In CoD Black Ops 6 released some time ago, not only did the players’ favorite zombie mode return but also brought a lot of weapon types. But if you want to deal with all the battles with fast reactions, then the most classic SMGs will be your best choice. These weapons that exist in multiple Call of Duty series games have powerful power, amazing firing rate and extreme mobility, allowing you to cause extraordinary chaos in close combat.

Whether you want to take the lead in narrow alleys or want to attack enemies from hidden corners like a shadow in a wide open area, SMGs are your best key helpers. But there are so many SMGs in the game at this stage. How do you choose what's best for you? Don’t worry, this guide will introduce you to several best SMGs according to different game styles, so that you can find the right one and reduce the time and energy cost of trying.

1. Tanto .22

First, let’s introduce Tanto .22. It is not actually a submachine gun that can be used for sweeping, but a good helper for players who like single-shot shooting. It not only has stable power in medium-range shooting but also can help you complete most of the battles in close combat, because it does not rely on brute force, but uses its own accuracy and stability to make you shine.

Although Tanto .22 is a little slower than other more powerful SMGs to fire rate, its low recoil and reliable damage output perfectly make up for this shortcoming. Therefore, Tanto .22 will be more suitable for players who value the accuracy of weapons rather than just want to mess up the battlefield. If you practice this SMG to perfection in CoD: Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies, it may become a very deadly precision weapon in your hands.

2. C9

There are many SMGs in Black Ops 6 that have very cool appearances, but C9 is an exception. Although it does not look outstanding enough, it is your first choice in close combat! If you’ve studied the C9, you’ll know that its attributes aren’t particularly outstanding in isolation, but don’t let that stop you from dismissing it: both new players and seasoned veterans will be amazed by its ease of use and balanced performance.

C9 has a firing rate of 732 rpm (Rounds Per Minute), which is medium among SMGs. In addition, it is also better than Jackal PDW and Tanto .22 in terms of continuous shooting, which is convenient for you to launch a continuous attack on the enemy. But if you want it to be more powerful, you can equip it with a Reinforced Barrel, which will increase your firing rate and range in medium-range combat.

3. PP-919

First of all, it should be noted that you need to reach level 37 and above to unlock PP-919, but its powerful damage ability is definitely worth your wait. Although PP-919 is a weapon focused on close combat, if you choose some appropriate accessories for it, it can also perform well in medium-range combat.

Because each player’s play style is different, you can try this PP-919 multiple times in Bot Lobbies to find out the attachments suit you best. In addition, if you want to have faster reaction time in some chaotic moments, you can equip CQB Grip on this weapon to give it a sprint shooting speed.

Once you easily solve the above minor problems, PP-919’s biggest advantage - the oversized basic magazine will bring you extraordinary continuous shooting pleasure and save the trouble of repeated reloading.

4. Jackal PDW

Among the many SMGs, if you want to choose one that is both maneuverable and powerful, then Jackal PDW deserves it. It can be like a sprinter with super fast speed, or like a sniper with very deadly accuracy, all depending on the situation you use it.

In addition, its very subtle recoil allows you to maintain pinpoint accuracy while shooting on the move without having to use a wide range. Its initial state can clear small groups of enemies at close and medium range, but if you choose some suitable loadouts for it, it can also handle longer-range engagements.

5. KSV

If you want to choose the perfect SMG, then I would highly recommend KSV, which is very focused on accuracy and speed. When equipped with the right loadouts, it will become the most powerful weapon in your hands that can easily tear apart the enemy. This is perfect for players who like to be aggressive on the battlefield, because KSV’s super fast firing rate and minimal recoil can make you invincible in battle.

But if you want to make KSV even stronger, you can also use Ported Compensator muzzle to control the horizontal recoil of this weapon, so that your shooting accuracy will be higher. Or if you want to keep your shooting stable while moving, you can choose Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel for it.

These are the best SMGs for different play styles in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. I hope you can choose the weapon that suits you best with the help of this guide and use it to explore more content in the game. I wish you a happy game!
