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 UMP45 is the SMG most people start with and may keep. Altered Gamer calls it generally the best early SMG, and says most SMG users stay on it. The Steam guide is cooler, pointing to the lowest fire rate in the class. For Modern Warfare 3 (2011) multiplayer, the verdict is to use it for its damage range and move on if the MP7 tempts you.
Best UMP45 loadout
Build source: a single Russian-language Steam guide by Влад, dated 11 August 2021. English attachment and perk names are matched to Altered Gamer's November 2011 lists.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Extended Mags | The guide calls this a very good attachment, reducing reloads |
| Proficiency | Range | Increases range; the guide says it helps this gun a great deal |
| Perk 1 | Sleight of Hand | The guide says reloading is still quite slow |
| Perk 3 | Steady Aim | Useful for spraying up close |
Why this build works
The guide lists damage of 49-20 and 759 rounds per minute. Advantages are the best damage drop-off range, close-range damage and bullet penetration. Its damage falls quickly with a Silencer, which the guide says has gone from best attachment to one of the worst.
How to play it
Avoid high-zoom optics, including ACOG Scope, HAMR Scope and Thermal Scope, because recoil is felt even with Kick. Rapid Fire is also out, since the guide says ammo use and recoil would spoil the gun. Kick isn't very necessary without a sight.
Alternative setups
Red Dot Sight with Kick: the guide says this now suits the gun very well. Two attachments: Attachments, combining Extended Mags with a Silencer or a sight. Silencer with Range: the guide says Range almost cancels the Silencer's penalty.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer says it is on a default class. Weapon levels per the Steam guide: Silencer 5, Range 9, Attachments 12, Extended Mags 24.
