MP5

The Heckler & Koch MP5, known as the MP5 in game, is a German-made SMG in surviv.io.

Info
The MP5 is a decent weapon early-game, allowing one to easily spray down unarmored opponents to score easy kills. The MP5 is very useful throughout the game, and the bullets do decent damage if they score hits. It is also the first weapon you should go for in early-game as it is similar to the MAC-10, but it sports less spread and a longer reload time. It is also a good substitute to the UMP9, sporting better DPS, still quite good accuracy, and can be fired in a burst fashion if that's how you wield it.

Strategies

 * Compared to other fully automatic weapons, the MP5 is rarely used late-game due to its relatively low rate of damage. Weapons like the M416 or AK-47 are superior in many different aspects, and one of these should replace the MP5 later on.
 * Using a fully automatic weapon paired with a shotgun can be deadly.
 * This is the most versatile gun in the game, as it has high accuracy and range, a short barrel (the shorter the better), has a decent reload time, and has a controlled fire rate compared to it's mag size.
 * This is a great weapon early in the game when paired with an 8x or 15x scope due to its great accuracy, especially when compared to weapons such as the MAC-10 or M9.

Countering

 * The MP5 is arguably one of the worst SMGs in the game, when fighting a MP5 user, make sure you have a weapon, any weapon besides Pistols, will do fine.
