The MPC-25 is one of the strongest close-range SMGs in Black Ops 7, trading extreme mobility and high damage for heavy recoil. This guide explains what it is, how to unlock it, its stats, and the best way to use it.
The MPC-25 is a full-auto submachine gun built for close-quarters domination. It hits far harder than most SMGs and offers top-tier movement and handling, but players must manage its high recoil and short effective range.

MPC-25 tips
- Use recoil-stabilizing barrels or grips to tame the kick.
- Stick to tight lanes and interior fights—range drop-off is severe.
- Pair high mobility perks for maximum rushing potential.
- Try hip-fire–focused builds to avoid recoil entirely in close quarters.
- Consider the Stratus-X Barrel for recoil control without losing lethality.
