The Top 5 Best SMGs in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, Ranked
We are here to rank the top five SMGs that have taken over Warzone players in Season 5 Reloaded.
August 30’s Season 5 Reloaded witnessed an astonishing array of weapon modifications, catching many players off guard. While some changes were specific to Modern Warfare 2, a significant number directly impacted weapons in the battle royale mode.
Our rankings have been influenced by these changes, resulting in the Lachmann Sub reclaiming a spot in the top three alongside some unexpected selections. Below are the top five SMGs in Warzone, listed in order of ranking:
5) BAS-P
The BAS-P has received numerous buffs in recent seasons, and Season 5 Reloaded has further enhanced its capabilities. Several of its damage multipliers have been increased, resulting in greater damage output if your shots hit their mark.
Although the recoil still poses a slight issue, it can be mitigated by using practical attachments such as the Schlager Tango underbarrel. Apart from that, feel free to engage in a fast-paced run-and-gun playstyle with the build provided below.
- Stock: Bruen Flash V4 Stock
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum
- Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Barrel: 12″ Bruen SZ-36
4) PDSW 528
The PDSW 528, another addition to this list, has long remained unnoticed due to its impressive power. What sets it apart is that it comes with 50 round magazines as standard, allowing you to allocate an extra attachment to enhance its performance.
In order to achieve this objective, we are focused on optimizing speed and maneuverability, enabling you to swiftly engage enemies and support yourself with a high volume of bullets and a fast aim-down-sight capability. Please refer to the information below:
- Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Stock: CQ Stock
- Comb: TV TACCOMB
- Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
3) Lachmann Sub
Before S5R, we eliminated the Lachmann Sub from the top three. However, it continues to impress with its remarkable damage output. Despite its slight drawbacks in recoil control and range, its high fire-rate and quick aim-down-sights capability still stand out.
The enduring popularity of this weapon is likely due to its iron sights and the nostalgic appeal for the iconic MP5s from the past. Regardless, the optimal configuration for your best loadout is provided below:
- Muzzle: XTEN RR-40
- Magazine: 40 Round Mags
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
- Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10
2) ISO 45
Despite being nerfed in Season 4, the ISO 45 remains unrivaled as one of the most efficient close-range killing weapons. Its impressive fire-rate, responsive handling, and exceptional mobility make it an invaluable choice for those using SMGs.
As competitor nerfs further solidify its dominance in the weapon class, we have successfully secured the second spot. With the latter parts of Season 5 yet to unfold, there is even a possibility of closing in on the first spot.
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Magazine: 45 Round Drum
- Barrel: 9″ PTX Trainer
- Stock: SK-3 Cheetah
- Rear Grip: EXP Shear
1) VEL 46
Initially, the VEL 46, also known as the MP7, faced difficulties in establishing its presence during the earlier seasons of Warzone. Its impressive attributes of a rapid fire-rate and enhanced mobility were overshadowed by its lackluster damage output. Nevertheless, numerous enhancements to its damage capabilities have significantly improved its effectiveness, propelling it to the top as the ultimate weapon for close-quarters combat in the battle royale.
Despite its improvements in range and accuracy with our selected attachments, the weapon still faces challenges at longer distances. However, when it comes to close-quarters combat, there is no other SMG that can eliminate enemies as quickly as this one, particularly after the enhancements it received in Season 5.
- Ammunition: 4.6mm Overpressured
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Rear Grip: Schlager Soldier Grip
- Magazine: 50 Round Mag
- Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
