Burst SMG

Functionality[]

The Burst SMG is a high damage submachine gun which fires in a four round burst configuration. Like other SMGs, it is a short range weapon with good hipfire accuracy. The weapon can function at longer ranges, but the damage falloff is high and the accuracy low.

The Burst SMG is a Hitscan weapon without First Shot Accuracy.

Strategy[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• The Burst SMG is ideal paired with a Shotgun. After firing a high-damage shotgun shot, switch to the Burst SMG to finish the opponent off.
• The Uncommon & Rare Burst SMGs deal 100+ in a single burst, meaning that it can eliminate a player with full health & shield in two bursts. (Two-and-a-half in Zero Build)
• The Burst SMG has the same damage drop-off pattern as the Suppressed Submachine Gun, meaning that it can be used efficiently at medium ranges. However, you should practice to maintain its vertical kick, which luckily resets at its original position after every burst.
  • If you're good with this weapon, you could even replace an assault rifle if needed.
• The Burst SMG is able to shred through multiple player's buildings in few seconds, and if you time it perfectly you can pass multiple bullets through them and hit enemies on the other side of a wall.
• The Burst SMG has a long reload time, so make sure to manage its remaining ammo appropriately.
• The Burst SMG's hip-fire accuracy is very good, so you don't need to aim in at very close ranges.

Counters[]

• Despite its high DPS and very good spread, the Burst SMG can still be overwhelmed by fully automatic SMGs.
• Keeping yourself at longer ranges when engaging with an opponent wielding a Burst SMG can be beneficial, as despite it's excellent accuracy, it becomes weak and somewhat hard to control with its vertical recoil.

Weapon ID[]
