Modern Warfare 2’s RAAL MG is an extremely effective LMG option that’s capable of dishing out pain in long-range battles. Here’s the best loadout for the RAAL MG in Modern Warfare 2 Season 5.

LMGs are a staple weapon category in Modern Warfare 2, acting as the long-range, high-damage alternatives to Assault Rifles, and there’s a wide selection for players to choose from.

Despite receiving a recoil nerf back in previous seasons, the RAAL MG has continued to dominate long-range battles in Modern Warfare 2. You can take full advantage of its capabilities with the right attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Here is the best RAAL MG loadout in Modern Warfare 2 Season 5.

Best Modern Warfare 2 RAAL MG loadout attachments

  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Muzzle: FTAC Dreadnought
  • Stock: FSS Riot Stock
  • Underbarrel: Demo Narrow Grip

We’ll start the best Modern Warfare 2 RAAL MG loadout by boosting the weapon’s bullet velocity and damage range with the FTAC Dreadnought Muzzle. Next, we’ll equip the FSS OLE-V Laser and FSS Riot Stock to buff the aim down sight speed.

Finally, the Demo Narrow Grip and Cronen Mini Pro Optic will increase accuracy and aiming stability. The recoil stabilization from these attachments will help you stay on target.

Best Modern Warfare 2 RAAL MG Perks & Equipment

  • Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
  • Lethal Equipment: Proximity Mine
  • Field Upgrade: Dead Silence

For Perks, Bomb Squad and Battle Hardened are great choices to start the game off, protecting you against enemy equipment. As the RAAL MG can take a while to reload, Fast Hands is a no-brainer, and Ghost will keep you off the radar while setting up the lines of sight you’ll need to dominate with the weapon.

The Flash Grenade is great for flushing rooms of players, while the Promimixty Mine will prevent enemies from creeping up on you. Lastly, as mobility isn’t great with the RAAL, Dead Silence will give you some extra speed and stealthiness when you need it.

How to unlock RAAL MG in Modern Warfare 2

The RAAL MG can be unlocked at Rank 25 in Modern Warfare 2, which shouldn’t be too much of a grind.

Make sure you take advantage of any Double XP Tokens you may have to level up as fast as possible and unlock the RAAL MG.

Best alternatives to the RAAL MG in Modern Warfare 2

If you’d like to try an Assault Rifle that also has long-range potential and low recoil, make sure you try out the STB 556. Or, you could try out the RPK, which is still a great and dominant LMG choice.
