Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip (+0.68, +0.36)

The 556 Icarus is effectively the M4’s big brother with handling stats closer to an AR than an LMG. Its recoil can be difficult to get used to but it’s arguably one of the only LMGs suited for more aggressive playstyles.

3. RPK

Best RPK Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: TY-LR8 (+0.77, +0.18)
Optic: Aim OP-V4 (+2.39, 0.00)
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.46, -0.27)
Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity (-0.45, +3.19)
Rear Grip: Demo X2 Grip (+0.48, +0.17)

Once the king of Warzone 2, the RPK has fallen off in popularity following a series of nerfs. Even after the nerfs it is still a fine choice though thanks to its fast reload relative to its magazine size and above average handling for an LMG. Just be aware that the RPK has much more recoil than it used to.

2. HCR 56

Best HCR 56 Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: XTen Ported 290 (+0.46, +0.17)
Optic: Aim OP-V4 (+1.77, 0.00)
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.57, +0.28)
Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity (-0.41, -2.03)
Rear Grip: Stip-40 Grip (+0.65, +0.29)

The HCR 56 was widely regarded as one of the best long-range meta weapons in Season 4. The mid-season update knocked the easy-to-use LMG down a peg, but it is still a great option. Somewhat fast mobility and a laser-accurate recoil pattern elevate the HCR 56 above other class options.

1. Rapp H

Best Rapp H Warzone 2.0 loadout

Muzzle: Tempus GH50 (+0.59, +0.29)
Optic: Aim OP-V4 (+0.87, 0,00)
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.49, -0.25)
Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity (-0.50, +6.10)
Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10 (+0.48, +0.19)

After the Season 4 Reloaded update, the Rapp H’s 900 ms TTK ranks third among long-range meta weapons. An extremely fast fire rate and easy-to-control recoil pattern not only makes the RAPP H the best LMG in Warzone 2, but one of the best weapons in the game.

That rounds off the best LMGs in Warzone 2.0 right now. Be sure to check back in the future because as the meta shifts, so will this list.
