How to unlock MP40 in Warzone

Unlocking the Warzone MP40 is a very straightforward process. The SMG is available as soon as you reach Rank 4.

The 45-round magazine is one of the key elements of this build. It gives you additional bullets in the magazine, which makes it easier to deal with groups of opposition with no need to reload after every kill.

The choice of stock, Taped Grip, and Short barrel provide increases in fire rate and damage output in addition to a reduction in recoil levels, making the MP40 extremely easy to control. Coupled with the Lengthened Ammo Type for an additional damage increase, the weapon can quite literally melt through enemies even at longer distances.

The rest of the build revolves around controlling the weapon. The Quick Perk makes sure that you move around the map as fast as possible thanks to further movement speed boosts.
