Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Harbinger SMG is surprisingly versatile for a more traditional SMG, with solid accuracy, as well as the distinction of being one of very few non-scoped SMGs to have First Shot Accuracy, allowing the weapon to be used in controlled bursts at mid-range. This makes the Harbinger SMG very solid in a 2-weapon loadout, especially when playing aggressively.
- The Angled Foregrip that comes prefixed on the Harbinger SMG can be very beneficial when an engagement transitions from close to mid range, such as when an enemy attempts to fall back or put distance between you and them, as the Angled Foregrip allows you to ADS faster, and thus get on target quicker.
- The Harbinger SMG has very solid structure damage, so pairing it with a high-powered Shotgun such as the Thunder Shotgun or Hammer Pump Shotgun can be viable.
Counters[]
- The Harbinger SMG has some unruly recoil after some sustained fire, and while this doesn't affect the spread much, it can lead to missing shots you could have hit with a weapon with less kick, especially at mid-range. More accurate SMGs, such as the Veiled Precision SMG or Thunder Burst SMG, can be beneficial when engaged with an opponent using the Harbinger SMG at said ranges.
