Best MW2 RAAL MG loadout

Our best MW2 RAAL MG loadout offsets the LMG’s notoriously low mobility with additional recoil control, without sacrificing aim down sight speed.

Best MW2 RAAL MG loadout: The RAAL MG, one of the best LMGs available in Modern Warfare 2, displayed in its case in the weapons gallery.

Curious about the best RAAL MG loadout for MW2? The RAAL-MG features on our list of the best Modern Warfare 2 LMGs, and for good reason. As with most LMGs, its rapid-fire performance means it boasts a high time-to-kill rate, and its damage output means you only need to get a few shots on target to take them out. The Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system grants you the opportunity to build off the RAAL MG’s robust base stats even further, in order to mitigate its comparatively low mobility.

Our MW2 RAAL MG loadout goes to great pains to avoid attachments that apply nerfs to your aim down sight speed, since this stat is absolutely crucial for landing precision shots with the RAAL MG. This weapon has been making a splash in Warzone 2, so it’s worth leveling it up in Modern Warfare 2 so you can customise it in the free PC game. It also opts for bonuses for recoil management and sprint speed, so that you can dominate the leaderboards of Activision’s FPS game. Without further ado, here’s the best RAAL MG loadout in MW2.

Best RAAL MG loadout attachments

The best MW2 RAAL MG loadout is:

  • Underbarrel: SA Side Grip
  • Muzzle: XRK Kraken
  • Magazine: 50 Round Belt Mag
  • Laser: FSS 0LE-V Laser
  • Stock: FSS Riot Stock

The SA Side Grip is hyper-specialised to provide additional support for your aim, with bonuses to aim walking steadiness, aiming idle stability, as well as recoil stabilisation. Next up is the XRK Kraken muzzle which mitigates vertical recoil so you’re not wrestling with the RAAL MG during sustained fire. Unfortunately, this does come with a hit to your aim down sight speed as well as your aiming stability, but the RAAL MG isn’t built for high precision shooting; if that’s more your style, the best Modern Warfare 2 sniper rifles are probably more to your taste in the long-term.

Attach the 50 Round Belt Mag to give yourself additional bullets to ensure you can take down several enemies without worrying about reloading. As for the best laser to pair with the RAAL MG, the FSS 0LE-V Laser is the clear winner. The bonus to aim down sight speed is the jewel in its crown, though it does offer additional aiming stability as well as sprint-to-fire speed. The only con to this laser is that it becomes visible while aiming down sight, so be wary of kitting yourself out with it for the Modern Warfare 2 modes where this could become an issue.

Finally, we’ve gone for the FFS Riot Stock to give you a further bonus to sprint speed and that ever-important aim down sight speed, which can make all the difference during quick and dirty firefights. However, expect to receive a knock to your recoil control to offset its benefits.

That’s everything we have for our best RAAL MG loadout in MW2. If you’ve decided to stick with this powerful LMG for the long haul, it’s worth checking out how to get gold in Modern Warfare 2 so you can tear through enemy combatants in style.
