Season 5 Reloaded of Warzone was the game’s last update and released the finall balance changes to Raven Software’s original battle royale. Even though this means that the meta is more stable now, it is still difficult to know which guns are worth adding to your loadout list.

While the Grau 5.56, XM4, and Cooper Carbine have stood out from the crowd and are recognized as the most powerful ARs in the meta, it is the MP40 that has climbed the ladder and has come up as one of the best SMGs in Warzone.

Aside from having incredible damage, the gun also provides the user with a large amount of mobility which is necessary in the game when trying to hunt down enemies and accumulate kills.

However, in order to get the most out of MP40, you will need to run a meta loadout, and for that, we have got your back. If you are ready to start playing Warzone 2 and wish to know which top-tier weapons to use, be sure to check out the following list of the best meta weapons and loadouts to use in Warzone 2.

Attachments

Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
Barrel: VDD 189mm Short
Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding
Ammo Type: Lengthened
Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mags
Optic: Slate Reflector
Proficiency: Steady
Kit: Quick

Firstly, players will want to equip the Recoil Booster muzzle as well as the VDD 189mm Short barrel in order to significantly increase the gun’s TTK (Time To Kill) and decrease its damage fall-off at range.

All of these attachments perfectly balance each other out and make sure that the MP40 melts through your enemies without having a lot of kickback. After that, it is recommended that players use the Krausnick 33M Folding, m1941 Hand Stop, and Stippled Grip to boost their overall mobility and reduce the gun’s recoil even more.

When combined with the Slate Reflector optic, this setup will allow players to lock onto a target and land each and every shot they make.

Regarding bullets, players should ensure that they run Lengthened to maximize their weapon’s TTK, along with the 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mags. This will allow players to take several shots at once without having the need to reload.

Lastly, one should round off this loadout with the Steady proficiency in order to enhance their movement speed while aiming down sight. The Quick Perk should also be equipped, so you are always running around at maximum speed. This makes flanking enemies easy and prevents players from being caught out in the open by snipers.

Perks & Equipment

Perk 1: E.O.D.
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Amped
Secondary: ZRG 20mm
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Stim

As far as perks go, our loadout runs the standard meta choices with EOD protecting you from explosive blasts and Amped increasing your weapon swap speeds to switch between fully loaded weapons or top off your primary weapon.

We recommend players take Overkill instead of Ghost with the MP40 since the weapon does not perform well at long-range. This means that having a Sniper Rifle such as the ZRG 20mm or an STG44 AR is necessary.

If you do not like the STG44, then the Cooper Carbine, UGM-8, and Grau 5.56 are all amazingly strong. At last, finishing off the class with a Semtex to make your enemies abandon cover or even stick one for an instant down. Also, a Stim to give you a boost of health in the middle of a fierce skirmish.

How To Unlock The MP40 In Warzone

If you want to unlock the MP40 in Warzone as well as Vanguard, then worry not, for it is a relatively straightforward process since it only requires players to reach Rank 16 in the Pacific Season.

Although we recommend that players reach that level in Vanguard multiplayer as it is comparatively quicker, it can easily be done in Wazone but will take a little longer.

Alternative To The MP40 Warzone Loadout

Although the MP40 is a unique and top-tier Vanguard SMG, the OTs-9 is still one of the most popular picks for fans of Cold War. This lethal and powerful weapon is definitely deadly at close range and is ideal for players who prefer aggressive gunfights instead of holding on to a single position.

While the OTs-9’s pick rate is not the highest in Season 5 Reloaded, it in no way means that the SMG does not pack a punch. It is especially useful on Rebirth Island, where tight corridors and enclosed spaces mean players are forced to take close-range skirmishes.

Just like the MP40, it is crucial that you run Overkill along with the OTs-0, or you will struggle to deal with enemies at long range.
