The most popular weapon in CoD Warzone is beaten by a new MP – 3 setups are stronger
The popular MP40 has actually already received an effective nerf in Call of Duty: Warzone. But the submachine gun remains very popular. MeinMMO shows you why it’s time for a change of scenery. The new wall pattern: the Welgun.
The MP40 submachine gun currently tops the usage stats and is the most-played weapon in the free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone.
According to the statistics site “WZRanked”, the MP is in almost 15% of all drawn loadouts (via wzranked.com, Stand: 18. Januar). Then comes the LMG Bren with almost 11.5% and the next MP is only in 7th place with 2.73% – the PPSh from Vanguard.
The new submachine gun Welgun outperforms the meta setup of the MP40 in terms of damage – and with 3 different setup variations. The new MP is also easy to control. MeinMMO shows you the details.
CoD Warzone: Welgun setup beats MP40
What attachment combinations does the MP40 beat? If you use the following attachments together, you will get a better time-to-kill on chest hits than with the meta-weapon MP40:
- MP40: 564 milliseconds
- Welgun 1: 500 milliseconds
- Recoil Booster / 120mm Gaiwan Short / .45 Mag
- Welgun 2: 530 milliseconds
- Recoil Booster / 120mm Gaiwan Short / 9mm Magazine
- Welgun 3: 519 milliseconds
- Recoil booster / 9mm magazine
The data comes from Warzone expert JGOD (via YouTube, English).
Which setup is recommended? You will get the best results with a combination of the powerful ammo attachments together with the 120mm Gaiwan barrel. Whether you prefer the 9mm bullets or the .45 bullets is up to you.
The .45 rounds offer a better time to kill, but the 9mm round has the higher rate of fire – if you miss, the time to kill doesn’t increase quite as much as the .45 rounds.

What makes the Welgun strong? The MP from Mid-Season 1 convinces with its damage and offers you a strong control. The weapon plays very well and takes a similar number of hits as the MP40. However, the MP40 remains a bit more stable and easier to play.
However, one thing stands in the way of the submachine gun’s big breakthrough in Warzone: unlocking. You must get 10 submachine gun kills while under sight in a single match, 15 times.
The challenge is clearly tailored to the multiplayer of CoD: Vanguard. Warzone also has loot mode, but it takes a lot more time.
The MP40 can keep its throne for the time being, but it’s not just the Welgun that’s pushing. The PPSh-41 from Vanguard, the MP5 from CoD MW, the OTs 9 from Cold War – all bring you a better time-to-kill and have already cast a skeptical eye on the dominant MP40.
