The MP40 SMG has always been extremely popular in any COD it stars in, and the same goes in Warzone. Because of its versatility, quick time to kill, and low recoil, the gun has become one of the go-to all-rounder SMGs since it was added in the Vanguard update. Let’s take a look at the three best MP40 builds that you can try using for your COD Warzone Pacific loadout.
1. Close Combat MP40
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: VDD 189mm Short
- Optic: Krausnick ISO 1M
- Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding
- Underbarrel: SMLE Pistol Grip
- Magazine: 9mm 64 Round Drum / 8mm Kurz 32 Round Mags
- Ammo Type: Lengthened / Hollow Point
- Rear Grip: Fabric Grip / Stippled Grip
- Perk: Brace
- Perk 2: Quick
As with many other SMGs, the goal of this MP40 build is to get up close and personal. For that reason, use the Krausnick 33M Folding stock, Fabric Grip, and VDD 189mm Short barrel. The SMLE Pistol Grip and the Recoil Booster also help to balance the accuracy. While Lengthened Ammo can give the MP40 additional bullet velocity and range, running Hollow Point will instead give you extra firepower. Brace, Quick, and the somewhat tricky barrel are there for mobility advantage. 9mm 64 Round Drum will help you wipe out squads, but if you’re playing solo you can safely go with 8mm Kurz 32 Round Mags.
2. Meta MP40
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Removed Stock
- Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal
- Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mag
- Ammo Type: Hollow Point
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk: Momentum
- Perk 2: Quick
This one comes from streamer JGOD’s top 10 loadouts. Krausnick 317mm 04B and Mark VI Skeletal take care of all your recoil issues when aiming down sight. And despite the range and damage debuff, 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mag also gives massive boosts to your accuracy paired with other attachments. He brings along a Bren to cover long-range engagements, but of course, you can bring other weapons of your choice too.
3. Incendiary MP40
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B
- Optic: N/A
- Stock: Removed Stock
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 7.62mm Gorenko 45 Round Magazine
- Ammunition: Incendiary
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk: Unmarked
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
FaZe Swagg claims that this particular MP40 build is the “fastest killing SMG” in COD Warzone. While he primarily employs meta attachments, the addition of Incendiary Rounds will increase your firepower by a lot and burn your targets as they attempted to flee. Vanguard players have been complaining about how Incendiary Rounds broke their game so it’s not surprising that the buff also comes to Caldera. Better use this quick before it gets nerfed.
COD Warzone Pacific: Best Perks and Equipment for MP40
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Overkill
- Perk 3: Amped
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stun Grenades
Double Time is an SMG users’ best friend since it adds mobility. And as usual, Overkill and Amped will be needed as the MP40 doesn’t perform well at greater distances. You can bring along a Sniper Rifle or long-range Assault Rifle like an Automaton to help with that particular disadvantage. For Equipment, Semtex and Stun Grenades can disorient enemies when you get ambushed.
