The LM-S is a powerful Marksman Rifle in powerhouse rifle in Modern Warfare 2 that can even be effective in close ranges, as long as s manage to fire the first shots.

To unlock the LM-S Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare 2, players must equip and use the Lachmann-762 until the armament reaches Level 17 in its weapon tree. The best sidearm to equip with the LM-S will be the X13 Auto or Side Impact. This secondary weapon will provide players with the Fire Rate and Mobility the LM-S lacks to deal with targets in close-quartered combat. An optimal Loadout would include the Medical Syringe for ive healing and the Semtex Lethal for easy room-clearing. With Dead Silence as the Field Upgrade, Tracker and Ghost are necessary Perks to hunt down enemy players stealthily, and Scavenger and Quick Fix offer ammo and HP sustainment.

When selecting modifications for the LM-S, players are advised to choose attachments that bolster its range if they prefer long-ranged sniping in Modern Warfare 2. Improving its Recoil Control and Handling is also recommended for better control of the weapon's fire. However, its Damage and Accuracy are already excellent, so they do not need to be modified.
