Our attachments turns the MG42 into a close-range monster. The Scythe Compensator boosts recoil control for sustained fire, Leather Grip reduces ADS time, and the Krausnick S91mg stock enhances your bullet spread and ADS speed.

- Muzzle: Maxim Silencer
- Stock: Krausnick S91 Padded
- Grip: Carver Foregrip
- Magazine: 8MM Jaeger 100 Round Fast Mags
- Rear Grip: Granular Grip
This MG42 loadout sacrifice some speed for silenced power, increased accuracy, and tighter hip-fire spread.
Go for silenced power with the Maxim Silencer, improved accuracy with the C6rver Foregrip, and tighter bullet spread with the Granular Grip.
The Krausnick S91 Padded Stock mainly reduced recoil control. This build is perfect for surprise attacks and controlling areas with precision, but at the cost of slightly slower handling.
