If you are a fan of close-quarter gunfights and putting pressure on your enemies with aggressive plays in Warzone 2, then SMGs are the way for you to go.

However, with each and every Modern Warfare 2 SMG available to choose from, it can be hard for players to make the right call on which one they should choose to drop into Al-Mazrah with.

If you have moved on from Warzone Caldera to the long-awaited sequel, then you have landed at the right place to figure out exactly which Warzone 2 SMGs you should be using and why.

In this article, we will rank them from best to worst, along with providing you with the most powerful meta loadout for each.

1. Fennec 45

Best Fennec 45 Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
Stock: Agile Assault-7
Muzzle: Lacerta Compensator

As of right now, the Fennex 45 is the best SMG in the game, with a fire rate that will blow your mind, as well as its TTK (Time To Kill). Its recoil can be a problem, but so long as players use it sensibly, there is no better option right now for knocking down your enemies.

Also, make sure that you equip the extended mags, as you will be going through your ammo nearly as quickly as you will get through your enemy’s armor.

2. Lachmann Sub

Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10
Magazine: 40-Round Mag
Muzzle: XTEN RR-40
Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

The Lachmann Sub, also known as the MP5 among Call of Duty veterans, is another one of the famous all-rounders. The gun’s damage and range keep players in medium-range gunfights, whereas its recoil is minimal enough to master with little practice.

3. Vaznec-9K

Best Vaznev-9K Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
Barrel: SA Response III
Magazine: 45-Round Mag
Muzzle: AVR T-90 Comp
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

You can very well say that the Vaznev-9K boasts the best damage of any SMG. As a result, the weapon is extremely strong at close to medium ranges. The only things that hold it back in Warzone 2 are a slightly slower fire rate as well as a moderate kick.

However, learning its recoil pattern is a one-way ticket to holding your own in all the close to medium-range skirmishes.

4. MX9

Best MX9 Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Comb: FTAC C11 Riser
Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
Barrel: 508mm Rear Guard
Magazine: 32-Round Mag

The MX9 is an impressive SMG in Modern Warfare 2, but in Warzone 2.0, it is finally starting to stand out on its own. Its damage is still among the weaker of the SMGs, but its recoil, handling, and speed combined make the weapon much easier to master and make it the perfect sniper support weapon.

A simple damage buff could raise it in the rankings and help it make a place for itself in one of the top spots.

5. Minibak

Best Minibak Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Stock: Otrezat Stock
Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
Barrel: BAK-9 279MM
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

The Minibak, similar to the PDSW, comes with a huge magazine which is why it is the ideal weapon for Warzone 2.0’s team-based modes. It has a slightly better range and damage which makes it the more powerful option.

However, the Minibak has a rather slow fire rate and has a little too much recoil to be dominant in Warzone 2 right now. With the loadouts given above, the weapon will increase significantly in performance, so give it a whirl!

6. FSS Hurricane

Best FSS Hurricane Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Stock: Demo Fade Pro Stock
Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
Barrel: FSS Cannonade 16″ Barrel
Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip

The FSS Hurricane is a pretty powerful all-around SMG, also known as the jack of all trades, but it is the master of none. It features a modest kick, decent range as well as damage. A few simple buffs by Infinity Ward might make this weapon a dominant weapon, but they have not come as of yet.

7. VEL 46

Best VEL 46 Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
Magazine: 50-Round Mag
Muzzle: XTEN RR-40
Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
Stock: VEL A-568 Collapsed

The VEL 46, also known as the MP7 title it had in the previous Call of Duty games, is a quick-firing SMG that is deadly up close when placed in the right hands.

Unluckily, though, this gun is no longer as powerful as it used to be in the first Warzone, and in spite of the attachments to improve its accuracy, handling, and magazine size, the VEL 46 is not meta just yet.

8. PDSW 528

Best PDSW 528 Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
Comb: Mack 8 Ontrak Comb
Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
Barrel: FTAC Series IX 14.5″

The biggest strength of the PDSW 528 is the size of its magazine, which allows players to knock down numerous players before having to reload. However, its damage and range both leave a lot to be desired, and currently, there are so many alternative SMGs that have significantly more powerful TTKs.

9. BAS-P

Best BAS-P Warzone 2.0 Loadout

Rear Grip: D37 Grip
Barrel: 10.5″ Bruen Typhon
Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
Magazine: 50-Round Drum
Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

The BAS-P was released with the first season of Modern Warfare 2, so it is still finding its place among the other SMGs and is making a name for itself. Early indications suggest that it is a mediocre weapon with a lot of recoil and not enough damage to really make an impact.
