The LM-S is a powerful Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare 2 that excels in almost every stat except Fire Rate and Mobility. This rifle's superior Damage, Range, and Accuracy make it an excellent choice for sniping enemies from afar, and its high Handling and Recoil Control provide players with the dexterity they need to handle mid-range firefights. Accordingly, the LM-S is undoubtedly a powerhouse rifle in Modern Warfare 2 that can even be effective in close ranges, as long as users manage to fire the first shots.
To unlock the LM-S Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare 2, players must equip and use the Lachmann-762 until the armament reaches Level 17 in its weapon tree. The best sidearm to equip with the LM-S will be the X13 Auto or Side Impact. This secondary weapon will provide players with the Fire Rate and Mobility the LM-S lacks to deal with targets in close-quartered combat. An optimal Loadout would include the Medical Syringe for passive healing and the Semtex Lethal for easy room-clearing. With Dead Silence as the Field Upgrade, Tracker and Ghost are necessary Perks to hunt down enemy players stealthily, and Scavenger and Quick Fix offer ammo and HP sustainment.
When selecting modifications for the LM-S, players are advised to choose attachments that bolster its range if they prefer long-ranged sniping in Modern Warfare 2. Improving its Recoil Control and Handling is also recommended for better control of the weapon's fire. However, its Damage and Accuracy are already excellent, so they do not need to be modified.
