UMP45

"We've got one good UMP."

- John "Soap" MacTavish

Campaign
The UMP45 is heavily used by the Spetsnaz and moderately used by Shadow Company. It is also a randomly generated weapon for Task Force 141 members and is a starting weapon in "The Hornet's Nest" used by Gary "Roach" Sanderson with an ACOG Scope. It is also the starting weapon used by the player on the ground during the Special Ops mission "Big Brother".

Multiplayer
The UMP45 is immediately available from the start of the game in the First Recon class, and is available for Create-A-Class from level 4 onwards.

With user friendly iron sights, optics on this weapon are of questionable use. Many players will find more use in other attachments. As well, recoil is very small, making the UMP45 a favorite amongst players due to extreme accuracy.

The UMP45 has an extremely small damage dropoff: there is only a 5 damage difference between the maximum and minimum damage, and both damage profiles allow for three-hit kills; however, to counterbalance the high damage, the UMP45 has the lowest rate of fire of all Submachine Guns. However, Stopping Power has the ability to grant the UMP45 a 2-shot kill at close range, making it have the shortest Time-to-Kill after the MP5K. As well, Rapid Fire can speed up the time-to-kill dramatically, combining Rapid Fire with Stopping Power makes its Time-to-Kill amongst the fastest of all weapons in Call Of Duty; however, the UMP45 with Rapid Fire becomes significantly less accurate than a UMP45 sans attachment, but remains somewhat controllable.

The UMP45's biggest strengths are its high damage output alongside great accuracy and ammunition control. This makes the UMP a very deadly weapon, and is amongst the most used weapons online in Modern Warfare 2.

The UMP45 is flexible with several attachments and loadouts. Using a Silencer has minimal effect on the UMP45, and combining it with Cold Blooded makes the user a very deadly stealth soldier. Akimbo can resolve the UMP45's close range problem and dramatically decrease close quarters time-to-kill, but the strength of accuracy is lost altogether. Rapid Fire, as aforementioned, also decreases the Time-to-kill very nicely.

The UMP45 is also the only SMG to consistently one-hit-kill in Hardcore (except if the enemy is using Last Stand, Final Stand or Painkiller, or when firing through cover), which makes it a great gun to take on groups of enemies.

In conclusion, the UMP45 is a powerful weapon that should never be underestimated. Its fast time-to-kill, surpassing even some Assault Rifles, and extreme accuracy, surpassing almost every SMG, make the UMP45 a valuable weapon in almost every experienced player's hands. Many players can cause havoc on the battlefield with this weapon alone, as its extreme power and accuracy make it easy to play to the weapon's strengths using attachments and strategies.

Find Makarov
The UMP45 is used by John "Soap" MacTavish and by several Shadow Company soldiers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The UMP45 returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was first shown in the reveal trailer for the game, as a soldier was blind firing it.

Campaign
The UMP45 appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Campaign. It is seen in the level "Mind the Gap" by the Ultranationalists. "Stronghold" while the Yuri and Price are clearing the prison cells of enemies and after it goes loud. It is in the large room where the shootout is with an office on the far right side. It is in that office. The UMP45 is usable and can be picked up by the player. It uses the same model as in ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It also features Modern Warfare 2's ''ACOG Scope. This is the only time the UMP45 is usable in the game.

Multiplayer
The UMP45 appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ' s multi-player. It is available in one of the five default classes (First Recon). It features a 32-round magazine, moderate recoil and clear iron sights. The UMP45 has much lower damage at range than its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 counterpart, killing in six shots (before a recent patch) outside effective range. It does, however, have a faster rate of fire, lower recoil, higher maximum damage making it a two-shot kill at close-range if one of those shots is a headshot and features the higher penetration of assault rifles, making it ideal for close-quarters combat and room clearing. The UMP45 also has the highest range of all the SMGs so it's quite effective at medium ranges too. Rapid Fire is a popular and effective attachment online, especially in conjunction with a Silencer, particularly in Search and Destroy where the limited amount of enemy players makes up for the rapid ammunition consumption. The UMP45 has the longest range in its class, making the suppressor a good choice as the range penalty has little negative consequence.

Infinity Ward has released a hotfix that buffed the UMP45's minimum damage to a five-shot kill, therefore it is now much more effective at medium range than it was prior to the update and is now on par with the MP5.

Survival Mode
The UMP45 is available in Survival Mode at level 4 and costs $2000. The UMP45 is a versatile weapon due to its high damage in close range and relatively higher mobility comparing to the assault rifles which have similar amount of damages; for example, a magazine of bullets is enough to take out a Juggernaut much like the CM901. The gun also has relatively clear iron sights, which means an optic attachment is not necessary. Moreover, the slower rate of fire compared to other submachine guns reduces the problem of recoil, which makes the gun more controllable. In short, this gun is an ideal weapon for close quarter combats maps. The UMP45 is a fairly effective weapon against Little Birds.
