OG MW2 players from back in the day will remember how incredible the UMP45 was in the right loadout. Now, one player has recreated the famous gun for players to use in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Despite the fact that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released 12 years ago, it’s still talked about regularly and considered in high regard even now. It’s also making appearances in Vanguard thanks to the return of the infamous elevator glitch.

Players can now enjoy some more nostalgia by creating a UMP45 build for Warzone similar to the one that would destroy lobbies back in the day, especially when paired up with Commando Pro.

The UMP45 loadout comes from popular Call of Duty YouTuber TheKoreanSavage AKA K3, and they made a really solid-looking UMP45 class.

One of the things that made the UMP45 so good was its mobility as it felt like a proper SMG in its category. It allowed players to run around maps at insane speeds and skilled players could drop huge kill games with a fully-kitted UMP45.

  • Barrel: 400mm Stainless Steel
  • Optic: Aim-Op Reflex Sight
  • Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mags
  • Rear Grip: FTAC 60 Series Rubber

Despite being called the “Striker 45” in Warzone, it bears an almost indistinguishable resemblance to the UMP45 and will be the perfect gun to make this loadout with.

K3 starts out by slapping on the 400mm Stainless Steel barrel which gives the gun a much-needed boost to its damage range, recoil, and bullet velocity.

The Aim-Op Reflex Sight gives the class a vintage vibe and the Ranger Foregrip focuses again on recoil and stability.

To finish off, add the 45 Round Mags to extend its clip and the FTAC 60 Series Rubber rear grip to improve its recoil control one last time.
