Every good Call of Duty player knows that your loadout needs a strong close-range gun, and that’s why we’ve got your back with the best SMG in Warzone.
Submachine guns are perfect for the final few circles, or for when you’re forced into a building and must fight enemies in close quarters. Assault rifles are meant for mid-range or longer, so the best SMG is what you need when it’s time to fight someone right up in your face or finish off a downed enemy.
Here’s what we think is the best SMG in Warzone, along with some others that work almost as well.
Best SMG in Warzone
Right now, the best SMG in Warzone is the HRM-9. Its fast fire rate dominates enemies up close, which is what SMGs are made for. Pair it up with a good long-range gun like the SOA Subverter or RAM-7 and get ready to dominate games.
But there are plenty of solid SMGs that will suit you just fine in Warzone right now. Here’s our list of favorites.
