There's very little separating the Warzone SMG selection. Below the top tier, there are plenty of choices when looking for an alternative. The likes of the ISO 9mm and the Fennec 45 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 Lachmann Sub 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.

As the meta continues to evolve, we'll be sure to continue updating our SMG tier list with any broken builds and weapons that are worth avoiding.
