TEC-9: It is one of the slowest SMGs in the game, but it hits like a truck. Gamers who love using high damage dealing semi-automatic weapons will love this sub-machine gun. You can add various attachments to change it into burst fire or full auto depending on your play style, but full auto is recommended.

Mac-10: This weapon deals less damage, but it compensates with more mobility and an insane fire rate. It remains among the top-rated SMG as the best secondary for any sniper rifle.

MP5(Modern warfare): This weapon’s damage output got nerfed, but it still did not toss it out of the meta. You will only have to shoot two extra bullets to secure a kill, which is not that big of a deal. It is great for pushing enemies, offers decent control with a slightly toned TTK.

  • Barrel: Monolithic Integral Suppressor
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip

OTS 9: The king of all SMGs in season 5 of Call of Duty Warzone. This weapon can outdo every SMG in the game without a doubt. It offers the best TTK with decent mobility and control. Run and gun strategy might not work with this weapon, but it is still capable of taking down enemies in close range.
