The devs also surprisingly admitted that the PDSW 528 may be the best among all of them. You wouldn’t be able to guess that based on popularity rankings. According toWZRanked, the Lachmann Sub leads all weapons with an 18% pick rate. And the ISO 45 ranks third at 8.7%.

It’s reassuring to know players have a wide range of SMGs to choose from, and Season 5 Reloaded adds another option to the mix. Here is everything you need to know about the Lachmann Shroud.

Infinity Warddescribed the Lachmann Shroud as a “stealthy and lethal 9mm submachine gun” that “features burst and semi-auto fire modes which allow for considerable mobility and stopping power out to mid-range.”

It’s important to note that this SMG only features burst and semi-auto fire modes. So, this is far from a traditional short-range weapon. It may be awkward at first trying to use a burst fire weapon up close and personal, but players will eventually realize the potential.
