If returning to Modern Warfare 2 from the previous game editions, you must be aware of the P90 weapon, which was part of the SMGs group in those games.
In Modern Warfare 2, the carbon copy of P90 is introduced with a new name PDSW 528. Even though the name is unique, the weapon will bring back the same old feelings for you due to its structure and power.
The weapon is one of the best SMGs in MW2 due to its large magazine size. You can use it to rain bullets on all the enemies without worrying much about reloading.
To make the weapon more lethal we have provided some loadout and class setups in this guide to make the weapon more deadly. This way, you can climb the rank in Modern Warfare 2 and will be able to hunt down the enemies.
