The MP40 is the most popular weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone and a very powerful submachine gun. If you want to get even more out of the Vanguard overachiever, then try this tested setup with maximum focus on speed and lethality.
The submachine gun MP40 has been at the top of the most popular weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone for quite some time (via wzranked.com). At least until the start of Season 2 on February 14, it will likely remain so.
The very popular setup around the “317mm barrel” already does a good job. But what if you could get even more out of the little lead tip?
For that, we show you a setup on MeinMMO that remains pleasant to control but maximizes movement speed.
CoD Warzone: MP40 setup runs like a “Cold War” weapon
What does the setup look like? Compared to the widely used meta setup, you optimize your movement but sacrifice a bit of range. You enter the second damage area almost 1.5 meters earlier at around 8.5 meters.
Your values for movement speed and strafing with the sight are on a whole different level, and the MP40 feels much more mobile, which is especially noticeable in close and indoor combat.

What makes the MP40 so strong? Shortly after the merger of Warzone and Vanguard, the MP40 managed to secure top spots among the best weapons in Battle Royale and has not been knocked off the throne since.
The MP40 offers you a strong mix of values: it is mobile, easy to control, and deals strong damage. In the first damage zone, the time-to-kill is under 500 milliseconds – this alone would make it a favorite.
The setup is recommended by Warzone YouTuber “P4wnyhof,” who built the MP40 with “ultimate movement speed.” Check out his English video if you want to see gameplay of the setup:

The great popularity combined with high damage also makes the MP40 very prone to nerfs. With the start of Season 2, the era of the MP40 could be over – just like that of the overpowered LMG “Bren.”
Enjoy the strength of the two weapons while you can. You can already find alternatives for the two strong weapons here. However, the current favorites of the players are not overpowered monsters.
If they are nerfed, the community will surely find suitable replacement devices quickly.
