Changes: MPX8 Submachine Gun

Revision as of 10:28, 6 January 2010

The MPX8 is an SMG used by the KPA. Primarily intended as a personal defense and close-quarters weapon; its large 50-round magazine and close-range power range make it the ideal PDW/CQC weapon. The SMG first appears in the hands of KPA scouting parties. Later on, the weapon becomes part of the standard arsenal used by KPA forces on the island. The US Marines are not seen using the SMG ingame.

A smaller submachine gun, the AY69, appears in Crysis Warhead.

Attachments

The SMG can accept the Silencer, Laser Pointer, Flashlight, all of the Scopes and the Reflex Sight

Tactics

The SMG is primarily used as a close-quarters weapon; its high rate of fire can defeat a group of enemies within a few seconds. The SMG is most effective in close-quarters areas, such as buildings or jungles. It is more suitable than the Shotgun in a jungle environment, as the user does not have to get as close to their target in order for it to be effective.

The silencer is a useful attachment for the SMG, as the high rate-of-fire counteracts the damage reduction caused by the silencer. This allows the player to fight their way through a building without alerting enemies in nearby rooms.

Its major downfall is its large recoil and poor range. This makes it less suitable for medium to long range combat, and is best paired with a SCAR, FY71, Precision Rifle and Gauss Rifle to handle these targets.

Trivia

This weapon appears to be modeled after the H&K MP7A1 submachine gun.

-The SMG's primary uses is as a close-quarters weapon; its high rate of fire can destroy a group of enemies within a few seconds. If you're entering an close-quarters area, such as a building or a forest, then you should equip it. In fact, it is more suitable than the Shotgun in a forest, as you don't have to get very close to a target in order for it to be effective, which makes it so that you can expose less of yourself to other enemies when you attempt to attack a target.

-This weapon works best with a silencer; the damage downgrade that it gives the gun is easily compensated for the amount of bullets it can put in the air. With the silencer, you can carve through a building without alerting enemies in nearby rooms.
