NEW META?! IS IT BACK?!

There has been a lot of speculation; some say it's back, but many others don't believe it. I'd instead just enjoy the beautiful MP5 and, truth be told... It does feel like a great comeback for the last season of Warzone. We already know that this SMG has two variants: the one from Cold War and the one from Modern Warfare. I think they are both outstanding, but I must admit that the MW MP5 has a bit more inconsistent damage. 

Of course, that doesn't stop us from searching and finding the 5 best loadouts of this beauty, so here they are for you to enjoy.

5. FRENCH FRIES

This class is specifically for the CW MP5 because it has excellent potential. What I mean is that you can carry it as an add-on for any long-range weapon (sniper, AR, LMG, tactical rifle, etc.). What is awesome about this class is the fact that it allows you to have good mobility and also good damage range. You may have some problems with the recoil of the MP5 but it is controllable and with a couple of shots to the head your enemies will be raging like never before.

Loadout details

4. SNIPER SUPPORT

Here we are also going to talk about the Black Ops Cold War MP5, but with a different loadout. This one has a couple of advantages and that is that it's more focused on recoil control and aiming speed. This is useful if you find it a bit difficult to control the weapon and decide to use it as sniper support. Of course, we are not only gonna cover those features but also pay attention to movement speed and a bit of damage, although this beast doesn't need it. 

Loadout details:

• CW MP5
  • Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
    • Pros: Sound Suppression, Vertical Recoil Control, Bullet Velocity, Effective Damage Range
    • Cons: Aim Down Sight Speed, Aim Walking Steadiness, Aiming Stability

What's great about this loadout:

• Fun but also reliable and a bit forgiving
• Lethal damage at close-range encounters
• Good Damage per Mag
• Smooth mobility and a quick sprint to fire speed

3. SPOOKY

Not everyone expected that it would rise again, that it would come out of its grave, but here is the beloved MW MP5... True, the mobility is not the best if we compare it with its CW sister, but it is certainly fast and comfortable to use. It has good bullet velocity and an excellent rate of fire. This last point can also be a problem if you don't pay attention to the reloading time because you can run out of bullets while pushing. Don't worry, you can take care of some enemies thanks to the excellent damage of this baby, but you must be aware of the risks. 

Loadout details:

• MW MP5
  • Barrel: Monolithic Integral Suppressor
    • Pros: Sound Suppression, Bullet Velocity
    • Cons: Aim Down Sight Speed
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
    • Pros: Recoil Control, Hip Fire Accuracy
    • Cons: ADS Speed, Aim Walking Movement Speed
  • Ammunition: 45 Round Mags
    • Pros: Magazine Ammo Capacity
    • Cons: Aim Down Sight Speed, Movement Speed
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
    • Pros: Aim Down Sight Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed
    • Cons:  Aiming Stability
  • Stock: FTAC Collapsible
    • Pros: Movement Speed, Aim Down Sight Speed 
    • Cons:  Aiming Stability, Recoil Control

What's great about this loadout:

•  Lethal at close-range thanks to its bullet velocity
• Great for newbies or someone who’s still getting used to Warzone
• Decent TTK
• Compensates for its short magazine with its magnificent accuracy

2. YELLOW FLASH

This loadout is a bit subjective because I tried it and I fell in love with the speed the character has when wielding this weapon. When you put the Sound Suppressor you sacrifice some damage range, but you gain momentum and I did notice it. This loadout allows you to rush and reposition without much trouble, being a great option for us aggressive players. 

Loadout details:

• CW MP5
• Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
• Pros: Sound Suppression, Aim Down Sight Speed, Bullet Velocity, Sprint to Fire Speed
• Cons: Effective Damage Range
• Stock: Raider Stock
• Pros: ADS Firing Move Speed, Aim Walking Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed
• Cons: Hip Fire Accuracy
• Ammunition: STANAG 50 Rnd Drum
• Pros: Ammo Capacity
• Cons: Reload Quickness, Aim Down Sight Speed
• Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
• Pros: Movement Speed, Aim Walking Movement Speed
• Cons: Flashlight Visible to Enemies, Aiming Stability
• Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
• Pros: Movement Speed, Hip Fire Accuracy
• Cons: -

What’s great about this loadout:

• Accurate and reliable at mid-range encounters
• Mobility feels good because it allows you to sprint fast and also have good strafe speed
• Controllable Recoil
• Excellent ADS Speed (is great for face-to-face PvP)

1. OG 

This is the little one that almost all of us who were present during the Verdansk days remember. Unlike the previous loadout, by using the Monolithic Suppressor we're gonna get a bit more damage range, which makes this SMG more consistent. Additionally, we are carrying the Sleight of Hand Perk, which allows us to reload much faster and thus compensate for the few bullets that the MP5 may have. In short, it is very competitive and I don't know if I like this version or the CW one more.

Loadout details:

• MW MP5
  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
    • Pros: Sound Suppression, Damage Range
    • Cons: Aim Down Sight Speed, Aim Walking Steadiness
  • Laser: Tac Laser
    • Pros: Aim Down Sight Speed, Aiming Stability, Aim Walking Steadiness
    • Cons: Laser Visible to Enemies
  • Ammunition: 45 Round Mags
    • Pros: Magazine Ammo Capacity
    • Cons: Aim Down Sight Speed, Movement Speed
  • Perk: Sleight of Hand
    • Pros: Reload Quickness
    • Cons: -
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
    • Pros: Recoil Control, Hip Fire Accuracy
    • Cons:  ADS Speed, Aim Walking Movement Speed

What's great about this loadout:

• Very forgiving thanks to its fast reload time (you can miss some bullets but still retreat for a bit and reload your weapon before round 2)
• Consistent Damage at short- and mid-range confrontations
• ADS Time is very good and allows you to be more aggressive
• Hip Fire Accuracy is nasty
