The MP40 is undoubtedly one of the most used SMGs in Call of Duty: Vanguard since launch. This is due to the weapon’s fast time-to-kill (TTK) and fast mobility. This guide features the two best MP-40 loadouts in Vanguard.

Best MP40 Loadout Vanguard - Max Accuracy

The best MP40 attachment for a high accuracy close–mid range shredder class are as follows:

  • Muzzle: M1929 SilencerBarrel: Krausnick 317mm 04BOptic: Slate ReflectorStock: VDD 34M PaddedUnderbarrel: Carver ForegripMagazine: 9mm 64 Round DrumsAmmo Type: LengthenedRear Grip: Stippled GripProficiency: Nerves of SteelKit: Quick

Since the MP-40 has considerable ADS bloom, this class is meant to increase the gun’s accuracy. The Krausnick 317mm barrel improves accuracy and, in turn, hurts mobility slightly. 

We recommend equipping the VDD Padded stock, Carver underbarrel, and Stippled grip for further accuracy. Finally, the 9mm 64 Round magazine adds extra bullets to the gun. You can change the optic and last two perk attachments based on your preference.

Best MP40 Loadout Vanguard - Max Mobility

For a high mobility-focused close-range MP40 build in Vanguard, swap for the following attachments:

  • Muzzle: Recoil BoosterBarrel: Krausnick 221mm 01BOptic: Slate ReflectorStock: Krausnick 33M FoldingUnderbarrel: SMLE Pistol GripMagazine: 8mm Kurz 32 Round MagsAmmo Type: LengthenedRear Grip: Fabric GripProficiency: MomentumKit: Quick

Although the Recoil Booster doesn’t provide sound suppression and hurts accuracy, it significantly boosts the fire rate. As for the barrel, the one used here with range and accuracy penalties; but it improves the mobility by a huge margin. As such, it is using no barrel attachment whatsoever also works great with the MP-40 SMG.

The 8mm Kurz magazine is extremely powerful as it boosts the range and damage output of the SMG. However, it does reduce the accuracy, fire rate, and mobility quite a lot.

Players may use subsonic ammo instead of Lengthened if concealment is more important than bullet velocity. Furthermore, you can create a custom MP40 class for yourself with a mix of attachments from both loadouts shown in this guide.
