Do you prefer to use submachine guns when playing Call of Duty: Warzone? SMGs can be incredibly useful in Warzone, as a lot of combat happens from medium-to-close range.

This wikiHow article runs through all the most powerful SMGs in Warzone 2.0, ranking them from best to worst. We also include the best meta loadouts for any situation!

Things You Should Know

  • Consider the Lachmann Sub, Fennec 45, or the Vaznez 9K if you are looking for the best and most complete SMGs in Warzone.
  • SMGs like the PDSW 528 and FSS Hurricane offer specific benefits, such as impressive ammo capacity or firing distance.

    The Lachmann Sub may be more familiar to veteran CoD players as the MP5 , which first debuted in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Its slight recoil may hinder your accuracy at first, but with a bit of practice, the Lachmann Sub's high damage and impressive range will make you nearly unstoppable.

    With limited range and somewhat intense recoil, the Fennec 45 might not be ideal for every situation. Its rapid firing rate also blows through ammo quickly, but there is no denying its damage in 1v1 close-range situations. Equip this weapon with the right loadout, and the Fennec 45 will make you a force to be reckoned with in tight quarters.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
      • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
      • Muzzle: Lacerta Compensator
      • Stock: Agile Assault-7
      • Magazine: Fennec Mag 45 (standard)

    This SMG offered the most damage of any SMG in Call of Duty: Warzone during Season One. It was slightly weakened in a patch for Season Two, but it still packs a considerable punch. The smaller magazine may force you to reload more often than you would like, but it is lightweight and offers great mobility around the map.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: Bruen Cubic Comp
      • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
      • Magazine: 45 Round Mag

    This SMG may be more familiar to longtime CoD players as the P90 . It isn't overly impressive in any one area, but it sports by far the largest magazine of any SMG. It defaults to 50 rounds, so its limited damage is less of a concern when you can easily gun several enemies down with a single mag. The SMG is also lightweight, increasing your Sprint speed when carrying it.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
      • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
      • Comb: TV Taccomb

    With underwhelming damage and firing rate, you may have to spray a few extra bullets when carrying an FSS Hurricane, but those bullets can travel pretty far! If you are looking for a midpoint between an SMG and an AR (assault rifle) in Warzone, look no further than the FSS Hurricane and its impressive range.

      • Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
      • Barrel: FSS Cannonade 16″ Barrel

    Like its cousin the Vaznez 9K, the Minibak is highly portable, so players who like to stay on the move should give it a look. It also can hold 60 bullets in a magazine, so its considerably low damage is less of a concern. Players will want to consider attachments that limit its recoil, however.

    Every SMG in Warzone has its uses, and the VEL 46 can be a great weapon for those who prefer to stay indoors and fight in close quarters. Unfortunately, winning a game of Warzone will likely require you to venture out into open areas from time to time, and the VEL 46 just does not have the distance to pierce enemy armor from afar. [1]

      • Muzzle: XTEN Razor Comp
      • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

BAS-P

    The BAS-P, also known as the MPX , is one of the few SMGs in Warzone we advise against using. It does not have any glaring weaknesses, but it is bested in just about every category by at least one other SMG on this list. You might find success with a BAS-P, but you will find grinding for camos and other attachments to be more worthwhile using another weapon.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: 10.5″ Bruen Typhon
      • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
      • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
      • Magazine: 50 Round Drum (standard)

MX9

    Although the MX9 has grown in popularity as a sniper support weapon, players could do a lot better than this SMG. Its magazine only holds 25 bullets (still only 32 with a higher-capacity mag) and its bullets fire very slowly. The MX9 also lacks the range needed to make it effective from medium-to-long range, making it the weakest SMG in Warzone.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: 508mm Rear Guard
      • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
      • Magazine: 32 Round Mag
      • Comb: FTAC C11 Riser
      • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
