Call of Duty fans are desperate to get their hands on Modern Warfare 2 later this year, where the classic MP5K is leaked to make a return. In the meantime, FaZe star Kris ‘Swagg’ Lamberson has brought the MP5K to Warzone with a powerful loadout.

The MP5 SMG is a Call of Duty staple, with the classic submachine gun appearing in both the Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises. Of course, this means that the MP5 is also available in Warzone, with both MW2019 and Black Ops Cold War featuring the gun.

With 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 officially announced, nostalgia and hype for the next entry are at an all-time high. Following leaks that the MP5K will make a return, top streamer FaZe Swagg has brought the classic MP5K to Warzone.

According to leaks from RalphsValve, the MP5K will be one of the weapons featured in 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 alongside the classic Intervention. The next CoD title is still several months out and there’s no guarantee the MP5K will arrive, but players can actually convert the MP5 into the MP5K through Warzone’s Gunsmith.

The MP5K is a modified version of the MP5 featuring a shorter stock and barrel, and Warzone’s Gunsmith allowed FaZe Swagg to build it just like that. These attachments make it almost the spitting image of MW2’s MP5, and Swagg said that “I just went so off with this class it’s ridiculous,” winning the game with 39 kills.

How to make MW2 MP5K in Warzone

  • Barrel: FFS Mini
  • Laser: Tac Laser
  • Optic: Corp Combat Holo Sight
  • Stock: FTAC Collapsible
  • Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip

Converting Warzone’s MP5 into Modern Warfare 2’s MP5K is simple, as long as you have the FFS Mini barrel, FTAC Collapsible stock, and Ranger Foregrip underbarrel, your MP5 will look almost exactly the same.

Swagg opted for the Corp Combat Holo Sight, a popular choice in MW2, and the Tac Laser for extra ADS speed and mobility.

Although perhaps not the meta build for Modern Warfare’s MP5, this is still a deadly loadout. The FFS Mini barrel will reduce its range, but the other attachments make it speedy and accurate for close-range fights.
