At a Glance

The SIG MPX is one of the most balanced submachine guns in The Division 2's loot pool. With a 25,000 base damage, an 850 RPM, a 30-round magazine, an exceptional 1.8-second reload, and the standard 1.5x SMG headshot multiplier, the MPX hits the rare combination of high per-shot damage, fast fire rate, and class-leading reload speed. It does not have the highest RPM in the SMG class, nor the largest magazine, nor the highest base damage — but the way the numbers combine produces one of the cleanest sustained-DPS profiles available.

This is the SMG you build around when you want a no-compromise close-range chassis. Every stat is at or near the top of its slot, the recoil is forgiving, and the talent rolls are flexible enough to fit any build philosophy.

Stats

The body-shot DPS lands among the top three SMGs, and the headshot DPS pushes past 530k before any talent or attribute modifies the number. With a tuned chassis, the SIG MPX comfortably exceeds 1.2 million DPS in raid conditions.

Mod Slots

• Optic — Red-dot or 2x; the MPX is most comfortable in the close band
• Underbarrel — Laser for hipfire confidence, or Vertical Grip for stability
• Magazine — Extended Mag for sustained engagements
• Muzzle — Compensator to keep the 850 RPM pattern flat

Talent

The SIG MPX rolls a wide variety of talents in the loot pool, but the most-chased combinations are Allegro (always-on flat damage) and Optimist (back-half magazine scaling). Allegro on a high-RPM SMG with a fast reload is essentially permanent uptime, and the talent's interaction with set bonuses (especially Striker and Hunter's Fury) is among the cleanest in the game.

Optimist on the SIG MPX is more situational. The high RPM means the bottom half of the magazine arrives quickly, and the back-half scaling produces excellent burst-DPS in raid conditions. The downside is that tactical reloads cost more value here than they do on lower-RPM platforms.

For PvP, Greased (damage and handling on swap) is a popular niche pick that turns the MPX into a swap-pressure tool when paired with a primary AR or rifle. The 1.8-second reload makes Greased's swap-back uptime forgiving.

Top Builds

Striker SIG MPX (sustained PvE)

Four-piece Striker, Sokolov chest, Walker holster, four red cores, named SIG MPX with Allegro. The 850 RPM produces excellent Striker stack uptime, the 1.8-second reload covers any stack-decay window, and the per-shot damage means each Striker-stacked round contributes meaningfully. One of the cleanest Striker loadouts in the loot pool.

Hunter's Fury SIG MPX (PvP)

Four-piece Hunter's Fury, SIG MPX in primary. The set bonus dominates, but the MPX's combination of high per-shot damage and fast handling makes it one of the strongest Fury primaries in the game. The 1.5x headshot multiplier is class-standard, but the controllable recoil means head tags actually land in the chaotic close-range engagements that Fury thrives in.

Determined Eagle Bearer + SIG MPX swap

For builds that pair an exotic primary with an SMG secondary, the SIG MPX with Greased is one of the best swap-secondary options in the game. The 1.8-second reload and high handling stat keep the swap pressure constant.

PvE vs PvP

In PvE, the SIG MPX is a top-three SMG. The combination of high per-shot damage, fast RPM, generous magazine, and class-leading reload produces a sustained-DPS profile that handles every close-range scenario from Heroic Countdown to raid trash clear. Allegro keeps the talent uptime essentially permanent, and the recoil is controllable enough that the headshot multiplier produces real damage rather than theoretical numbers.

In PvP, the SIG MPX is one of the most-respected SMG picks in the Dark Zone. The TTK on landed shots is competitive with the highest-RPM SMGs, and the 1.8-second reload means swap-back pressure is constant. Hunter's Fury MPX is one of the most reliably-strong close-range PvP builds, full stop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• 25k base damage is among the highest in the SMG class
• 850 RPM produces excellent sustained DPS
• 1.8 s reload is tied for class-leading
• Allegro keeps uptime near-permanent
• Pairs cleanly with Striker, Hunter's Fury, and Determined chassis

Cons

• No exotic-tier ceiling
• 1.5x headshot multiplier is class-standard, not premium
• Optimal range is close — falls off past 25 m
• Higher recoil at sustained fire than the AUG bullpups

FAQ

Is the SIG MPX still meta in TU22.1? Yes. The rifle was untouched in the last balance pass and remains a top-three SMG for both PvE and PvP. Allegro is still the strongest always-on talent in the SMG class.

SIG MPX or AUG A3 Para XS? Both are top-five SMGs. The MPX has the faster RPM and faster reload; the AUG has slightly better recoil and the bullpup feel. For sustained DPS, MPX; for forgiving recoil, AUG. Roll both.

What attributes should I chase? Weapon damage on the major, headshot damage on the minor, with damage to armor or critical hit chance as a strong tertiary.

Is the MPX worth running over an exotic SMG? For sustained PvE damage, the named-roll MPX with Allegro outperforms most exotic SMGs in raw DPS. Exotics offer unique mechanics (Lullaby, Backfire), but the SIG MPX is the better pure-damage chassis.

Closing

The SIG MPX is the SMG that earns its slot in the loadout through fundamentals. No flashy mechanic, no gimmick talent, no exotic perk — just clean, top-tier numbers across every stat that matters. Roll one with Allegro and weapon-damage attributes, pair it with Striker or Hunter's Fury, and watch it become the close-range tool you reach for whenever the situation tightens up.
