Best RAAL MG loadout and class setup in Modern Warfare 2

Bring some earplugs with you.

One of Modern Warfare 2019’s favorite LMGs is back in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it’s an early favorite for top LMG in the arsenal. Say hello to the RAAL MG, and we’ve got the best loadout, attachments, perks, and equipment.

RAAL stands for Reconnaissance Auxiliary Assault Lightweight Machine Gun. That’s a mouthful, and that’s exactly what you’ll be dealing to your enemies in MW2 multiplayer matches—a mouthful of high-caliber bullets.

The RAAL MG “uses titanium construction, low fire rate and a reciprocating barrel to mitigate the powerful .338 recoil,” says its in-game description. And boy, oh boy, does this thing have a ton of that recoil.

Not only that, but it will slow you down in a big way, with some of the lowest weapon mobility in the game. This one’s not for the run-and-gun players. This LMG is all about posting up and holding down a location and suppressing the enemy with constant fire.

Here’s the best way to load up the RAAL MG for success in MW2.

The RAAL MG might be the loudest gun known to mankind in any video game ever made, so we don’t recommend having your volume cranked while slaying out with this LMG. But it’s definitely a good one to use in multiplayer matches.

This gun’s mobility is a lost cause because buffing that will make it almost unusable thanks to lowering stats of other, more important aspects. These attachments will help out the RAAL’s damage, range, accuracy, and recoil control, turning it into a chain gun that will just blow through the competition. You just have to be careful how you position yourself because more agile players will be able to outmaneuver you quite easily.

The RAAL MG is incredibly fun to wreak havoc with on small maps like Shipment and Shoot House. Just find your favorite corner or head-glitch spot, mount up, and fire like you’ve never fired before. We hear it even helps deal more damage if you scream bloody murder into your microphone for all of your teammates to hear.

If the enemy can only hear gunfire, they likely won’t be able to function.
