Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Submachine Gun is ideally paired with a Shotgun, due to their close range abilities, if you do not kill the enemy with the shotgun, switch to the Submachine Gun to finish them off.
- Make sure to be close range so you can hit all your shots, so you can do much damage to the enemy.
- This weapon can be somewhat accurate at range in a pinch, as the first 3 or so shots are a lot more accurate, so in a situation in which you run out of ammo for an Assault Rifle and need to lay suppressive fire on an opponent to make them back off so you can reload, you can tap fire this a few times before reloading your Assault Rifle.
Counters[]
- The Submachine Gun becomes very inaccurate with sustained fire, especially at medium range, so keeping distance between an opponent using a Submachine Gun and using a more suitable weapon, such as an Assault Rifle, can be very effective.
