When it comes to close-quarters combat, selecting the best Warzone SMG is the way to go.
Following the arrival of the Superi 46 at the start of Season 4, the category contains some of the very best weapons in Call of Duty's battle royale thanks to their fast fire rate and exceptional damage output in those hectic close-range battles. With such a wide variety, choosing one can prove tricky as Season 4 Reloaded continues to progress.
Here, find the best Warzone SMG to dominate the opposition in standard battle royale and Resurgence modes.
What are the best Warzone SMGs?
In Season 4 Reloaded, these are the best SMGs to use in battle royale and Resurgence matches:
- Superi 46
- FJX Horus
- Lachmann Shroud
The three SMGs above possess excellent rates of fire and enough damage to break through the plates of an opponent in the blink of an eye. The Superi 46 is a laser beam while the Lachmann Shroud feels like the iconic MP5 from older Call of Duty titles.
The FJX Horus has skyrocketed in popularity following recent buffs and nerfs thanks to its blistering fire rate and mobility that can outplay any opponents with ease.
Warzone SMG tier list
Our tier list ranks the entire SMG category from the ones dominating the meta to those that are worth avoiding due to their lackluster in-game performance.
Standout performers in the SMG category are the FJX Horus, the Lachmann Shroud, the Superi 46, and the WSP-9 which continues to fly under the radar.
