New weapon: MP9
The P90 is a fully automatic SMG preferred by players in various situations. Still, it was only available through supply crates and was sometimes considered impractical because it used 5.7mm ammo. The MP9, on the other hand, spawns on the map and uses more popular 9mm ammo. Although it has a slightly lower effective range, fire rate, and damage than the P90, it is an excellent alternative for players who enjoy the P90’s playstyle.
