There are always new leaks for Call of Duty Warzone 2, so we’ll keep an eye on them while we’re still getting the W on Caldera. For this, it’s necessary to follow the game’s meta. Don’t worry, we’ve created a list of the best SMG Warzone in Season 5 just for you.
As in the last periods of Verdansk, SMGs are the sole rulers of Caldera. If you want to be victorious in close combat, you should use the SMG loadouts that we’re about to talk about. Of course, don’t forget to combine them with other weapons in the best Warzone loadouts.
We’ve compiled all these SMG builds from personal experience, game stats, and the weapons used by top streamers.
Even if it’s a bit sad, almost all meta SMGs in Warzone are Vanguard weapons. And why that’s sad: the designs of the MW weapons were beautiful.
The news that will make you happy is that there are a lot of powerful SMGs in the fifth season of Warzone. You can choose whatever you want depending on your play style and dominate the Caldera before Warzone 2.
Vanguard PPSH-41
Even though the Vanguard PPSH-41 is one of our favorite weapons, it’s ridiculous that it’s been a meta for so long. Both the close range and hipfire loadouts are so strong that you almost have to use this class to get a W.
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Kovalevskaya 230MM B03P
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Removed Stock
- Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
- Magazine: 8MM Nambu 71 Round Mags
- Rear Grip: Fabric Grip
- Ammo Type: Subsonic
- Perk 1: Tight Grip
- Perk 2: Quick
You can pair this with a 3-Line Rifle or a long-range Grau for getting a W in every match. Just play aggressively and don’t run away from close-range fights.
Armaguerra 43
As in almost all Warzone updates, it’s one of the weapons that’s very strong at the beginning and upsets all the balances. It seemed that those who didn’t use Armaguerra 43 for a while weren’t even allowed on the servers, so the developers nerfed this weapon. But it’s still one of the best SMGs in Warzone Season 5.
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Botti 570MM Precisione
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Imerito SA Folding
- Underbarrel: Mark IV Skeletal
- Magazine: 8MM Kurz 72 Round Mags
- Rear Grip: Taped Grip
- Ammo Type: Subsonic
- Perk 1: Hardscope
- Perk 2: Quick
If you’re looking for a reliable SMG that you can use in close combat, and you don’t like the PPSH, this weapon should be your first choice with the above build. Thanks to the high ammo capacity, you can fight several battles without having to think about reloading.
H4 Blixen
The best weapon for all Warzone players is the one that best fits their play style. H4 Blixen’s place is even more special because that’s the golden rule of the game. Because if you choose this great build, aggressive play will bring you a lot.
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Jönsson 9” RMK
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Removed Stock
- Underbarrel: SG98 Compact
- Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mags
- Rear Grip: Grooved Grip
- Ammo Type: Subsonic
- Perk 1: Steady
- Perk 2: Quick
Apart from being the best SMG in Warzone right now, it gives you very good mobility and great accuracy at medium range. You can tell that H4 Blixen is Warzone’s fifth season’s meta SMG because it’s already been nerfed 8 times since its release. Still, it’s very strong.
RA 225
What do you expect from the SMG you use when playing Warzone? Probably the most logical list of expectations is a high rate of fire, mobility, accuracy at short and medium range, and of course high damage. With the right build, the RA 225 is a weapon that can meet all your expectations.
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Urban Rapid 11”
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Urban Tac
- Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
- Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 38 Round Mags
- Rear Grip: Taped Grip
- Ammo Type: Subsonic
- Perk 1: Tight Grip
- Perk 2: Quick
If you’re good with the Sniper and looking for an SMG that will give you confidence, this build should be one of your first choices. As one of the newest members on the list, it needs a little more time to prove itself. But it’s already in the Warzone Season 5 meta.
Type 100
Even though it’s got a stigma of not looking as cool as the others, the fact is that it’s one of the best SMGs in Warzone. Especially if you play the game alone. Because with this build you’ll get a high movement speed and devastating close-range damage.
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Warubachi 134MM Rapid
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Warubachi Grip Folding
- Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
- Magazine: .30 Russian Short 36 Round Mags
- Rear Grip: Taped Grip
- Ammo Type: Subsonic
- Perk 1: Acrobatic
- Perk 2: Quick
Thanks to the buffs it’s received with the latest updates, you can rely on the Type 100. You’ll be able to combine it with any weapon you use at medium and long distances, and you will destroy your opponents in a few seconds. The only thing you need to pay attention to is 36 rounds. Don’t forget to reload.
That’s it for now with the best Warzone loadouts. We’ll continue to write new guides for you as new updates come and we discover new weapons.
