FaZe star Kris ‘Swagg’ Lamberson has revealed the powerful attachment to make the MP40 the “fastest killing SMG” in Warzone Pacific.

The MP40 has been an extremely popular choice since Vanguard’s weapons arrived in Warzone thanks to its versatility, fast time to kill, and minimal recoil. It’s now the most popular weapon in Warzone, and has caught the attention of top streamer FaZe Swagg.

Already impressed with the weapon, Swagg tried out the Incendiary Round attachment and discovered that it makes the MP40 “that much more OP.”

Vanguard’s weapons have been dominating Warzone’s meta since their arrival, with FaZe Swagg recently showing off how the AS44 can be turned into a “broken” hip fire class with “100% accuracy.”

Now, he’s turned his sights to the MP40, which he claims is “the fastest killing SMG” in Warzone. This is thanks to the Incendiary Rounds attachment, which Vanguard players recently said makes the game “unplayable.”

Swagg explained that Incendiary Rounds dominated Call of Duty: WWII to the point that it killed the game for him. He was shocked to see that they can now be applied to “every single gun” in Vanguard, so gave them a shot in Warzone.

After saying that “the MP40 already kills dummy quick,” Swagg tried out the Incendiary Rounds which he now claims make the SMG “not even fair.” 

“The MP40 is the most picked weapon in Warzone’s meta, and the fact that you can put Incendiary Rounds – fire rounds – on it makes it that much more OP,” he explained.
