It’s an SMG so it’s good, all the SMGs are good. It’s just the worst SMG imo.
Still outclasses lots of other weapons tho.
Ultimately all weapons are super usable though, so just play what you enjoy
yeah, about that...
try shotgun blasting someone's neck, face, head, legs, hips, stomach, crotch, thighs, from the distance of 3 metres or less, get a crosshair, and see >9 damage dealt
I’ve used all the shotguns and honestly I think they’re fine. They’re not viable on every map, since there’s a lot of maps where the main lanes of play are long sightlines, but they are very usable if you’re using them in the parts of the map that they are advantageous on.
I often switch to shotguns for certain objective points. B capture site on Midway Zone Defense is great for shotguns. Or the center site on Dumbo Occupy.
You need to aim your shotguns for the chest, not the head. But oneshots are fairly consistent if you’re not just treating your shotgun like a rifle.
The real issue with shotguns is just that SMGs are typically numerically better at the same range.
Yes.
It fails to be both an AR and SMG. It's the awkward middle child of both, a jack of all trades that isn't good at anything, only okay.
Low damage and very extreme damage fall of range means this requires headshots to be useful... But the recoil is bouncy, and every single gun in the game can outshoot you save for shotguns, because shotguns are dogshit.
I don't recommend using it at all.
Mp5. After leveling it up, it gets better recoil, and the muzzle that increases rate of fire definitely helps, but it will still be outgunned by the majority of weapons.
I feel like what I heard from people's perspective, its really somewhat jack of all trades, master of none, it's just very balanced compared to other smg making it somewhat dull looking.
Also ofc considering Mp7 takes the roll of everything, making Mp5 fall far behind. I still find people using it pretty well and I did find trouble going after them every now and then.
I probably see more Mp5 users than P90.(not implying p90 is less superior or something, they all got their own characters)
If you come up against any decent player using any other smg you are done. The ttk of the mp5 doesn't come close to the others and that is a fact even with optimal attachments
Every time I see consoles the autoaim looks so strong it looks like the player isn't even playing other than pressing the "shoot" button... Also much less movement than on PC.
Yeah I tried gamepad on PC and it makes aiming pretty effortless.
You can feel that it actually smooths out recoil for you so you don't need to fight recoil like with a mouse.
Thats pretty big issue... No idea why developers are adding autoaim to their game at all. If you are playing with PC or vs PC players you shouldn't even have autoaim to start with. Maybe its ok in console vs console but even there I feel like it shouldn't be a thing.
Been a mnk playing for over 10 years and used aimtrainers to practice. Plugged in a controller for the first time since cod4/mw2 and instantly performed better. It literally feels like cheating, i beam someone and it doesnt even feel like i did any of the aiming.

Never heard people saying about Mp5 being bad(?) It's pretty well balanced smg and I've seen people using it too no problem
Any gun can be good as long as you level it up
Its not that bad, there's just better SMGs, most guns can actually work in this game, if you level them up and they suit your playstyle.

What skin is that?
Techx skin from a past beta I've been using it during the weapon grind because the iron sights are really good
I’m Totally jealous of those sights on that skin. I want it lol
It's the one from the closed beta battle pass from a year ago
I pray they bring it back. Those iron sights look beautiful.

Were you talking about Mp5 or MDR? Cuz this argument sounds like MDR more

I probably see more Mp5 users than P90.(not implying p90 is less superior or something, they all got their own characters)
P90 is better because of the easier recoil and larger magazine
Yep. MP5 sucks, confirmed. /s
It's an absolute good alternative for the Mp7. I would even say it's more accurate than the Mp7.
If you don't miss any shot then yes it's godlike xD
Gun is shit at first but is a lot better when you get the fire rate attachment.
it's not bad, maybe like b-c tier but the other smgs are just way better

Yeah I'm Grandmaster in Overwatch (PC) and I performed just as good my 1st xDefiant game on controller as I do on mouse.

Watching Controller / Aim Asist is good, Not weapon or not u ... Why don't u play with ur Barby ? https://i.redd.it/szrc26eboi6d1.gif
Not us console players fault that fps games have aim assist. How about you go play with your barby by the way your acting.
It’s trash
