Top SMGs in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 - Multiplayer and Zombies

Submachine guns (SMGs) consistently reign supreme in Call of Duty, and Black Ops 6, with its fast-paced maps and Omnimovement, is no exception. This guide highlights the best SMGs for both Multiplayer and Zombies modes, based on testing and data from sources like Warzone Meta.

Multiplayer Top SMGs:

Best SMGs in Black Ops 6.

  • #1 KSV: A standout performer, favored by Ranked Play professionals. Its rapid fire rate, excellent mobility, and manageable recoil, coupled with clean iron sights, make it incredibly effective. The superior base sights allow for an additional attachment to further enhance accuracy or mobility.

  • #2 Jackal PDW: A well-rounded SMG excelling in ease of use. While not exceptional in any single area, its balanced stats make it a reliable choice across all maps and game modes.

  • #3 PPSh-41: A classic returning SMG with a high fire rate, impressive mobility, and surprisingly good recoil control. Its performance is further boosted with attachments like the Vertical Foregrip, and in standard Multiplayer, the iconic drum magazine adds significant ammo capacity.

  • #4 PP-919: Unique for its effectiveness at medium range. Although it has slower mobility and fire rate than others, its massive 64-round magazine compensates, proving particularly advantageous in Ranked Play where larger magazines are restricted.

Zombies Top SMGs:

  • #1 KSV: Maintaining its dominance from Multiplayer, the KSV's high DPS and mobility, especially when combined with Deadshot Daiquiri and Stamin-Up, make it a top choice for eliminating hordes of undead.

  • #2 PPSh-41: While the PP-919 boasts higher ammo capacity (further amplified by Pack-a-Punch), the PPSh excels in fire rate, mobility, and manageable recoil. Its synergy with Deadshot Daiquiri and the Dead Head Augment significantly increases head-shot DPS.

  • #3 Saug: A highly situational weapon, its Akimbo attachment allows dual-wielding for extreme DPS. While a nerf has impacted its overall performance, it remains valuable in close-quarters combat, especially when paired with the Napalm Burst Ammo Mod.

  • #4 Kompakt 92: Its incredibly fast fire rate and controllable recoil make it ideal for eliminating elite enemies like Abominations and Amalgams.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
