The Best SMGs in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Assault Rifles and SMGs consistently dominate the *Call of Duty* landscape. In *Black Ops 6*, with its fast-paced maps and Omnimovement, SMGs reign supreme. Here's our breakdown of the best SMGs in *Black Ops 6*.

Many SMGs in *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer and Ranked Play are top-tier weapons. Their high fire rates and mobility make them incredibly effective at close range, where most *Black Ops 6* encounters occur. Gunsmith customization allows for mid-range effectiveness, even rivaling Assault Rifles. These rankings are based on our testing and data from resources like *Warzone* Meta.

Best SMGs in *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer

1. PP-919: While less mobile than others, the PP-919 shines at medium range. Its slower fire rate is offset by a massive 64-round magazine, a huge advantage, especially in Ranked Play where larger magazine attachments are restricted.
2. PPSh-41: This classic SMG boasts a high fire rate, excellent mobility, and surprisingly good recoil control. In Multiplayer, it can be equipped with a 55-round drum magazine.
3. Jackal PDW: A consistent meta pick since the Beta, the Jackal PDW offers a balanced combination of mobility, fire rate, and recoil control, making it versatile across all maps and modes.
4. KSV: Reminiscent of the AK74u, the KSV is a Ranked Play favorite. Its fast fire rate, high mobility, and manageable recoil, combined with clean iron sights, make it exceptionally effective.

Best SMGs in *Black Ops 6* Zombies

SMGs, excluding Wonder Weapons, are powerful choices in *Black Ops 6* Zombies. Their speed and fire rate make them ideal for clearing hordes. Here are our top picks:

1. Kompakt 92: High fire rate and manageable recoil make it excellent against elite enemies.
2. Saug: Its Akimbo attachment allows dual-wielding for extremely high DPS, particularly effective at close range when paired with the Napalm Burst Ammo Mod.
3. PPSh-41: While the PP-919 offers higher base capacity, the PPSh excels in other areas – fire rate, mobility, and reload speed. Its synergy with Deadshot Daiquiri and Dead Head Augment is significant.
4. KSV: Dominant in Zombies as well, its high DPS and mobility, particularly when combined with Deadshot Daiquiri and Stamin-Up, make it a top choice.

These are the best SMGs in *Black Ops 6*. *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
