The LM-S is a great Marksman Rifle that can be used to pick off enemies in long-range combat, and we’ve got everything that you need to create the best loadout for it in Modern Warfare 2 Season 5.

Modern Warfare 2 has a large arsenal of powerful weapons that are available to use in the Call of Duty title, including the LM-S Marksman Rifle.

This weapon is capable of taking out enemies with two shots to the body and just one to the head. You can make it even more powerful with the right selection of attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Here’s the best LM-S Loadout for Modern Warfare 2 Season 5.

The LM-S is a reliable Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare Season 5.
  • Muzzle: Polafire Suppressor
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
  • Optic: SZ Lonewolf Optic
  • Stock: FT Mobile Stock
  • Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10

Our Modern Warfare 2 LM-S utilizes the Polafire Suppressor for the boost it provides to damage range and bullet velocity. The FSS Sharkfin 90 and the Lachmann TCG-10 bring the recoil and idle sway under control.

You can then take advantage of the improved accuracy by equipping the SZ Lonewolf Optic as you pick off enemies during medium-range gunfights. Finally, we’ll cap off this loadout with the FT Mobile Stock to improve the LM-S’s mobility.

Best Perks & Equipment for Modern Warfare 2 LM-S loadout

  • Base Perk 1: Overkill
  • Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Ghost
  • Lethal Equipment: Proximity Mine
  • Tactical Equipment: Stim

For our first Perk, we went with Overkill so that you can run an SMG for close-range encounters, and Battle Hardened will let you tank explosives as well as flash and stun grenades from enemies.

When it comes time to pick your Bonus Perk, Fast Hands is the way to go since it allows you to reload quickly. For your final Ultimate Perk, you can use Ghost as a great choice as it hides you from the enemy’s UAV.

The Proximity Mine can be used to surprise enemies that get too close to your sniping spot, and you’ll need the Stim for a health boost if you take a few shots while holding an angle.

Best LM-S alternatives in Modern Warfare 2

A great alternative to the LM-S is the SP-R 208, as this powerful Marksman Rifle has more mobility than many of the game’s Sniper Rifles. Coupling this with its solid range and one-shot potential makes it an ideal choice.
