Best Warzone 2 Sakin MG38 attachments
The Warzone 2 gunsmith contains a wealth of attachments capable of transforming any gun into an absolute beast. Although the mobility isn't great with the Sakin MG38, we've found a set of five that guarantees a fast time to kill in nearly every single scenario.
- Muzzle: Polarfire-S
- Barrel: 20" Bruen Silver Series Barrel
- Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV
- Optic: Aim OP-V4
- Underbarrel: Demo Firm Grip
Thanks to the Polarfire-S and the Demo Firm Grip underbarrel, recoil and stability are much lower, enabling you to maintain high accuracy when shooting at an opponent.
For a faster aim-down sight speed, the Schlager PEQ Box IV comes into its own, while the Aim OP-V4 optic provides a clear view of anyone in the distance. It's worth remembering you can see targets through smoke grenades which is very handy if anyone tries to escape your presence.
