The long-awaited Call of Duty Warzone Season 5 patch is here bringing some major changes to the game. Beyond the shiny new battle pass, there's also a slew of new additions, including new POIs, a new Gulag, several new modes and two new powerful and high-caliber weapons.
Activision also finally released the latest weapon balancing changes, which included a tweak to the damage and damage range of the MP5 MW Submachine Gun (SMG). Here is the best MP5 class setup to use in Warzone Season 5, given these new changes.
The best MP5 class setup in Warzone Season 5
The MP5 MW drops to our list of Tier A SMGs to use this season after being hit by some major nerfs in the latest weapon balancing changes. These included a significant reduction in damage and damage range. JGOD talks about these nerfs in much more detail in the video we've embedded below.
?? »JGOD pointed out that players will need to be more consistent with their chest shots to get the same TTK, whereas before the nerf you could get away with fewer shots to an enemy's stomach or limbs.
The following loadout is based on JGOD's "Top 10 Loadouts" for Season 5.
- Muzzle: Agency remover
- Laser: Spotlight on Team Tiger
- Store: Stock de Raider
- Sub-barrel: Bruiser Handle
- Ammunition: Tambour STANAG 50 Rnd
JGOD recommended the Agency remover in his video but you might have to go with the Monolithic Suppressor to offset the 5,4% nerf to the MP5's max damage range.
This attachment will still provide sound suppression, but you will lose the improvements to vertical recoil control, bullet speed, and effective damage range provided by the agency suppressor.
Le Tiger Team Laser Projector is still the best laser attachment to use for increasing movement speed and aiming walking movement.
In addition to that, you can retrieve the Raider Pad Stock to increase aiming fire movement speed (ADS), aim walking movement speed and sprint to shoot.
Le Bruiser Grip Sub-Barrel The attachment will increase movement speed, sprint and fire movement speed and target walking movement speed by 3% and provide great extra mobility.
Finally, we end with the Tambour STANAG 50 Rnd for extra ammo capacity.
You can watch JGOD's video, which we've embedded for your consideration below.
