With a new batch of guns ready to be tested in Black Ops Cold War, players have been getting to grips and finding their favorites, and there’s a small group of guns that are undoubtedly dominant in public matches. The MP5, AK-47 and M16 have all been super popular at the start of the game’s lifecycle.

Continuing its dominance from Warzone and Modern Warfare, though, the MP5 smg really does seem to be the weapon of choice in most games.

But how can you make sure your loadout is the best it can possibly be?

So, if you’re looking for the best MP5 loadout to pubstomp and get your K/D up, here’s what Ali-A uses:

• Optic: Quickdot LED
• Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
• Body: Steady Aim Laser
• Underbarrel: Foregrip
• Magazine: 40 Rnd Drum

Ali-A also carries a 1911 handgun as a secondary, though we would maybe recommend the Diamatti or a launcher of some sort, due to the fact that scorestreaks are used so much more in Cold War than recent iterations of Call of Duty.
