MP41 is a Smoke Grenade SMG, lowering enemies’ Move Speed and Rate of Fire on a very low ICD.

As UMP45 is the strongest Smoke Grenadier SMG and is given for free from 7-Day-Login, all other Smoke Grenadiers are not useful. As such, MP41 is not recommended for use.

Watch out, MP41 has come to expose all of you! Don’t try to hide or run now, she’s already seen what you all have saved on your computers.

MP41’s Neural Upgrade goes all in on debuffs to provide a massive boost in damage. She revolves around a debuff called Weakness, with her Skill 1 upgrade inflicting 1 stack of Weakness per second on any enemy within her Smoke Grenade radius. This can stack up to 6 times, with each stack inflicting 8% Vulnerability and reducing Armour and Evasion by 8%, but is ultimately a smaller part of her kit.

The main star of the show is her new Skill 2, Weakness Exposed, which scans the battlefield every 3 seconds and inflicts an additional stack of Weakness for every stat debuff present on the enemy (not including other Weakness stacks). Most importantly, if an enemy has 6 stacks of Weakness at the time of the scan (which is often around 6 seconds into the fight), that enemy will be inflicted with a colossal 80% Vulnerability debuff for 9 seconds! While this debuff can only be applied once to each enemy, it is a staggeringly high damage boost that practically doubles the team’s damage (along with most other sources of damage like HOCs) and doesn’t need any external support to activate.

Overall, MP41 is a strong damage buffer who excels in many situations, particularly shorter fights or ones with tightly packed enemy groups but does become a weaker choice if enemies are more spread out, grenade targeting is unfavourable, or the situation calls for more defensive teambuilding. Nevertheless, MP41 definitely remains worth your time and cores. Raise her to MOD2 for her Skill 2. Raising to MOD3 is unnecessary, as her Special Equipment is just a slightly better T-Exo.
