Base Recoil Study
Loadouts
As for the Loadouts, we have some for your playstyle and other for Warzone.
We looked at some MP5 Warzone Loadouts from a handful of Top YouTubers to see how they performed. Each loadout has a blend of stealth, extra ammo, ADS Speed and some extra damage range. Here is how the loadouts performed. We used loadouts suggested by XclusiveAce, JGOD, Drif0r & Whosimmortal.
As far as our preferred loadout, we went with Xclusive Ace’s loadout because it looked to be the best balanced between stealth, damage, recoil, ammo & ADS Speeds amongst all the loadouts.
Camoflauge Requirements
Spray Paint – 500 Kills
