What is the best Warzone 2 SMG?
Determining the best Warzone 2 SMG is a tricky task. With nine to choose from and each one possessing a wide range of characteristics, there's one to suit all styles of play.

| S Tier | Lachmann Sub Vaznev 9K |
|---|---|
| A Tier | PDSW 528 VEL 46 Bas-P Fennec 45 FTAC Siege |
| B Tier | FSS Hurricane Minibak MX9 |
There's very little separating the Warzone 2 SMG selection. Below the top tier, there are plenty of choices when looking for an alternative. The likes of the MX9 and VEL 46 come with plenty of firepower but their lack of versatility lets you down in the heat of battle.
Closely following the A tier is the B tier containing even more variety. The PDSW 528 and Minibak come with huge magazines as standard and as the first season of the battle royale progresses, there's always a chance the list moves around.
