Ultimate Guide to SMGs in Black Ops 6: Season 3 Reloaded
Hey gamers! If you’re diving into Black Ops 6 multiplayer, you’ve probably noticed how fast-paced and intense the action can get. Close-combat battles are super common, and in these moments, SMGs (submachine guns) are often the best choice. They help you move quickly, shoot fast, and are super effective in tight spots. Let’s explore some awesome SMG loadouts you should try to dominate the game!
1. KSV

- Best Attachments:
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Stock: Infiltrator Stock
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
The KSV is a solid choice if you want to be quick and deadly up close. It’s super fast to fire, with a time-to-kill (TTK) of just 225 milliseconds! While it’s accurate and easy to maneuver, you might notice some recoil and damage drop-off. That’s why our recommended attachments are important—they help improve accuracy and control.
2. C9

Think of the C9 as the all-rounder of SMGs. It’s accurate, has low recoil, and can deal some serious damage. While it might not outgun the KSV in some cases, players love its ease of use, making it a great pick for beginners.
