Doll review
Overview
Gr MP5 is a Force Shield SMG, becoming fully immune to damage for a short duration with her Skill.
While Force Shield SMGs can be very powerful in the right situation (which are almost exclusively in Ranking), they also have two notable issues:
- A long ICD of 8 seconds. Enemies will reach you much earlier than this.
- Extremely low uptime. Force Shielders can be relied upon to prevent high burst damage over a short duration, but after this they have no defensive options for a very long time.
As Force Shield Mods exist, any pre-mod Force Shielder is not recommended. This includes Gr MP5.
Mod review
Overview
With her Neural Upgrade, MP5 is finally a doll worthy of the IRL weapon’s famous legacy. In one fell swoop, MP5 MOD sets out to cure herself of her previous reputation and solidify her place as a strong Main Tank SMG.
In the stats department, MP5 MOD receives a nice boost to her HP, thus addressing her primary statistical flaw. Her Evasion is still fairly average, but her Special Exoskeleton continues to fix this problem. Force Shield is also finally brought up to 4 seconds of duration, in line with the 5 star Force Shield SMGs.
MP5’s new skill, Blurred Trenches, will increase her Evasion per the number of enemies present when her Force Shield expires. With fights becoming longer, this new skill and all her other survivability buffs combine to greatly improve her tanking capabilities beyond that of the other Force Shield SMGs.

MP5 MOD also gets the amazing new ability to buff RFs on her tiles. This gives her tiles a new breath of fresh air since they are well suited for RFs at night, capping their Crit Rate (with maxed VFLs) and providing helpful accuracy. This doesn’t mean she should be defaulted to only RF echelons though, you should always place her where you think will be most beneficial.
Overall, MP5 MOD is an excellent Main Tank that’s highly versatile and can serve well for AR squads, RF squads, and anywhere in between. She’s particularly important for those that want to place highly in Ranking maps, otherwise still remains a recommended upgrade for most people. Don’t let her old reputation of stealing all your Heavy Constructions cloud your judgement, MP5 is finally a doll worth your time.
Pros
Greatly Improved Survivability
MP5 MOD goes from 840 HP to a more reasonable 905 HP (An additional 13 per dummy link) which goes a long way in helping her survivability. Her Evasion is still great, mainly thanks in part to the GSG UX Exoskeleton Special Equipment she has.
Blurred Trenches boosts her Evasion by 20% for each enemy team present up to a max of 3 when her Force Shield expires. Since enemies are becoming tougher and therefore fights are becoming longer, all of these survivability upgrades go a long way to improve MP5’s tanking capabilities not only in fights where Force Shields are desired but in general usage too.
Buffs RFs
MP5 MOD is, at the time of writing, one of only two SMGs that can buff RFs (the other being Dorothy who is an extra doll). This grants her a solid niche as being a proper Main Tank for RF squads. Her tiles of Accuracy and Crit Rate are well suited for RFs, particularly in night maps. The 20% Crit Rate buff is enough to give any RF max Crit Rate as long as they’re equipped with a maxed gold VFL while the 45% Accuracy will help RFs with hitting their targets, especially important with armoured enemies now often possessing Evasion stats.
Cons
Tiles Still Underwhelming for ARs
MP5 MOD's only real flaw is that her tiles are still not the greatest for AR echelons. ARs won’t often see much benefit from both Accuracy and Crit Rate at once, unless they happen to be fighting highly evasive enemies in the daytime for example.
This is not a huge negative for MP5 however, she’ll still be a solid option for a main tank in most AR team compositions.
