In Call of Duty Warzone 2, SMGs dominate close-range engagements, and you can build amazing class setups to improve the efficiency of these guns. I prefer using an SMG over Shotguns while rushing down enemies and while getting inside a room full of campers. After experimenting with all the SMGs in the battle royale mode, I’ve found the best gunsmith attachments to have for each of them. You can use these class setups, but keep in mind you need to unlock some of these attachments first. Here are the best SMGs to use in Call of Duty Warzone 2.
Top SMGs in CoD Warzone 2 Season 4 Ranked
In Warzone 2 Season 4, you’ll get to select from a range of10 SMGs, and you can build proper loadouts and classes with these guns. These weapons are perfect for close to mid-range combat, and I’d recommend reaching the maximum level with each gun.
In Season 4, you’ll get to use the newISO 45SMG, and although we have a class setup for this gun, it won’t be ranked too high on the list. The reason is simple: the ISO 45 is great, but it doesn’t outperform the meta SMGs like Lachmann Sub, Fennec 45, and PDSW 528.
10. MX9
TheMX9is a fast-firing SMG with impressive recoil, mobility, and handling. This weapon’s weakness is its lack of range and low damage. It also has a smaller clip with only 25 bullets, making it difficult to take on multiple opponents at once. While this weapon is great for DMZ, it’s not too good compared to the meta SMGs in Warzone 2.
9. FSS Hurricane
TheFSS Hurricaneis a balanced SMG that falls short on range and accuracy but has an excellent fire rate with decent recoil control. This gun has a 50-bullet magazine, so you wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with multiple opponents. You can work on this weapon’s strong suits to build a class setup that demolishes opponents at close range.

8. BAS-P
TheBAS-Pis one of the best weapons to use if you want a combination between an SMG and an Assault Rifle. This gun has an easy-to-control recoil pattern and a quick fire rate. The BAS-P doesn’t have great handling and provides low mobility. You can take advantage of these base stats by equipping certain attachments. The loadout highlighted below is a perfect example of having the BAS-P SMG as asniper supportclass.
7. ISO 45
The ISO 45 is a brilliant weapon to use for close to mid-range fights, and it has a high fire rate. This SMG packs a punch with every bullet, dealing a ton of damage to opponents. However, it falls short in terms of recoil control and range.

6. VEL 46
TheVEL 46is a fast-firing SMG that offers brilliant mobility. This SMG falls short in damage, range, and takes longer to eliminate enemies. Despite its flaws, you can turn it into a solid weapon for close-range fights.
5. Minibak
TheMinibakis another fast-firing SMG with excellent recoil control. This gun has a 64-round magazine using a 9x18mm Subsonic Ammo. The Minibak lacks range, damage, and accuracy, but you’re able to fix that with a few attachments. The following Minibak loadout setup is designed to clear a room full of campers and take on multiple opponents in a short span of time.
4. Vaznev-9K
TheVaznev-9Kis one of the top-tier SMGs to use in Warzone 2. This weapon has been one of the meta guns since the start of the game and can build a class to demolish enemies at close to mid-range. The loadout below focuses on increasing the recoil control and handling for the Vaznev-9K, making it easy to control while engaging enemies.
3. PDSW 528
ThePDSW 528comes in as the second-best SMG to use in Warzone 2. This weapon is inspired by the classic P90, and it dominates in close-range fights. The PDSW 528 has a fast firing rate and offers decent recoil control. Its handling and mobility make it the best choice for arun-and-gun class. Nevertheless, this SMG falls short in terms of accuracy, range, and damage. Check out the PDSW 528 loadout we have below that turns this weapon into a meta gun in Season 4.
2. Fennec 45
TheFennec 45is arguably tied for the first spot as the best SMG in Warzone 2. This is a fast-firing SMG with great mobility and handling, but it falls short in damage, range, and recoil control. you may add the attachments mentioned below to build a strong class setup for the Fennec 45.
1. Lachmann Sub
Tied with the Fennec 45 is theLachmann Sub, boasting as the best-to-use SMG in Warzone 2. This weapon has impeccable recoil control and offers great mobility. Although it falls short in ranged engagements, the Lachmann Sub is built to dominate in close-quarter combat. The loadout listed below focuses on increasing this weapon’s accuracy, damage, and recoil.
