Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

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

The Surgefire SMG is very suitable for breaking cover or builds due to its large magazine and high fire rate once ramped.
The best way to use the Surgefire SMG in a fight is to sneak up on an enemy and fire the first few unramped shots, allowing you to let the fire rate ramp, and finish off your opponent.
The Surgefire SMG, due to its accuracy increase with sustained fire, is very good when hipfired.

Counters[]

The Surgefire SMG is very weak at range, so keeping an engagement to mid range can be beneficial when fighting an opponent wielding a Surgefire SMG.
