Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

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

The Red-Eye Submachine Gun is a very versatile weapon, as it can be used in a similar manner to the Scoped Burst SMG, Veiled Precision SMG, or Tactical Assault Rifle, as a mid-range primary weapon, or as a close range spray weapon when Canted.
The Red-Eye Submachine Gun has very little recoil, allowing it to take advantage of its high fire rate and solid damage very easily at close-mid range.
The Red-Eye Submachine Gun is best paired with a rifle that performs well in close range situations, such as the Hammer Assault Rifle or Assault Rifle.
The Red-Eye Submachine Gun has a ridiculously fast reload time for an SMG, almost on par with the average Pistol, so even despite the slightly smaller mag, the reloads are fast enough that as long as they're timed right, ammo conservation will almost never be an issue.

Counters[]

The Red-Eye Submachine Gun has a slightly lower than average mag size for an SMG, so an SMG or AR with a larger magazine size can overwhelm an opponent using it.

Trivia

Trivia[]

Red-Eye Submachine Gun shares its model, icon and animations with the Ballistic Hyper SMG.
- Due to this, it resembles the Heckler and Koch MP5.^[1].
- The optic on the Red-Eye Submachine Gun is the Trijicon MRO.^[2].
In-game, the Red-Eye Submachine Gun is missing its magazine when on the ground or held by the player.
Red-Eye Submachine Gun is the first Reload exclusive item.
In Squid Game, the Triangle Guards are armed with Heckler and Koch MP5s, which is what ties this specific SMG back to the show rather than it being a simple reskin.
