The beloved MP5 has made a comeback with the release of Season 6 of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War on October 6. This SMG packs a powerful punch for close to medium-range combat (depending on the attachments). The player can run faster and melt targets with the weapon’s faster RPM, ADS, and reload time. However, the best MP5 class Cold War must be created to continue winning one-on-one battles. We have curated this guide and gathered all of the necessary information to create the ideal MP5 class for both new and returning players.
In Cold War, How To Unlock MP5
You must first unlock the fantastic MP5 before you can use it. Obtaining the MP5 has become much easier now that Call of Duty Cold War and Warzone have synced their weapon progression. You have to reach level 4 by participating in multiplayer matches, and you’ll have the weapon in no time.
Furthermore, to obtain the best MP5 class Cold War Season 6 weapon, players must unlock all attachments because this SMG is not in perfect condition or is not operating at full capacity while in stock form. If you want the most out of this weapon, you’ll require to grind a little more and unlock the attachments that turn it into a true melting powerhouse.
MP5 Weapon Statistics
The MP5 SMG has 32-33 base damage and a magazine capacity of 30 rounds in its stock configuration. Furthermore, the weapon has an 854 RPM and a reload time of 2.48 seconds. Because of its 200ms aim-down-the-sight, the MP5 can take down an opponent in 6-13 rounds, depending on the player’s and opponent’s distance (ADS). The best part is that when using the base MP5 version, players get a 99 percent movement speed percentage, making this SMG ideal for run and gun combat.
The best attachments can improve the overall damage, handling, stability, magazine size, and other states of the MP5 (more about it later). If shredding opponents is the main goal, players must use the best MP5 cold war attachments rather than the stock version of this SMG.
Season 6’s Best MP5 Attachments
You must know which attachments to equip for the best MP5 class now that you know how to unlock the weapon and its base/stock version stats. We’ve listed eight attachments to help this SMG outperform most weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
Microflex LED optics
Players should use the Microflex LED optic attachments. This attachment improves overall vision while aiming down the sight and is far superior to standard iron sights. Furthermore, it has a 1.25x magnification, slightly better than an iron sigh.
Muzzle Brake: Muzzle Brake
Players should use the “Muzzle Brake 9” muzzle attachment. This attachment stabilizes the vertical recoil by providing a +4 control. Controlling the vertical recoil is critical, especially when shooting close to the chest or head. You don’t want the weapon to have a lot of recoils and miss half the time. This nearly qualifies as the MP5 loadout with no recoil.
Heavy Reinforced Barrel
The “9.5′′ Reinforced Heavy” barrel is ideal for use with the MP5 SMG. It is unlocked at weapon level 21 and increases damage range by 18% and bullet velocity by 80%. However, it penalizes 4% sprinting speed and -20% aim walking speed. Regardless of the disadvantages of using the attachment, the cost is well worth it.
Body: Laser with Consistent Aim
Players must use a “Steady Aim Laser” attachment on the MP5 SMG’s body. This is unlocked after reaching weapon level 5. The body attachment increases hip-fire accuracy by 15% while having no negative effects on other stats.
Field Agent Grip on the Underbarrel
The right underbarrel influences the weapon’s handling and stability. As a result, we recommend the “Field Agent Grip” for this attachment. Because this attachment improves the MP5 SMG’s vertical recoil control by 6% and horizontal recoil control by 20%. However, it reduces the shooting move speed by 30%. During our field testing of Field Agent Grip, we discovered that the trade-off was worthwhile, and we recommend that you use this underbarrel instead of others for a run and gun gameplay style.
Rnd Speed Mag is a magazine.
Because the MP5 SMG has such a high RPM, 30 rounds in a magazine are sometimes insufficient to take out at least two opponents at the same time. To address the issue of limited mag size, we recommend using the “40 Rnd Speed Mag” magazine attachment. It is because the weapon increases magazine ammo capacity by 33%, reload speed by 25%, overall capacity by 33%, and starting ammo capacity by 33%.
Airborne Elastic Wrap for Handle
We highly recommend the “Airborne Elastic Wrap” attachment for the MP5 SMG’s handle. It is because the weapon regains the lost ADS after equipping the above-mentioned magazine. In a sense, this handle recovers the ADS. However, after equipping Airborne Elastic Wrap, the player’s sprint to fire and shooting movement speed are reduced by 15% and 10%, respectively.
