The Lachmann Shroud may not be king of the SMGs (that honor goes to the BAS-P), but this little suppressor-integrated spitfire hasn’t been around long, and has still skyrocketed to become a solid A-Tier weapon in the gun meta for Warzone and Modern Warfare.

Kit your Lachmann Shroud out with the best build (like the loadout you’ll find right here), and you’ll have yourself a deadly burst-firing beast, with top-notch mobility and lightning-fast ADS speed. The perfect partner for aggressive players.

Who knows, a loadout like this might even make you prefer the Lachmann Shroud to the ever-popular Lachmann Sub.

How do you unlock the Lachmann Shroud?

Rack up 30 hipfire kills with SMGs and you’ll unlock the Lachmann Shroud for your armory. Or, if you prefer, drop into DMZ mode and extract with the weapon, as an alternate means of getting the Lachmann Shroud for yourself.

Either way beats the old unlock method of completing challenges for sector Eo in Season 5’s Battle Pass.
 

What is the best Lachmann Shroud loadout in Warzone?

Attachments

Before you ask, no – this loadout will not turn the Lachmann Shroud into a fully automatic SMG. What it will do though, is optimize the heck out of the Shroud to complement its burst firing mode.

Basically, this build will increase the power of the Lachmann Shroud in close-quarters and mid-range combat.

With the 170mm Grapple VI barrel, we’re boosting the Lachmann Shroud’s damage range to give you more stopping power at distance. Meanwhile, the Lockgrip underbarrel and Lachmann TCG rear grip will both go a long way towards giving you better aiming stability and more recoil control.

Between those three attachments alone, you’ll be landing shots more consistently and creating a terrifying TTK with this Lachmann Shroud build.

The FT Mobile Stock will keep you as light on your feet as possible, supporting the run-and-gun playstyle every SMG user knows works best for a killer build, and with a chunkier mag on your side, you’ll never face the dreaded dead-man’s click when you bump into a bunch of enemies begging to take a dirt nap.

Perks and equipment

The best perks to support this stealthy, lethal 9m SMG are ones that help you fly around the battlefield, and plug the holes in your long-range game.

For that, there’s only a handful of choices we’d take into battle with a Lachmann Shroud loadout.

Take a trusty sniper or assault rifle as your second primary thanks to Overkill, and use a perk combination like Double Time, Fast Hands, and Ghost to keep you zipping through the enemy ranks like the Flash on a mission, accessing your long-range alt in the blink of an eye, and remaining largely undetected as you do so (especially thanks to this SMG’s integrated suppressor).

It’s a win win, with this kind of Lachmann Shroud build.

The only potential change we’d suggest to these perks is swapping in something like Battle Hardened or Bomb Squad instead of Overkill. But that’s only if you’re happy with the range of the Shroud as is.

Under no circumstances should you underestimate the powerhouse pairing of Ghost and the Lachmann Shroud’s in-built suppressor. Pair these two for ungodly plays that keep your enemies sweating.
