Scump uses the following attachments for his MP5: In his setup, Scump maximizes the 5 possible attachments for the weapon, focusing mainly on damage, mobility, and ADS speed.
Scump swears by the following 5 attachments:
- Stock: FTAC collapsible for higher movement speed and faster ADS speed (the time it takes to aim down sights, i.e., ADS speed)
- Perk: Sleight of Hand for faster reloading
- Grip: Stippled Grip Tape for even faster aim down sights speed and faster readiness after sprinting
- Ammunition: 10mm 30 round auto magazine for more range and higher damage
- Underbarrel: Operator Foregrip for better recoil control (or Commando Foregrip for higher aiming stability and better recoil stabilization)
Who is this configuration of the MP5 suitable for? The weapon is essentially built for the run & gun playstyle – that is, fast movement and combat at relatively short distances or in close quarters.
Those who find that appealing should definitely try this setup. If you prefer to fight at longer distances, you might want to try an assault rifle – for example, the popular Grau: CoD MW & Warzone: OP setup makes the Grau 5.56 a top assault rifle
What about perks for the loadout? Scump has not revealed those. However, since his MP5 setup is geared towards run & gun, the following perks are recommended:
- Blue: Sprint or Flak Jacket
- Red: Ghost or Hardline
- Yellow: Scout or Eager
