5. Marco 5 / KAR98k (MW)
The Marco 5 by Ryda is a well-rounded, highly versatile SMG. It has incredible movement pacing and smooth sustained fire attributes. The looks and feel is reminiscent of the Mac10.
For an all-out pressure situation, you’ll want to use the Gung-ho perk, which allows you to fire while sprinting. This comes in handy when playing ring-around-the-buildings.
It’s a great sniper support weapon, which is why it’s paired with the smooth Kar98k. It does quality short and mid-range damage. The ADS is fast when the Imerito FR stock, taped grip, and Mark VI Skeletal are attached.
The heartbeat sensor helps track down your next victims. Take them down with the stable Marco5, then finish them with a throwing knife. 64 rounds are helpful, but you’ll want to have throwing knives on-hand to conserve ammunition.
The Marco5 is a solid option for your loadout.

4. Armaguerra 43 / STG
If you’re looking for an SMG that will handle short to mid-range, the stable Armaguerra 43 is an excellent choice. This build by TCaptainX showcases the Armaguerra's fully unlocked potential.
The highly accurate Botti 570mm precision barrel gives this SMG a mid-range distance without decreasing movement with the Imerito SA Folding stock. The recoil booster dishes out bullets at a fast fire rate.
With the SG98 Compact foregrip, closeup hip-fire accuracy will give you the upper-hand needed to win gunfights. Sleight of hand quickens your reload time, giving you an advantage to dish out more bullets.
The well-balanced STG44 complements the Armaguerra with its long-range capabilities.
Don’t forget to stink it up with your gas grenades as you push the squads that prefer to hold down a building.
I’ve found this loadout to be satisfying knowing that all the ranges of engagements are covered.

3. H4 Blixen
What more is there to say about the H4 Blixen? It’s been nerfed 8 times and it still hits hard. It’s an obvious choice as a top 5 SMG build brought to you by EyeQew.
The recoil booster helps speed the gun along, but the fire rate is still slower than other SMGs. It makes up for the slower fire rate with the damage points.
It’s not very accurate when hip-firing, but it's controllable while aiming down sights.
The 54 rounds are enough ammunition to down an enemy. Stick a thermite to their chest and watch the fireworks!
Overall, the H4 Blixen is an unstoppable force among SMGs.
