Best Cold War MP5 Warzone loadout: Attachments, Perks, Setup

The best Cold War MP5 loadout in Warzone can give you a huge edge in firefights, especially when you kit it out with the meta Attachments and Perks.

While the Cold War MP5 may not be as popular as Vanguard’s MP40 in Warzone, this deadly SMG can still be a formidable contender. In fact, the pint-sized weapon has previously taken a spot amongst the top 5 best SMGs in the Verdansk.

If you’re looking to run and gun your way to victory or you’re just after an SMG that can shred through your foes, then the Cold War MP5 is a solid choice in Warzone Season 3. In order to help you get the most out of this gun, we’ve put together the following loadout you can use to dominate foes in the game.

Best Cold War MP5 loadout

This MP5 build is lethal in short-range gunfights.

MP5 Best Attachments

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Grip: Bruiser Grip
Stock: Raider Stock
Ammunition: STANAG 50 Rnd drum

The best Cold War MP5 loadout is all about boosting the gun’s mobility and lethality at close ranges. It may not deal much damage in mid-to long-range engagements, but it absolutely shreds when used in close-quarter firefights.

The Agency Suppressor increases the weapon’s recoil control while also completely removing the gun’s muzzle flash, making it a must for any player looking to beam down their foes with a large degree of stealth.

The MP5 already has high damage and a fast TTK, so a barrel is sacrificed for attachments like the Bruiser Grip, Raider Stock, and Tiger Team Spotlight — all of which provide boosts to your mobility and ADS.

Additionally, the STANAG 50 Rnd drum gives you plenty of ammunition to dismantle multiple enemies.

Best Cold War MP5 setup (Perks & equipment)

The Cold War MP5 is a decent pick in Warzone.

Perk 1: EOD
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Amped
Secondary: STG44
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

Just like most meta loadouts in Warzone Pacific, our best MP5 loadout utilizes both the EOD and Amped Perks. Outside of Overkill, both Perks are chosen because they increase your survivability and weapon swapping quickness. After all, reloading or slowing down mid-fight can often lead to some unwanted trips to the Gulag.

Meanwhile, the Overkill perk enables the use of the extremely deadly STG44 loadout, which still remains one of the best Assault Rifles in Warzone Pacific (right alongside the Cooper Carbine). Lastly, both the Semtex and Heartbeat Sensor help track down nearby enemies and obliterate camping squads with deadly explosive fire.

Simply locate your target, throw in a Semtex, and rush in with your MP5 to claim a quick kill. Obviously, by taking Overkill, you can just pick up Ghost later through a free Loadout Drop if you can whip up the cash.

How to unlock the Cold War MP5 in Warzone

The MP5 is one of the very first SMGs you unlock.

The Cold War MP5 is unlocked by reaching Rank 4. As both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War have synced progression, you’ll be able to easily unlock this lightning-fast SMG in no time at all.

Now that you’ve basically gotten the weapon in your sleep, you’ll need to kit it out with the best MP5 Attachments to push it to its limits. Fortunately, the loadout above will send your enemies back to the spectator screen in no time.

Best Cold War MP5 loadout Warzone tips

The Cold War MP5 may have stiff competition due to recent Pacific update, but this SMG is still more than capable of holding its own in-game. If you’ve been wanting to add this weapon to your arsenal, then we’ve got you covered.

Here are some tips to ensure you dominate while using the Cold War MP5:

As with most SMGs, this weapon is best suited for close-range gunfights. While it can put up a decent fight at mid-range, other Assault Rifles and even SMGs with better range will have the upper hand, which is why we suggest Overkill.
For an Assault Rifle, we recommend the STG44 or Cooper Carbine, and for the Sniper Rifle we recommend using the classics — either the Swiss K31 or the Kar98k.
The Heartbeat Sensor tactical is great for locating enemies that are in close proximity. If you suspect an enemy is nearby, use this equipment to pinpoint their exact location and let the Cold War MP5 do the rest.

Alternative Cold War SMG loadout

The MP40 is currently the best SMG in Warzone.

While the Cold War MP5 may be incredibly fast, the MP40 has surpassed all other competition since its release. This SMG features an amazing rate of fire, good damage, and incredibly accurate hip fire.

Not only is it a good alternative to the Cold War MP5, but it also outshines it in almost every way. If you want to use the best SMG in Warzone, then be sure to check out our MP40 loadout guide.
