Best overpowered MP-40 class setup in COD Vanguard

The following loadout was inspired by the YouTuber "Paradox" and is worth using in COD Vanguard.

• Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer
• Barrel: Krausnick 317mm O4B
• Optic: (Personal Preference)
• Stock: VDD 34m Padded
• Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
• Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 32 Rnd Mag
• Ammo Type: FMJ Rounds
• Rear Grip: Fabric Grip
• Proficiency: Momentum
• Kit: Surplus

The first attachment is the F8 Stabilizer, which you will use to improve accuracy and damage range. Next, you can use the Krausnick 317mm O4B for the barrel attachment to stabilize the MP-40. In particular, this attachment will reduce scope sway and gun bob, ultimately improving accuracy and gun control.

Both of these first attachments will come at the expense of sprint to fire speed and hip-fire accuracy.

For the third attachment, you can pick up the M1930 Strife Angled to improve accuracy, aiming stability and aim walking steadiness. Followingly, the Fabric Grip attachment will improve aiming, specifically by buffing ADS speed, sprint to fire speed and hip fire recoil recovery.

Next, the 7.62 Gorenko 32 Rnd Mags will improve recoil control and accuracy, ADS speed, fire rate and movement speed, albeit at the nominal cost to damage. However, this attachment will also provide concealment when firing, which will reduce unwanted attention from nearby enemies.

You can pair this with the FMJ Rounds to improve the strength of the bullets by allowing you to shoot through objects.

After that, equip the VDD 24mm Padded Stock to improve control further, buffing recoil control, accuracy, flinch resistance, and recoil recovery at a slight cost to mobility.

Finally, the Momentum Proficiency will provide a stacking movement speed buff after each kill, while the Surplus Kit to earn additional XP for kills.

You can pair the MP-40 with the Ratt secondary pistol and use the following Perks.

• Fortified
  • Reduces damage from explosives by 15%
  • Damage reduction is doubled while mounted, crouched, or prone.
  • Reduces health regen delay from explosives
• Tracker
  • Enemies leave behind a footprint trail. Creates markers at the death locations of enemies and hides the death markers of the enemies you kill.
• Double Time
  • Doubles the duration of Tactical Sprint
  • Increases crouch movement speed by 30%
