Learn about the MP40 SMG in Call of Duty: World at War. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and best combat scenarios.
The MP40 is a German Submachine Gun (SMG) in Call of Duty: World at War. It feels very accurate and can be effective for countering the PPSh in Russian levels. However, similar to the Sten, it is not ideal for suppressing fire situations. Its biggest drawback is the need to get close to enemies and ensure your first magazine is effective, as its quick firing rate means you will likely die during reloading. It is not suggested for long-range engagements; focus on closing the distance or retreating, and avoid firing in short bursts.
Tips
- Engage enemies at close range to maximize the effectiveness of your initial magazine.
- Be prepared to reload in cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), as the weapon's fast fire rate leaves you vulnerable during reloads.
- Avoid using the MP40 for long-range engagements or sustained suppressive fire.
- Consider using the MP40 to counter the PPSh, especially in Russian-themed levels.
