LHC bounds on MUED after Run 2 and the impact of parton shower uncertainties.

We present the updated LHC limits on the minimal universal extra dimensions (MUED) model from the Run 2 searches. We scan the parameter space against a large number of searches implemented in the public code \textsc{CheckMATE} and show that large uncertainties in the limits exist when modelling using parton showers alone due to differences in the evolution starting scale, especially in the compressed spectra. This motivates us to incorporate matching, thus deriving the most up-to-date limits on the MUED parameter space from 13 TeV searches.
