MP5

Available at Level 4, the MP5 is a powerhouse SMG known for its high Rate of Fire (800 RPM), making it excellent in close-quarters combat (CQC). It deals 40 damage per round (20 per round silenced) with a range of 19.05 meters (25 meters silenced) and 8.89 meters (16.51 meters silenced). Its tight hipfire spread and the ability to attach a Silencer make it a long-term favorite.

Mini-Uzi

It deals 30 damage per round (20 per round silenced) with a range of 19..89 meters (16.51 meters silenced). Due to its high recoil when fired continuously, burst firing is recommended.

Its range is 19..89 meters (16.51 meters silenced).

Tips
  • The MP5 is a strong all-around SMG, especially when silenced.
  • The Skorpion excels in very close engagements due to its high damage, but has limited range.
  • Burst fire the Mini-Uzi to manage its high recoil.
  • The AK-74u's hipfire accuracy with a Red Dot Sight on the Wii can be a significant advantage.
  • Consider the MP5 with a Silencer and M9 with a Silencer for a stealthy class setup.
  • An example class for the Skorpion includes the USP .45, Bandolier, Stopping Power, and Extreme Conditioning perks.
  • Another effective class uses the Mini-Uzi with a Silencer and M9 with a Silencer, paired with Bomb Squad, Stopping Power, and Dead Silence perks.
