Recommended Game Modes

Hardpoint

In general, the Lachmann Sub excels in fast-paced game modes held in small maps. This submachine gun is capable of melting enemies at close range if bullets are aimed directly at the chest and upwards. In Hardpoint, enemy players will be grouped up in objective areas, making it easier to get multi-frags.

Given its decent clip capacity of 30 bullets per magazine, the Lachmann Sub will have you leading the leaderboards during Hardpoint matches. Make sure to equip a run-and-gun setup for this weapon when entering matchmaking in Hardpoint.

Domination

Domination is another fast-paced game mode where enemy activity is concentrated on at least 1 or 2 areas of the map. The Lachmann Sub is a great weapon for penetrating strongholds as it can decimate enemies out in the open with its impressive fire rate.

Make use of the Lachmann Sub's damage output in short to mid range encounters. It would be helpful to use equipments that can stun enemies and perks that increase survivability.

Kill Confirmed

Kill Confirmed is a kills-based game mode that require players to retrieve dog tags to secure kills. From that description alone, the Lachmann Sub would be an execellent choice for its sheer firepower. Apart from that, its outstanding mobility makes it the ideal weapon to wield for the fast-paced nature of Kill Confirmed.

When preparing your loadout for this game mode, maximize the damage output and hip fire accuracy of the Lachmann Sub as you will be encountering a lot of short to close range gunfights.

Recommended Maps

El Asilo

El Asilo is a map filled with tight spaces and locations perfect for the Lachmann Sub's range. Enemy contact will be conentrated on the main building found in the middle of the map. Players are recommended to play aggressively but maintain caution as traps such as claymores might be placed by enemy players.

Designed for the core 6v6 matches in multiplayer, El Asilo along with a run-and-gun setup for the Lachmann Sub is a match made in heaven.

Mercado Las Almas

Mercado Las Almas is another small map designed for small-scale game modes perfect for the Lachmann Sub's firepower. Given that the player can navigate through the entire map fairly quickly, preparing a loadout focused on hip fire accuracy and damage output can help secure multiple frags.

An aggressive playstyle will be preferred for this map so make sure to equip a perk package that boosts survivability. Also make sure to have more ambitious killstreaks lined up to really feel the rewards of using the Lachmann Sub in this map.

Al Bagra Fortress

The Lachmann Sub submachine gun also thrives in Al Bagra Fortress as the player will rarely encounter long range gunfights. This map is fairly simple to navigate through so always have your weapon ready for a gunfight. With tha said, make sure to equip attachments that will improve sprint to aim speed to edge out opponents that will most likely be using SMGs or shotguns.

To find the most value out of this weapon and map, try playing aggressively and push enemy spawns. Posting up in areas where hostiles are surely to pass can guarantee free kills as you work your way towards killstreaks.
