The Sakin MG38 is a powerful LMG, which carries 100 round mags, some strange damage, velocity and rate of fire. It is the most typical LMG when players think of the calibre these heavy weapons bring. The weapon is a fairly long grind, and the challenges of the weapon are slightly hard to do. However, we have tips and tricks to make it much easier to complete the Sakin MG38 Camo Challenges in MW2.

Here is a look at the Sakin MG38 camo challenges in MW2 and the tips you need to complete them.

MW2 Sakin MG38 Camo Challenges Tips¶

Here are the Sakin MG38 Camo Challenges in MW2.

The 50 kills and the suppressor kills are one and the same. Simply find the playstyle you like using, and then get kills with it. It could be hunkered up somewhere, mounted up against an objective, or using ADS attachments while roaming and being a mobile support gunner. Here is a suggested MG38 loadout in case you’re wondering what we think the best is.

The double kill challenge will require some more thought into it. The recommendation here is to play on Hardpoint, Headquarters or Domination. Here you will look for objectives, and overwatch pathways into the sites. If you’re defending a captured site, you’ll find that enemies will naturally come into one of a few ways onto the site. You’re more than likely going to get double kills using this strategy. Alternatively, you can over watch the wider area and look for kill that way. You can potentially get spawn trap kills on maps like Sena Crossing and Al Bagra if the enemy team is stuck on the gated side of the map.

As for the prone kills challenge, we recommend camping in an area of choice. The short to mid-range angles are much better for this, as you can get a decent field of view and range to scope in and hit enemy players. Most maps are fairly accepting of this strategy as you can overlook sites, similar to the mounted kill strategy, or go prone in silly spots like the Farm 18 buildings, indoors on Embassy and El Asilo, or even places like the stables on Al Bagra. Find your preferred spot and get those prone kills. If you want to do this at longer ranges, change your barrel and muzzle to longer damage range velocity attachments. Going prone means you don’t need to worry too much about recoil control, so this should you if that’s your preferred playstyle.

Sakin MG38 Gold Camo Challenge and Higher Mastery Level Challenges¶

Moving onto the Sakin MG38 Gold Camo Challenge in MW2, you need three kills without dying with the weapon. For this, we recommend once again finding your preferred playstyle. The challenges above all teach you to play and build a loadout slightly differently. If you find a playstyle you liked the most, use that again, and get three kills without dying with the gun. Again, some maps prefer different playstyles better, so adapt your strategy around the map and mode you are on and go from there.

Saking MG38 Platinum challenge¶

Now for the Sakin MG38 Platinum Camo Challenge in MW2.If you haven’t been playing a long-range attachment build, then now you need to. The choices for attachments are the:

• Barrel: 20“ Bruen Silver Series Barrel
• Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5 or Polarfire silencers
• Optic of choice
• Optional High-velocity ammunition.

The barrel and silencer will increase your damage range and velocity, making longshot kills easier to get. Moreso, the high-velocity rounds will make your rounds quicker to reach distant targets and increase your accuracy. However, they do slightly lower your damage profile at distances. We also recommend an optic to make hitting distant targets easier.

Now you have the loadout, you need to go to Invasion maps, or look for maps like Taraq, the outdoor edges of Embassy and Raceway, and even the outer edges of places like El Asilo and the market street on Las Almas. These areas or maps offer better long-shot kill chances, making these the better places to go to for them.

Saking MG38 Polyatomic challenge¶

Finally, the Sakin MG38 Polyatomic Camo Challenge in MW2 requires players to get headshots. The opportunity here is to go back to a preferred playstyle. If you fund yourself getting headshots fairly easily using the plat longshot build, then use that to snipe heads with your LMG rounds. Alternatively, run and gun playstyles can go to the ADS build, which requires the following attachments:

• Rear Grip: Bruen 0900 Grip Wrap
• Barrrel: 355MM HGS-55
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

These three attachments increase your ADS speed and also increase your aiming stability. This makes it much easier to control your accuracy while aimed in. The result is you can better place your rounds against someone’s head. This is a trial-and-error challenge and one that will take some time to complete.

This concludes the Sakinn MG38 camo challenges in MW2. Hopefully, these loadout suggestions and map strategies work for you, no matter how they play the game. Good luck with the grind and the road to Orion.
