Call of Duty Warzone 2 SMG tier list
There's very little separating the Warzone 2 SMG selection. Below the top tier, there's plenty of choices when looking for an alternative. The likes of the MX9 and VEL 46 come with plenty of firepower but their lack of versatility lets you down in the heat of battle.
Closely following the A tier is the B tier containing even more variety. The PDSW 528 and Minibak come with huge magazines as standard and as the first season of the battle royale progresses, there's always a chance the list moves around.
