With the above attachments, the MP40 will annihilate your enemies with remarkable speed. Since the fire rate is higher, you might find that you burn through ammo faster than usual. To counter this, equip the9mm 64 Round Drumsto double your ammo capacity in each clip.Fully Loadedgives you max ammo for the MP40, so you’ll always have plenty of bullets spare if you do need to reload in the middle of a fight. Fortunately, you should rip through most enemies with ease if you useHollow Pointammo, which significantly increases limb damage.

Optics have little impact on your performance in Vanguard multiplayer, so feel free to use whichever you personally prefer. However, if you aren’t sure which scope pairs best with this MP40 loadout, we recommend taking theSlate Reflector. This is an excellent short-range sight that makes the MP40 optimal at close-range.

Secondary Weapon

As mentioned above, this MP40 loadout is brilliant at short-range. However, it has a low damage range that makes it largely ineffective at long distances. Luckily, there are plenty of medium-long range weapons that you can use when the fight is a little further away.

Best MP40 Perks and Equipment

Here are the best perks andequipmentto use with your MP40 loadout:

Ghostis a classic Call Of Duty perk, so it’s no surprise that it is one of thebest perks in Call Of Duty: Vanguard. Since this loadout focuses on being highly mobile and roaming the map, using Ghost is essential if you want to remain hidden from enemy intel and Spy Planes.

Of course, you want to remain hidden from enemy minimaps, but you also want to keep track of enemies as much as possible. With theRadarperk, enemies will appear on your minimap when they fire an unsilenced weapon, making it easy to locate and hunt down enemies.

Overkillis an essential perk in this loadout, as it allows you to equip one of the secondaries mentioned above, such as the Kar98k. While there are other perks that you could take if you opt to use a standard secondary, such as Demolition and Scavenger, Overkill ensures that you remain competitive in long-range encounters.
