The player has found a way to unlock it Modern Warfare 2 MP5 In beta, though the gun is locked. Known as the Lachmann Sub in MW2, the MP5 can be unlocked via the improved Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system, but you need to think outside the box as the unlock method is a bit unorthodox.
By choosing a specific loadout and perk combination in an FPS game, You can earn MP5 by upgrading your assault rifle in the same range of weapons. The popular submachine gun has made a comeback in most modern Call of Duty games, so it’s no wonder fans have found a way to equip this weapon after a few days. If you want to unlock MP5 for yourself in the Modern Warfare 2 beta, here’s how.
How to unlock Modern Warfare 2 MP5 during beta
In order to unlock MP5 in Modern Warfare 2 beta, you need to create a new loadout. The most important thing to make sure is that you choose Overkill as the perk, because the Overkill perk allows you to carry a second primary weapon instead of a secondary weapon.
You will also need to equip the Expedite 12 Shotgun as your primary weapon, as the Lachman-556 Assault Rifle will be automatically assigned as your second primary weapon, but is currently unavailable in beta.
At this point, you need to get in and get some kills before equipping the MP5. MP5 can only be unlocked by upgrading the Lachmann-556 AR to level 13. Level 13 unlocks the Lach-9 receiver and Lachmann SMG variant – in other words, the MP5.
Simple as it is, it’s a bug, so it’s possible to patch it for the rest of the Modern Warfare 2 beta. While as one of the most popular weapons in COD history, hopefully this won’t happen, we’re closely monitoring the situation. No changes have been spotted in the patch so far, but Infinity Ward is working on fixing the nerfed slide cancellation workaround.
