SMGs are the middle option for players that enjoy the flexibility that Rifles provide at the cost of Pistol-level range. SMGs generally excel at short to mid-range encounters, capable of filling enemies with lead in a short span of time.

Signature Abilities for guns in this class focus on improving their overall damage in a variety of ways, such as different bullet types, improved accuracy the longer one fires, and providing players with armor-piercing rounds for improved penetration against tough enemies.

Big Guns are heavy weaponry that, more often than not, are used to cause significant damage over a wide area in the immediate location of a player. These guns are best used when targeting objects such as vehicles or large groups of enemies, as they can easily wipe them all out with a single shot.

Signature Abilities for Big Guns focus on either doubling or tripling their payloads or increasing their explosion radius.
