The popular MP40 has already received an effective nerf in Call of Duty: Warzone. However, the submachine gun remains very popular. MeinMMO shows you why it’s time for a change. The new wallpaper pattern: the Welgun.
The submachine gun MP40 currently leads the usage statistics and is the most played weapon in the free battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone.
According to the statistics site “WZRanked”, the MP is in almost 15% of all drawn loadouts (via wzranked.com, as of January 18). Next is the LMG Bren with nearly 11.5%, and the next MP is only in 7th place with 2.73% – the PPSh from Vanguard.
Meanwhile, the new submachine gun Welgun outperforms the MP40’s meta setup in damage – and does so with 3 different setup variations. Additionally, the new MP is also easy to control. MeinMMO shows you the details.
CoD Warzone: Welgun setup beats MP40
Which attachment combinations beat the MP40? If you use the following attachments together, you will achieve a better time-to-kill on chest shots than with the meta weapon MP40:
- MP40: 564 milliseconds
- Gorenko meta setup
- Welgun 1: 500 milliseconds
- Recoil Booster / 120mm Gaiwan Short / .45 Magazine
- Welgun 2: 530 milliseconds
- Recoil Booster / 120mm Gaiwan Short / 9mm Magazine
- Welgun 3: 519 milliseconds
- Recoil Booster / 9mm Magazine
The data comes from Warzone expert JGOD (via YouTube, English).
Which setup is recommended? You achieve the best results with a combination of the strong ammunition attachments along with the 120mm Gaiwan barrel. Whether you prefer the 9mm rounds or the .45 rounds is up to you.
The .45 rounds offer a better time-to-kill, but the 9mm rounds have a higher fire rate – if a shot misses, the time-to-kill does not increase as much as with the .45 rounds.

What makes the Welgun strong? The MP from Mid-Season 1 impresses with its damage and offers you strong control. The weapon plays very well and requires about the same number of hits as the MP40. However, the MP40 remains a bit more stable and easier to play.
However, one thing stands in the way of the submachine gun for its big breakthrough in Warzone: the unlocking. You have to get 10 kills with submachine guns while aiming – in one match and do this 15 times.
The challenge is clearly geared towards the multiplayer of CoD: Vanguard. In Warzone, it also goes through the Payload mode, but the time investment is significantly higher.
The MP40 can currently hold its throne, but not only the Welgun is pushing. The PPSh-41 from Vanguard, the MP5 from CoD MW, the OTs 9 from Cold War – all offer you a better time-to-kill and have already cast a skeptical eye on the dominant MP40.
