A Call of Duty: Warzone 2 YouTube content creator has compiled a list of their top 5 best SMG loadouts as of the current build of the battle royale which may change in a future update. In order for players to emulate the loadouts highlighted by the YouTuber in their top 5 SMGs video, they will first have to grind weapon experience which can be earned more quickly in specific Modern Warfare 2 playlists. Because of this, many Warzone 2 players also utilize the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer to improve the weapon experience gained per hour due to the endless kills that can be racked up through Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint.

Call of Duty YouTuber WhosImmortal posted a video on January 4 discussing the most optimal SMG loadouts to use in the battle royale that may give players the best odds of making it around the Warzone 2 Al Mazrah map. The list included the likes of customized versions of the MX9, Minibak, Lachmann Sub, and Vaznav, but the absolute best submachine gun according to the YouTube content creator is the Fennec 45. The optimal Fennec SMG loadout alters the gun to include the FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel, XTEN RR-40 muzzle, Markeev R7 stock, True-Tac grip, and FSS OLE-V laser.
These various attachments make running and gunning with the Call of Duty: Warzone 2 submachine gun easier than other builds, which may make it ideal for the play style that the type of weapon encourages. The mobility options that the Fennec loadout offers are top tier according to WhosImmortal, who boasts that it feels like “flying and frying” with how quickly players can move while racking up kills. The faster aiming-down-sight and sprint-to-fire speed make getting the weapon combat ready seamless compared to other loadouts where it takes a moment for the soldier to raise the gun in order for players to be able to shoot.
WhosImmortal has assured players that the time to kill with their Fennec loadout will increase compared to alternate attachment combos or other SMGs on the list. Although WhosImmortal has illustrated the perfect SMGs in the current version of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the weapons may not be optimal for long-distance combat, and may see adjustments with future patches.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
