If you want to dominate the meta in Black Ops 2, you might want to think about using the MSMC. However, with an abundance of choice from Perks, equipment, and Attachments, but only 10 slots to use, you might be struggling to figure out what you should be running. Luckily for you, we've got the best MSMC class setup in Black Ops 2, so you can copy the loadout below and see why you'll claim top spot on the leaderboards!

The loadout below is my personal preference when using the MSMC, so you might want to swap out the Attachments and Perks for something that benefits your play style, as I would much rather "run and gun".

Best MSMC Attachments

Best MSMC Attachments
  • Long Barrel
  • Quickdraw Handle
  • Fast Mag

I like to use Long Barrel on the MSMC because it increases the range, making it more effective for those 4-hit kills when enemies aren't directly in front of you.

Quickdraw is also a must in my opinion, as faster aiming will help you snap to ADS to land those headshots in direct confrontations with other players.

I like to use the Primary Gunfighter Wildcard to pull a third attachment, which I use for Fast Mag. Reloading faster is more important than you'd think, as the MSMC can eat through ammo, and you'll want to reload fast to get back into action.

You can switch out Long Barrel for the Suppressor if you want to play more stealthily, but I found the Long Barrel more effective in gunfights, and if anyone is watching the radar for my firing, then they're just walking into my trap.

Best MSMC Perks

Best MSMC Perks
  • Lightweight
  • Toughness
  • Scavenger
  • Tactical Mask

I'm bringing Lightweight as my Perk 1 slot, although I don't exactly care for "take no fall damage while falling"; I do care about moving faster. With an SMG, I'm already pretty quick, but Lightweight helps keep the momentum going when I'm pushing to other zones.

I'm using Perk 2 Greed to bring both Toughness and Scavenger into my Perk 2 slots. Toughness helps me win more direct confrontations, as I will flinch less when shot, which helps my aim to be more accurate. Scavenger is also a must-have because if you intend to run high killstreaks, the last thing you want is to run out of ammo.

My final perk in Perk 3 is Tactical Mask. You'd be surprised how many Shock Charges and Concussion Grenades are being thrown in the meta, so Tactical Mask will help negate the effects of this tactical equipment so you can counter and make the push against your enemies.

For Perk 3, you could switch out to Dexterity, which will further improve your ADS after sprinting. However, I found myself getting hit with tactical grenades far too often to warrant faster aim when I already have Quickdraw.

Best MSMC Wildcards

Best MSMC Wildcards
  • Primary Gunfighter
  • Perk 2 Greed

I forfeit any Lethal and Tactical equipment for the sake of two Wildcards with Primary Gunfighter and Perk 2 Greed. This loadout is all about the MSMC, so why not enhance it with a 3rd attachment and a second Perk 2 slot?

Best MSCM Scorestreaks

Best MSCM Scorestreaks
  • Counter-UAV (600 Points)
  • Lodestar (1,500 Points)
  • VTOL Warship (1,600 Points)

My first Scorestreak is the Counter-UAV, as not only will I get +10 assist points for every kill my teammates get during the active period, but I'll also be able to stop the enemy team from trying to narrow down my position, as my gunfire will be disabled on their map.

I like to then run the Lodestar, as this Scorestreak is capable of effectively spawn-trapping the enemy team with a barrage of fast-firing missiles that ensure the pressure is constantly applied to them.

For my final Scorestreak, the VTOL Warship works as a treat. I can just hold down the trigger to unleash lead on enemy spawn lanes, once again trapping them in spawn until they rage quit, hide in buildings, or accept the inevitability of defeat.
