Trivia[]
- The MP5 is tied with the Desert Eagle for most appearances as a usable weapon in the franchise, being available in every game and spinoff except for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Far Cry Primal.
- The MP5SD is one of the few weapons not to be used by any of the enemies encountered.
- The MP5 has a notch that allows you to lock the bolt rearwards in order to insert magazines more easily. However, the player does not use this in-game.
- Judging by the trigger group (safe-semi-auto) and collapsible stock, the MP5SD in Far Cry is the MP5SD3 variant.
- Though in the game they share the same ammunition, in real-life the MP5 and P90 fire very different calibers, firing 9x19mm NATO and 5.7x28mm, respectively.
- The basic rear iron sight is not a standard Heckler & Koch drum sight, but is instead a semi-circle notch that lines up with the correct full circle front sight. This iron sight is shared with the F1.
- The MP5's charging handle moves back and forth when shooting; this is untrue to real life.
- In Far Cry 5 title update six, a bug was introduced that removed all DLC bonus weapons, including the MP5K "American Muscle" variant of the MP5K to disappear from the game after respawning or fast traveling. Exiting the story mode and reloading it would fix the issue until the next time the player died or fast traveled.
- The Hours of Darkness variant of the MP5SD features a motif based on the South Vietnamese flag on the magazine, with the magazine being yellow with three horizontal red bars.[1]
