The MP40 is a classic weapon that will run the meta at the start of Call of Duty: Vanguard.

The weapon dominated during the Call of Duty: Vanguard beta and will surely continue its dominance at the game's full release. The fact is, this submachine gun shreds.

By itself, the MP40 is a menace in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Adding attachments and perks alongside the weapon only makes the SMG deadlier. The best loadout will focus on accuracy and speed.

The Call of Duty: Vanguard loadout system is very similar to COD titles in the past. There are a few different slots, however, such as Kit, Proficiency, and Ammo Type. These will be huge difference-makers for the MP40:

  • Muzzle: M9 Flash Hider
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Handstop
  • Magazine: 9mm Para 64 Round Drums
  • Ammo Type: FMJ Rounds
  • Kit: Quick
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
  • Optic: Monocular Reflector
  • Proficiency: Perfectionist

Starting with the M9 Flash Hider, this muzzle attachment takes away some ADS speed, but the weapon is already incredibly fast. It makes the buffs to vertical and horizontal recoil well worth it.

The M1941 Handstop and Stippled Grip are two more Call of Duty: Vanguard attachments that will reduce recoil quite a bit. Then we have the Round Drums to increase ammo capacity and lower reload time.

The lightweight SMG can make you even faster with Quick as the kit. It also increases the gun's sprint speed. Couple that with FMJ rounds to penetrate surfaces with the MP40, and you'll have a dangerous weapon.

In terms of optics, go for the Monocular Reflector. There is no magnification. Instead, it replaces the iron sight with a clean view that should have you hitting your shots.

Lastly, add the Perfectionist proficiency to the MP40 in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Flinch resistance takes a huge hit, but it delivers another massive buff to recoil control. If you can avoid taking damage, you'll be a pinpoint speed demon.
