The MP5 is one of the few weapons in the game with good default sights which often frees up an extra attachment slot when creating new loadouts. It also has a few unique attachments available designed for effective stealth and run-and-gun loadouts. Here are some of the best options for an MP5 loadout sorted by play style. While all of these are effective in-game, players should build and experiment with weapon builds to suit their own personal playstyle.

Overkill

Combining the MP5 with a longer-range or heavier weapon through Overkill allows players to change strategies on the fly and adapt to the flow of the game.
