Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The RPD is one of the most popular LMGs online, and Altered Gamer says all of its stats are pretty good except for a below-average fire rate that doesn't hurt it much. As a second default gun in its class it is the natural machine gun to use from the start of Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer.
Best RPD loadout
Altered Gamer (30 January 2010) is the only source for this pairing, and it gives both picks by name.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Grip | Altered Gamer says it increases LMG accuracy |
| Perk | Stopping Power | About 40% more bullet damage |
| Perk | Sleight of Hand | Faster reloads; the perk guide names the RPD as a good match |
Why this build works
Altered Gamer says Stopping Power and Grip together could leave you holding a great weapon. Grip addresses accuracy. The perk guide names the RPD when explaining why faster reloading helps on LMGs.
How to play it
The class's advantage is ammunition. Altered Gamer points to small maps such as Rust, where the seconds spent reloading can get you killed, and an LMG lets you delay that for a long time. Altered Gamer also suggests Bling on an LMG if you want a second attachment with Grip.
Unlock notes
A default LMG, per Altered Gamer. The Steam guide (11 June 2018) lists Grip at 10 kills on LMGs.
