Keep in mind, when building the MP40 - or any weapon - you should ensure the loadout works with your playstyle.

Despite this, we still recommend the MP40 since it’s available right from the start, has low recoil, and has the potential for a competitive TTK when built properly. Though, as expected, its time to kill (TTK) decreases drastically after about 16 meters or so and is one of the slowest in the game. With it being an SMG, of course, it excels up close, but it’s also not bad from afar either, thanks to its low recoil.

This is the starting SMG in the game, meaning many players have already begun using it. While the meta is still falling into place, there are some immediate outliers you should try including the MP40 SMG. With the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard, players have been experimenting with the slew of weapons available, many of which are excellent.
