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 MSMC is the leading close-range gun in Black Ops II multiplayer: first in its range on wzstats and S-Tier on games.gg. GameRant credits it with exceptional range for an SMG and low recoil. Our verdict is to run GameRant's Suppressor and Extended Clip build. It is a strong choice on tight maps, and opinion is split on the attachments.
Best MSMC loadout
This is GameRant's build (Nathan Round, 6 August 2026), the most recent we found. No second source publishes this exact pair.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Muzzle | Suppressor | Keeps you off the minimap when firing; damage drops at long range |
| Magazine | Extended Clip | About a third more capacity; reloads about 10% slower |
| Perk 1 | Hardline, Ghost | Earn scorestreaks faster; invisible to UAVs while moving |
| Perk 2 | Scavenger | Replenish ammo from fallen enemies |
| Perk 3 | Awareness, Dead Silence | Clearer enemy footsteps; move silently |
| Wildcard | Perk 1 Greed, Perk 3 Greed | Allow a second perk in those tiers |
Why this build works
Games.gg lists 40 damage under 14 metres, so three hits end a fight. GameRant's reason for Extended Clip is that the extra rounds offset the gun's high fire rate. Scavenger then keeps those magazines supplied. Wzstats' July article adds manageable recoil to the list of strengths, and says it is best at close to mid range.
How to play it
Pick it for close-quarters maps: games.gg names Raid, Standoff, Slums, Express and Hijacked as its best, and says larger maps suit the AN-94 or DSR 50 better. Wzstats notes its range is slightly limited, so do not take long lanes on purpose. Bo2loadouts points it toward Search & Destroy and rushing classes.
Alternative setups
Wzstats recommended (updated 22 July 2026): Fast Mag, Quickdraw Handle; Lightweight, Flak Jacket, Toughness, Dexterity; Perk 1 Greed.
Wzstats second build (updated 22 July 2026): Long Barrel, Quickdraw Handle; Lightweight, Ghost, Toughness, Dexterity, Extreme Conditioning; Perk 1 Greed, Perk 3 Greed.
GameRant's third attachment (6 August 2026): add Quickdraw Handle through Primary Gunfighter, drop Perk 3 Greed and keep Dead Silence.
Techplayguide (undated): Suppressor, Laser Sight.
Unlock notes
The MSMC unlocks at player level 28, per GameTipCenter (November 2012). Suppressor arrives at weapon level 4. Extended Clip is level 13 in GameRevolution's table and level 12 on the same class of gun in wzstats' data.
