Use the combination of Lightweight Barrel and Superlight Front Rail for maximum ADS and Movement Speeds in the game. This will allow you to maneuver through the maps quickly and aim down sight on enemies the earliest, adding to the tactical advantage.

Quick Mag will increase the reload speed by 15% and Lightweight Grip will reduce the recoil spread by 25%. You can go with the Padded stock as it unlocks fairly quickly at Level 7 while further reducing recoil by 15% and adding 10% ADS Stability and ADS Flinch Control, making the MP5A2 more accurate at close range.
