Black Ops 6 Introduces Classic MP5 SMG to Warzone, Yet Players Are Not Using It

One of the most underestimated SMGs in Black Ops 6 is making a nostalgic return to Warzone, reminiscent of the classic MP5. Despite its potential, many players seem to disregard it in favor of more popular options.

As Warzone has progressed over the years, numerous beloved weapons have faded into obscurity, supplanted by modern alternatives that dominate the battlefield. Yet, certain new arrivals can be customized to replicate the characteristics of those classic favorites. For instance, Modern Warfare 3 introduced the WSP Swarm, echoing the MAC-10’s feeling in Rebirth Island, while the WSP-9 has embraced the traits of the Milano from Black Ops Cold War.

These contemporary reinterpretations of classic firearms may often occupy an off-meta position. However, the nostalgia they evoke is compelling, which might explain the ongoing interest in Black Ops 6’s Kompakt 92.

Enhancing the Kompakt 92: A Nod to the Classic MP5

Renowned Warzone expert WhosImmortal recently featured the overlooked Kompakt 92 in his video from December 22, drawing attention to its resemblance to the legendary MP5.

He commented, “It’s a super aggressive SMG; it reminds me a lot of the OG MP5 from Warzone 1. There’s a different feel to it to some extent, but there are definitely a lot of similarities.”

The suggested build centers on crucial components such as the Ranger Foregrip and Ergonomic Grip, enhancing the Kompakt’s Aim Down Sight speed and Slide to Fire speed, which optimizes its performance while on the move.

WhosImmortal further emphasized that “Accuracy is just so important with a weapon like this. You’ll find that being deadly accurate while still maintaining aggression is key; the weapon absolutely thrives in close-range encounters right now.”

According to WZRanked, the Kompakt 92 currently ranks as the 37th most popular weapon in the battle royale landscape, affirming its off-meta status. Nevertheless, players should consider giving it a try to gain an edge in tight close-quarter battles.
