How to Use SMGs

Engage in Close Quarters Combat

SMGs excel in close quarters combat due to their high rate of fire, handling, and mobility. With naturally fast sprint-to-fire, slide-to-fire, and jump-to-fire speeds, they are by far the one weapon type that benefits the most from the new omnimovement mechanic.

The best approach to fighting enemies with SMGs is to take advantage of omnimovement; slide, dive, and strafe your way at full speed while flanking targets to get quick and easy kills.
