MP5K A5

The MP5K A5 (usually referred to as just MP5K) is a Submachine Gun released in version 1.0.0 of the game. It is the first weapon of it's category, and one of the first weapons in the game.

Description
This is a weapon provided to the player when they first sign in and play the game, given to the user during the tutorial. It is a weak starter weapon, and is one of the 5 base weapons given to a new player. The other weapons being the AK47, Flick Knife, Glock 21, and M67.

The MP5K, unlike most starter weapons, begin at Quality C, meaning they can be reforged into Quality S, and leveled up to Level 7 for higher damage output, armour penetration, and bio-charge. Like all other submachine guns, they have a high headshot damage multiplier of 10, meaning that most single head shots will kill instantly when leveled up or with a Rampage Shot enchanted card.

Gameplay Tips
The MP5K may be a starter weapon, but it is not as bad when compared to other SMGs purchasable from the store. If you have good aim it is better to not buy a new SMG, but to upgrade the MP5K with coins. The weapon is also Quality C, meaning it can be upgraded to Quality B with 1000 Quality Up Stones for cheap. These can be obtained in Treasure from zombie mode, ads, crates, and events. Upgrading the weapon to Quality B will increase it's power by +1.

Like all weapons in it's category, it has a very high headshot multiplier and is one of the most accurate fully automatic weapons. The MP5K has a lower accuracy than a lot of weapons in it's category, however it is sufficient to shoot perfectly straight shots. It has a higher than average armour penetration, making it sufficient for damaging the same opponent multiple times.

Using the MP5K can be difficult at first as the bullets shoot totally straight. Improving your accuracy can be done by enabling autoshoot, lowering your sensitivity, and practicing to improve your aim. Hitting headshots is much easier, and is more deadly; people with good aim can efficiently get kills with this weapon.

When reaching the maximum level and reforge quality, it is equal to other SMGs like Razer in fire rate and power. The clips count is moderate, with subs like Razer and QCW05 having higher clip stats. The power of the MP5K can be improved using armour reforges to improve the stats of the weapon and all weapons of it's type.

Cards like Rampage Shot are efficient for lower level MP5Ks, as it will make the headshot damage multiplier increase. Damage dealing cards like Balance Strike, Continuous Shot, Heroic Strike, and Long Range Strike are better for improving its damage all around.

Appearance and Origin
The MP5K A5 is a submachine gun based off of the real life Heckler & Koch MP5K, which was designed in 1966 and is still used today by various countries. The MP5K A5 is a shorter version of the MP5, and has a shorter barrel, a fore grip, and no detachable stock. The MP5K A5 in-game is designed like the real life version, with no additional sights or customisations.

The MP5K has went through little changes in appearance over time, the original MP5K design was a drawing of an MP5K with a noise effect on it, like many other weapons released at the time. However, like all weapons it received an appearance change in 2015, giving it shading and a more detailed appearance. This old skin was then scrapped and was re-released in Cyber Xmas 2019, given the name 'Classic' and 'Classic_G' for it's gold variant.

In 2018, a Christmas variant skin of the weapon was released, for the Xmas Carnival event. This skin recoloured the MP5K's body in red, white, and green in the style of a Christmas present.

Skins
The MP5K has five weapon skins: Silver, Gold, Carnival, Classic, and Classic_G.
