SMGs are designed for close-quarters combat, offering high mobility and fast time-to-kill (TTK) at short ranges. They are the perfect complement to a long-range AR or Sniper.
Key Attachments for SMGs:
- Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic, Agency, Recoil Booster) - Sound suppression is key for flanking. Recoil Booster for faster fire rate on Vanguard SMGs.
- Barrel: Shortest or mid-range barrel - Improves ADS speed and mobility.
- Laser: 5mW Laser, Tiger Team Spotlight - Improves hip-fire accuracy and sprint-to-fire speed.
- Stock: No Stock, Raider Stock, Skeletal Stock - Maximizes mobility and ADS speed.
- Ammunition: Largest magazine size - Essential for sustained close-range fights.
