- — In-Game Description
The Compact SMG is a Submachine Gun in Fortnite OG that was introduced in OG Chapter 1: Season 5.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Compact SMG is a fast firing, short range and high hip-fire accuracy weapon, in line with most SMGs in the game. The purpose of the Submachine Gun is to deal high amounts of DPS in a close range environment, similar to a shotgun. The weapon can function at longer ranges, but the damage falloff is high and the accuracy low.
The Compact SMG is a Hitscan weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire. This spread is decreased whilst crouching.

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Compact SMG is ideal paired with a Shotgun, due to their close range abilities, if you do not kill the enemy with the shotgun, switch to the Compact SMG to finish them off.
- The Compact SMG's large magazine of 40 rounds allows it 4 seconds of sustained fire. This makes it a powerful tool to pressure buildings and opponents alike.
- Its larger magazine size comes with a disadvantage of a 3 second reload time, which is enough time for an opponent to drink a Small Shield Potion.
- The Compact SMG has very high damage drop off at range. This, combined with its accuracy, makes it unsuitable as a weapon to be used beyond close range, even at the start of a match if it's your only gun.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The Compact SMG is modeled after the Belgian FN P90.
- The P90 model itself differs drastically from its real life counterpart. As the magazine, receiver and carry handle have been moved more forward from the bolt, leaving the stock to be very short as a result. With this a foregrip was added to use up the newly added space.
