• Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap
• Stock: Cheetah STM Stock
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV
• Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity

One of the main downsides to the Sakin MG30 is its speed when you need to use the sight or fire when sprinting. That’s why we recommend using the Bruen Q900 Grip Wrap which increases your sprint-to-fire speed and helps that slow aim down sight speed.

To complement this the Cheetah STM Stock is a fantastic choice with its increases in both your sprint speed and aiming while walking speed.

Another attachment we recommend using is the Schlager PEQ Box IV. This will again increase your ADS speed and get it up to scratch for when you need to react quickly.

With three attachments fixing the speed problems, it’s time to focus on damage and easier aiming. That’s why we recommend using the Cronen Mini Pro optic. It grants an unobstructed view and grants you pinpoint precision when aiming.

As for damage, the 7.62 High Velocity ammo will increase your bullet velocity and damage range, allowing you to shoot from longer distances and still pack a deadly punch.

The Sakin MG38 packs a sizeable punch but needs a little tweaking to reach its true potential.

• Base Perk 1: Tracker
• Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Lethal: Semtex
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

Since you’ll likely be up close and personal with the enemy, we recommend using Tracker and Battle Hardened. Tracker allows you to keep a close eye on the enemy while Battle Hardened keeps you safe from the many flashes and stuns flying about.

For the Bonus Perk, we suggest using Fast Hands to speed up that rather lengthy reload time and to allow you to switch weapons when you really need it.

The last Perk we recommend is Ghost. It doesn’t require much description and is undeniably one of the best Perks in Modern Warfare 2. It keeps you safe from enemy radars and will likely save your life.

When it comes to your Lethal and Tactical, Semtex and Flash Grenade to easily destroy and confuse the enemy depending on the situation.
