The P90 is a bullpup submachine gun featured in many games of the Modern Warfare series, as well as in Call of Duty Online and Call of Duty: Mobile. It is also briefly seen in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare Remastered[]

"Fully automatic with a high capacity. Effective at close to medium range."
— Weapon description

Campaign[]

In the campaign, the P90 is a rare weapon only used occasionally by the Russian Ultranationalists in the later levels of the game. It can be found most commonly in "Heat", "All Ghillied Up", and "Mile High Club", but can also appear on other levels of the game. Typically, the weapon is found unsuppressed and with iron sights. However, one can be found with a Suppressor and Red Dot Sight in "All Ghillied Up" labeled as "P90-SD".

Multiplayer[]

In multiplayer, the P90 is unlocked at Level 40. It can be modified with a Silencer, Red Dot Sight, or ACOG Scope, like all other submachine guns. The P90 has a 50 round magazine and a very high rate of fire. Due to its extremely large magazine, it is also the weapon able to carry the most maximum ammunition in the game, barring LMGs.

The P90 deals 30-20 damage, killing in 4-5 shots depending on range. Stopping Power reduces bullets needed to kill to 3-4 shots. Head shots generally reduce the number of bullets needed to kill by one. The combination of its rather weak bullets and a slower rate of fire than the Mini-Uzi make the P90 the slowest-killing SMG at close range. However, it is a strong SMG at medium to long ranges due to its low recoil and high rate of fire, especially when firing in short bursts.

The P90's recoil profile is 60 upward and to the left, 70 to the right, and 30 downward. These rates are average to low for submachine guns, and are aided by a high center speed of 1700. Reload speeds for the P90 are nominally slow for submachine guns, but the P90 benefits substantially from reload cancelling. In addition, the need for reloads is relatively infrequent due to the large magazine size. Wall penetration power is low and typical for most submachine guns.

The large magazine of the P90 confers multiple advantages. Despite its weaker power at close range, the P90 is more forgiving to inaccurate users. It also allows users to take on multiple foes without having to reload. Finally, the large ammo supply means that the Bandolier perk is less necessary than for other submachine guns.

The P90 has the slowest raise/drop times among all submachine guns, making it a poorer choice as a secondary weapon or for Overkill than other submacine guns.

Weapon Attachments[]

Old School Mode[]

The P90 appears in Old School Mode with 100 rounds in the magazine and 50 rounds of reserve ammunition.

  • Backlot - Found in the center of the map, near the forklift.
  • Bloc - Found with a Silencer at the intersection along the center road towards the northern end of the map, near Sleight of Hand and the Frag Grenade.
  • Bog - Found in between the two market buildings on the road towards the southern end of the map, near the Frag Grenade.
  • Broadcast - Found with a Silencer at the south-easternmost corner of the external rooftop.
  • Countdown - Found with an ACOG Scope inside the north-eastern hangar, near the Frag Grenade.
  • Crash/Winter Crash - Found in the small enclave behind the two center buildings towards the eastern part of the map.
  • Downpour/Daybreak - Found with an ACOG Scope in the field towards the south-westernmost part of the map, near the destroyed Ural.
  • Killhouse - Found with a Red Dot Sight to the west of the center tower.
  • Pipeline - Found on the ground floor of the northern warehouse.
  • Shipment - Found with a Silencer at the south-east corner of the map, in front of the destroyed yellow car.
  • Strike - Found inside the store near the T-Intersection.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare[]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered[]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]

Campaign[]

The P90 can be found in the Campaign in "Loose Ends", "Just Like Old Times", "Contingency", "Of Their Own Accord", "Exodus", "Second Sun", "Cliffhanger", and "Whiskey Hotel". It is also found in the Special Ops missions in Sniper Fi and Estate Takedown (as P90-SD, but returns as P90 Silenced).

Multiplayer[]

The P90 is again available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but is unlocked in multiplayer much earlier, at level 24.

At any range short of 18.75 meters, the P90 will deal thirty damage per bullet, needing four shots to kill. Damage decreases linearly until 25 meters. At any range past 25 meters, the P90 will deal twenty damage per bullet, needing five shots to kill. The P90 has a four shot kill range of 21.8 meters. The P90 does forty percent extra damage on a headshot, reducing the number of shots needed to kill by one in most situations, although several headshots will be needed at medium-long ranges, whereas at close-medium range, only a single headshot is needed to make a notable difference. The P90 has low penetration power.

The P90's damage profile improves when using Stopping Power. At any range short of 18.75 meters, the P90 will deal 42 damage per bullet, needing three shots to kill. Damage decreases linearly until 25 meters. At any range past 25 meters, the P90 will deal 28 damage per bullet, needing four shots to kill. The P90 has a three shot kill range of 21 meters. A single headshot will usually reduce the number of shots needed to kill by one. The P90's shots needed to kill improves at nearly all ranges with Stopping Power in Core game types, but the P90 can still get hitmarkers at range in Hardcore to normal enemies.

The P90 fires fully automatically, with a fire rate of 937 RPM.

The P90 has recoil values of 60 to the left, 70 to the right, 60 upwards, and 30 downwards. The P90 has a centerspeed value of 1700.

The P90 allows users to move at 100% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 80% of the base movement speed. The P90 allows users to aim down the sights in 200 milliseconds, and the P90 has good hip-fire accuracy. The P90's reload animation is 2.76 seconds long, or 3.5 seconds long on an empty magazine. In either case, the user can perform a Reload Cancel after 1.77 seconds.

The P90 has a magazine capacity of fifty rounds, and a starting ammo loadout of 150 rounds.

The P90 has the standard assortment of SMG attachments on offer. Most attachments work as expected on the P90. However, Extended Mags has an unusual effect on the P90. If Extended Mags is equipped on the P90, the user's sprint duration is increased by 75%, allowing the user to sprint for much longer without pause.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized[]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized features the P90 as one of the four submachine guns available in game, the others being the MP5, the MP7, and the Skorpion.

Campaign[]

In the campaign, the P90 is used only by the SAS and United States Marine Corps. It is a starting weapon in "Oil Rig Confrontation", "Winter Assault", and "Last Chance". The weapon always has an integrated Red Dot Sight but it is slightly misaligned: the real point of impact is slightly above the red dot. It has a slightly lower rate of fire than in the console versions, but has higher damage per bullet.

Multiplayer[]

In multiplayer, the P90 is unlocked after getting 300 kills with the Coalition faction. It is the third weapon of the Coalition faction to be unlocked, following the AA-12 and preceding the M249 SAW. It has the same stats of its campaign counterpart but with slightly lower damage, and its Red Dot Sight is still misaligned.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]

"With a whopping 50 rounds per magazine, the P90 decimates in close-range, multi-target combat. High damage, solid accuracy, a fast fire rate and good mobility all favor offensive actions against enemy strongholds."
— Call of Duty: Elite description

Campaign[]

The P90 was first spotted in the reveal trailer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, near a turnstile a British SAS soldier is vaulting over. The P90 was also seen shortly in the E3 demo of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is seen being used by the enemies in the mission "Mind the Gap", with or without a Silencer, Red Dot Sight or Holographic Sight. Spetsnaz soldiers use the P90 in "Black Tuesday". Spetsnaz soldiers also commonly use the P90 in "Scorched Earth". It also used by Makarov's bodyguards in "Dust to Dust". It has a high rate of fire and medium recoil.

Multiplayer[]

The P90 is unlocked at level 38.

At any range short of fifteen meters, the P90 will deal 42 damage, needing three shots to kill. Damage linearly decreases until nineteen meters. At any range past nineteen meters, the P90 will deal twenty damage per bullet, needing five shots to kill. The P90 deals 50% more damage on a headshot. A single headshot can ensure a two shot kill up close, whereas at range, multiple headshots will be needed to have an effect. A headshot in Hardcore is a guaranteed one shot kill at any range. The P90 has low penetration power.

The P90 fires fully automatically, with a fire rate of 857 RPM.

The P90 has recoil values of 60 to the left, 70 to the right, 60 upwards, and 30 downwards. The P90 has a centerspeed value of 1650.

The P90 allows users to move at 100% of the base movement speed, or strafe at 80% of the base movement speed. The P90 allows users to aim down the sights in 200 milliseconds, and the P90's hip-fire accuracy is good. The P90's reload animation is 2.76 seconds long, or 3.5 seconds long on an empty magazine. In either case, the user can Reload Cancel the P90 after 1.77 seconds.

The P90 has a magazine capacity of fifty rounds, and a starting ammo loadout of 150 rounds.

The P90 has the standard assortment of SMG attachments and weapon proficiencies on offer, all of which work as intended on the P90.

Attachments[]

Proficiencies[]

  • Kick - Unlocked at weapon level 4
  • Range - Unlocked at weapon level 9
  • Attachments - Unlocked at weapon level 12
  • Focus - Unlocked at weapon level 15
  • Melee - Unlocked at weapon level 21
  • Stability - Unlocked at weapon level 28

Survival Mode[]

The P90 is available in Survival Mode at level 46 and costs $2000. Because of its large magazine size, the P90 is very effective in Survival Mode. In very close ranges, the P90 can kill a Juggernaut in less than one magazine, if most of the shots are to the head. Since it is so cheap and it packs power to kill lots of enemies with ease due to its high ammo it is extremely good value for money.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • In the major installments, the P90 always carries an attached laser emitter on the left side of the weapon. It is purely cosmetic, however.
  • After cocking the P90, it's possible to hear a small click.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare[]

  • The P90's magazine can be camouflaged if it is equipped with a silencer.
  • When a Red Dot Sight is attached, it is not mounted directly on the P90's rail, but onto an external rail that's attached to the P90 rail.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2[]

  • The side of the magazine on the P90 says "Made By Infinity OC 1130."
  • In "Loose Ends", there is a P90 with a silencer and a Red Dot Sight, but the pick-up text only says "P90 silenced".
  • If using the P90 Akimbo the muzzle can only be seen on the right hand gun in first person.
  • This version of the P90 has unique Picatinny-style rails on the side, near the hand grip. It is most easily seen in the Create-A-Class menu.
  • On the P90, Extended Mags change the ammo counter into the same style that LMGs use.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized[]

  • Unlike the console versions of the Modern Warfare games, the weapon is exclusively used by friendly forces.
  • The dot on this weapon's built-in Red Dot Sight is misaligned.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3[]

  • In the Create-a-Class image, the iron sights are removed from the top rail.
  • When turning the knob on the HAMR Scope, the select fire is in a different position.
  • On the Wii version, the P90 seems to be wearing gold camo.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance[]

  • The P90 suffers from a bug in the graphics system which causes it to produce extra bars off to the right side of the screen, glitching it out very oddly.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered[]

  • "0045322 PPT" can be seen engraved on the left side of the weapon above the barrel.
  • "PS 090" can be seen engraved on both sides of the weapon underneath the back iron sight.
  • "MODEL PP090 PROJECT 90 Cal. 5.7x28" can be seen engraved on both sides of the weapon underneath the magazine.
  • "CAL 5.7x28" can be seen engraved on the left side of the weapon in between both iron sights. The same text is repeated on the other side, however it is mirrored.
  • There is a warning sticker and white text on the laser. The text reads as "AVOID EXPOSURE LASER RADIATION EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE".
  • The bullets seen in the magazine can be seen depleting after every 5 bullets shot during the current magazine.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare[]

  • The P90 cannot be reloaded while aiming down sights.
  • In a similar touch of detail to Modern Warfare Remastered, the P90's magazine will visibly deplete 3D modeled cartridges. However, it now depletes with every shot fired, not every 5 shots fired as in the aforementioned title.
  • Strangely, it is not possible to correctly aim down sights with the P90 with NVGs active, as it will force the player to use the integral laser sight (even with none attached). This can be seen by going onto a night map (I.E. Hackney Yard (Night)), turning night vision on, and aiming. This will always happen, even with a scope.

Call of Duty: Mobile[]

  • The weapon's model is based on "The Neutralizer" blueprint from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
  • The Singuard Arms logo is removed from the rear sight mount bracket.
