MP7 with Holo A, Compensator and laser for a rifle that rewards controlling the vertical climb yourself, P12 with Muzzle Brake and laser as a matching backup, and Nitro Cell as the default utility.
Why it works
Compensator is the pick when you already keep the MP7 controlled vertically and horizontal drift is what actually costs you during a spray. It's less forgiving than Flash Hider, but Bandit's short-range roaming duels reward that control. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean for close encounters, and the laser speeds up aiming down sights for the trades that follow. The P12 mirrors it with Muzzle Brake and the same laser attachment for a consistent backup.
Who it is best for
Players roaming aggressively while still denying the hard breach.
Attachment roles: the laser aids aiming speed, the angled grip aids reload speed, and the horizontal grip aids movement speed. Ubisoft attachment rework. Check available options in game.

These do not all agree, and that is fine. Community percentages describe what players prefer, not what wins more rounds. A popular pick is not wrong, and the expert pick may simply be tuned for a situation most players do not play.

NATO. Clear centre, but obstructs more peripheral vision than a red dot.

No optic. The cleanest peripheral vision, and nothing to obstruct a close angle.
