The best Warzone Cold War MP5 loadout is built to dominate at close range. Pair it with a long-range rifle such as the Krig 6, or if you’re especially confident with your aim, a Sniper Rifle. You can quickly switch to it if your primary weapon is out of ammo or use it in close-quarters situations.

First, we’ve added the Agency Suppressor to the best Warzone Cold War MP5 loadout. This works similarly to the Monolithic Suppressor from Modern Warfare, which increases the weapons range while hiding you from the minimap.

As the best Warzone Cold War MP5 loadout is best suited for getting in the enemy’s face, we’ve opted for no barrel and instead added the Raider Stock for extra mobility.

To make the best Warzone Cold War MP5 loadout as accurate as possible, you should add the Field Agent Grip, which helps with horizontal and vertical recoil control. And for some extra mobility, the Tiger Team Spotlight significantly boosts movement speed and walking while ADSing.

For ammunition, the STANAG 50 Rnd Drum mag is ideal. You can down several enemies without ever having to reload, and it doesn’t give any significant negatives to ADS speed.

  • Perk 1: E.O.D
  • Perk 2: High Alert
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

A major part of Warzone is the lethal equipment at your disposal. Before pushing a room, enemies will lob a bombardment of grenades, rockets, and explosives inside. If you have any hope of surviving, you’ll need the E.O.D perk equipped.

The best Warzone Cold War MP5 loadout is best suited for aggressive players, and High Alert is now a great option. The Perk will alert you when an enemy outside of your vision looks at you, and you’ll be able to hear Dead Silence footsteps. Dead Silence is one of the most powerful pickups in Warzone, so countering it is a huge advantage.

There’s nothing worse than running out of ammo in a firefight, where you’ll need to swap weapons to have a chance quickly. So for Perk 3, the Amped Perk will allow you to swap weapons insanely fast, which is vital in Warzone.

And for equipment, the Semtex is perfect for getting some early damage when pushing enemies, and the Heartbeat Sensor will locate anyone without the Ghost Perk.
