After the initial MAC-10 nerf, players have been experimenting with the other SMGs in Warzone to find the next best secondary. The MAC-10 nerf was enough for players to consider using other weapons at close ranges, and most of the SMGs in the game are now viable.
Raven was responsive to criticism and quickly balanced the meta in Warzone. Players can finally use several underrated loadouts, and there are a few new SMGs that are top tier guns. Below are all of the SMGs in the game ranked from worst to best.
Milano
The Milano has been a ground loot weapon for the past month, and players can have some success using it in the beginning of the game due to its amazing recoil. However, it has one of the slowest times to kill in the game, and players will lose to almost every SMG even if they hit all their shots.
KSP 45
The KSP is the only three round burst SMG in Warzone. It has moderate recoil and a slow fire rate due to its burst fire. Players can get kills with the KSP if they hit their shots, but the weapon is ineffective if players miss just one of the three bullets in each burst. Players are better off staying away from the KSP in Warzone.
Striker 45
The stock striker has a slow fire rate, considerable recoil, and low damage values. The single shot hollow point rounds are very good, but players will struggle with only 12 rounds in a clip. Players should try hollow point Striker in solos, but in squads the gun is not viable.
ISO
Similar to the Striker, the ISO does not have a good enough time to kill. Even after Raven's buff to the weapon, it is still in he bottom tier. The ISO has decent iron sights and is easy enough to use, but it is just not competitive with the best guns in the game.
AK-74
Unfortunately, the AK-74 is not a very good gun in Warzone. The weapon's moderate recoil and low damage values mean that it will lose to almost every SMG below. Players are hopeful for a buff to the AK-74 and the other Cold War SMGs.
P90
In Warzone's current state, the P90 is a viable weapon for close quarters engagements. The P90 has considerable recoil and should not be used beyond 20 meters.
Players that can master its recoil will be pleasantly surprised by how good the gun performs up close. In a point blank gunfight, the P90 is serviceable, and can out challenge the best SMGs in the game.
AUG
The AUG was touted as one of the best multiplayer guns in Modern Warfare early in the life cycle of the game. While it is a good weapon, the AUG has several disadvantages that make it a middle of the pack SMG. The Aug has rough iron sights and ammo capacity issues. Players can use the 32 round magazine or the 60 round drum magazine. The AUG's 32 round magazine is too small, and the drum mag makes the gun too slow and immobile.
PP19 Bizon
Many players avoid using the Bizon because it does not have a great theoretical time to kill. However, it has one of the best recoil patterns of all the SMGs and the players can equip an 84 round magazine on the gun. In gunfights with multiple enemies, the Bizon will shine if players can mix in a few headshots.
Fennec
The Fennec fires bullets an an incredible rate, and it has one of the best times to kill of all the SMGs in Warzone. Unfortunately, the Fennec's max ammo capacity is 30 rounds.
Players can use the Fennec in solos and duos, but will be put in tough situations in squads. The Fennec also has considerable recoil, and it is ineffective at range. The Fennec is definitely usable, and players will not be sorry if they give it a try.
Uzi
The base Uzi is not a very powerful weapon. In fact, the ground loot Uzi has a time to kill similar to the Milano at the bottom of the list. If players use the FSS Carbine Pro barrel and the.41 AE rounds, the Uzi becomes one of the best weapons in the game. Like the Fennec, the 32 round AE magazine is small, but the Uzi's fire rate is much slower. Even with only 32 rounds, the Uzi is a viable weapon in all modes.
