Strategy Guide

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Flex SMG is one of the most versatile SMGs in the game due to its alternate fire modes when ADS and hipfired. The slower, more accurate ADS fire mode allows for solid mid-range performance, even keeping up with some ARs, and the faster, higher spread hipfire allows for a great weapon to swap to after hitting a high damage shot at close range with a Shotgun.
- The ADS fire mode of the Flex SMG is very rewarding of headshots, doing up to 40 damage a headshot.
- When applying pressure on structures with the Flex SMG, it is best to ADS since the structure damage matches the ADS player damage, and is also a better option because the DPS of the ADS mode is actually the higher DPS.
Counters[]
- The Flex SMG can be outgunned at close range by more spray-and-pray SMGs like the Dual Micro SMGs.
- Despite being more accurate than most SMGs, the Flex SMG can still be outgunned by more dedicated ARs.
