Deston

New Weapon: MP9

The P90 was a fully automatic submachine gun used by players in a variety of situations. At the same time, this weapon could only be obtained in the airdrop, and was often considered impractical because of its use of the 5.7mm cartridge. Whereas the MP9 can be obtained on the map, and this weapon uses the more common 9mm round. Although the MP9 has slightly less range, rate of fire, and damage than the P90, this weapon is a great alternative for players who prefer the P90 style of play.
