Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The MP5 is the balanced submachine gun in Call of Duty 4, with respectable damage, little recoil and full mobility. Three guides support the Red Dot Sight, so that is our verdict for general use, with the Silencer as a stealth swap. This applies to original 2007 multiplayer, with the perk set taken from a guide to the 2016 remaster.
Best MP5 loadout
KeenGamer (17 November 2016) publishes this class. A Steam class guide (updated February 2022) and a Steam multiplayer guide (updated December 2013) also favour the Red Dot Sight.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Red Dot Sight | Steam guide says the iron sights can be hard to use |
| Secondary | USP .45 | KeenGamer warns the M9 shares MP5 ammo and can leave you with no reserve |
| Grenade | Stun Grenade | KeenGamer's pick |
| Perk 1 | Bomb Squad | KeenGamer's protection against Claymores |
| Perk 2 | Stopping Power | Raises weapon damage |
| Perk 3 | Extreme Conditioning | Sprint for longer distances |
Why this build works
Md2a's challenge guide (2008) gives the MP5 seven of eight for accuracy and eight of eight for mobility, which suits a rushing class. KeenGamer notes the fast fire rate, while the Steam guide calls it very respectable damage with little recoil. Its range bar is four of eight.
How to play it
Rush close-range fights, as KeenGamer intends. On the Steam guide's stealth route, stick to close range because of its lack of range with the Silencer. A contributor to Md2a's guide fires almost entirely from the hip with Steady Aim, reporting two or three shots to kill.
Alternative setups
- Stealth (Steam guide, February 2022): Silencer, Dead Silence in Perk 3. It keeps you off the minimap and quiets footsteps.
- Accurate (Steam guide, February 2022): Red Dot Sight, Deep Impact in Perk 3.
- Hipfire (Footpwints, Md2a's guide, 2008): Silencer, Desert Eagle, Frag x3, Stopping Power, Steady Aim.
Unlock notes
Md2a lists the MP5 from level 1. The Red Dot Sight takes 25 kills, the Silencer 75 and the ACOG Scope 150.
