MP9 Bullets to Kill and Time to Kill (BTK and TTK)

Attachments listed for TTK and BTK were tested on a player with no body armor and no additional attachments on the gun.

MP9 Time to Kill (TTK)

The TTK was computed by using the following formula: (60/Rate of Fire)*(BTK-1).

Every other ammo type pales in comparison to the Close Combat Magazine of the MP9. Not only does it have the fastest TTK for close to mid-range, but it also has the drum magazine version. The Close Combat Magazine's TTK starts dropping off at 50m, but that shouldn't be an issue if the gun is used to its fullest potential as a CQC weapon type.

Attachment Loadouts

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

Close range is where the MP9 shines. The Sight will mostly be preferential, but the Fusion Holo will be the one we recommend due to its minimal screen clutter. For mid-range, you can opt to use the 8R Holo for that 1.5X magnification.

The MP9 will eat a lot of ammo because of its high rate of fire. The Close Combat / Drum Magazine will be the best ammo attachment for the MP9 to kill multiple enemies without getting caught needing to reload. It also boasts the highest TTK for close and mid-range fights.

Since this weapon is an SMG, we will be moving around a lot. The BCG Light Grip is the best underbarrel attachment.

For barrels, you have the choice between the 6KU Suppressor or a Champion Muzzle Brake as the best barrel attachment for the MP9. The gun has a fast rate of fire, so the Champion Muzzle will be better than the other barrel attachments.

Best Specialist for MP9

Specialist	Strengths
Paik	The EMG-X Scanner will help seek out enemies in a 30m radius around you. This can be combined with a Smoke Grenade to blind your enemies as you shoot them through the smoke.
Casper	Casper's Movement Sensor trait will warn him when enemies are close. This will help in seeking out enemies within your proximity and taking them out.
Dozer	The SOB-8 Ballistic Shield will allow Dozer to get in at close-range, where the MP9 excels at.
