The biggest change to the MP5 is the maximum damage output being decreased from 34 to 31. This means that players will have to hit an extra shot of max damage to kill, which raises the overall TTK.

This may not seem like a massive change, but players experienced with the MP5 will notice the damage drop-off. This makes it, so players have to get a little closer to be as effective.

However, the last change made to the MP5 is a positive one. The Upper Torso Damage Multiplier has been increased from 1 to 1.1. Another small change that will actually make hitting players in the chest a little more rewarding.

Activision states that the nerf is meant to “place some of the power of the Submachine Gun Charlie (MW) behind a mechanical requirement – making it a little less forgiving.”

Although the numbers look like they’ve only been slightly changed, every point of damage matters.
