MP5 has become one of the most popular weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It is very flexible for an SMG with well balanced stats making it perfect for any style of play from long range combat to fast and stealthy CQB. The MP5 is one of the few weapons in the game with good default views that often frees up an additional attack slot when creating new loadouts. It also has some unique accessories available designed for effective stealth and run-and-gun loadouts. Here are some of the best options for an MP5 loadout sorted by play style. While all of these are effective in the game, players should build and experiment with weapon builds to suit their personal play style.

This loadout is best when used as a secondary weapon for the Overkill advantage. It works very well with long range and heavy armaments which grant even more flexibility to the players. By combining the MP5 with a long-range or heavier weapon via Overkill, players can change strategies on the fly and adapt to the flow of the game.
