The MP40 has been a popular choice amongst Vanguard players since the game’s launch, but the Warzone integration is now seeing this gun rise through the ranks once again. Swagg’s MP40 loadout bolsters the gun’s damage, range, and fire rate. 

Like most meta SMGs in Warzone, Swagg has used attachments that greatly increase the gun’s accuracy. In fact, when the MP40 is kitted out with the Recoil Booster, Krausnick 317MM 04B, M1941 Hand Stop, VDD 35 M Wire Grip, and Fabric Rear Grip it barely moves when fired. 

Brace also ensures your first couple of bullets are more accurate, which can give you an edge when gunning for those headshot multipliers. This is made even easier thanks to the Slate Reflector optic, which gives you perfect vision of your surroundings without any obstructions. 

To ensure this class remains competitive in close-range firefights, Swagg has utilized Quick to boost the MP40s mobility. Rounding things off are the Lengthened Ammo Type and 8mm Kurz 32 Round Mags. Both these attachments increase the MP40’s bullet velocity, while the 32 Round Mags provide the SMG with even more damage.
