This year, Modern Warfare 2 will bring back some absolutely classic weapons and maps from the franchise, which will no doubt tug at the heartstrings of those OG Call of Duty fans. Along with the VEL 46 MP7, the game introduces another classic Modern Warfare weapon, the P-90 SMG, now known as the PDSW 528. If the MW2 PDSW 528 is your favorite weapon, here’s the best loadout to use, along with the best attachments, perks, and more.
Best MW2 PDSW 528 loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
- Barrel: 9.5″ Duke-30
- Stock: CQB Stock
- Rail: Integrated Reflex Rail
- Ammunition: 5.7x28mm Overpressured
Because the PDSW 528/P90 is well-known for being a close-range beast, our build capitalizes on the weapon’s strengths as a run and gun weapon. We start with Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider for Muzzle as it offers significant vertical recoil control and increased accuracy.
The 9.5′′ Duke-30 Barrel follows, which boosts ADS speed while improving hipfire accuracy – ideal for close-quarters engagements. This goes well with the CQB Stock, providing a significant mobility boost to help get in the face of the enemy.
The Integrated Reflex Rail is a simple sight that allows players to stay on target without affecting ADS speed too much.
Finally, the 5.7x28mm Overpressured is an excellent choice for winning gun battles because it causes enemies to flinch, causing them to miss their shots.
Best MW2 PDSW 528 perks and equipment
Perks
- Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
- Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix
Equipment
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
- Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
To begin with, Bomb Squad is an excellent Perk for ensuring your survival in situations where explosives are thrown around, which occurs frequently in Modern Warfare 2. Furthermore, the Battle Hardened Perk will complement it well, as it will protect you from Tacticals such as Flash Grenades and Stuns. We then chose Fast Hands for the Ultimate Perk to help you reload your weapon quickly and stay in the fight, as well as Quick Fix for the same reason.
For Lethal and Tactical equipment, we’ve chosen the Semtex and Flash Grenade because they’re both effective at exploiting the enemy. Finally, the Dead Silence Field Upgrade is ideal for run-and-gun SMG playstyles.
How to unlock PDSW 528
There are two ways to obtain weapons in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. The first involves climbing the ranks in the same way that previous Call of Duty games did. The second factor is whether the PDSW 528 is a member of a weapon family. If this is the case, you’ll need to use a weapon platform until you can unlock a receiver. The SMG is usable once the receiver is unlocked.
Is the PDSW 528 a viable option in Modern Warfare 2?
It’s unclear whether the PDSW 528 can compete with the Lachmann Sub at the top of the SMG category, but there’s always the chance it’ll fit in. In a game where the time to kill is incredibly short, the rate of fire makes all the difference, so expect it to shred through opponents in close-range scenarios.
