Best Warzone SMG is close-range “laserbeam” with blistering fire rate
ActivisionFollowing the major SMG meta shifts in the Warzone after the Season 5 weapon changes, the new Static-HV stands out among its counterparts. This gun offers excellent versatility across various ranges, boosting its overall effectiveness.
Due to substantial nerfs to the Superi 46 and FJX Horus, players have turned to the Season 5 SMG as the top close-range option in Warzone. The Static-HV, with its 657ms TTK up to 16 meters, offers a high fire rate and ease of use, making it a strong competitor even at medium ranges.
In comparison, the Superi 46 and FJX Horus have 610ms and 630ms TTK values, but their performance drops significantly past eight and 12 meters respectively. This makes the Static-HV a more reliable pick for close-range combat.
In his August 2 video, the creator JoeWo also highlighted the Static-HV, calling it the “new king of SMGs” in Warzone. He also praised its “absurd” movement and described it as a complete “laserbeam.”
You can use the best Static-HV loadout to further enhance its already impressive stats. This setup makes it the top choice for close-range encounters.
To achieve this, equip the new Season 5 attachments added: the Quartermaster Suppressor Muzzle and Paracord Grip Underbarrel. These will significantly improve overall recoil, ADS, and sprint-to-fire speeds.
Next, the Auger 840 Light Barrel and Spry 34 Light Stock combination will further enhance movement, improving sprint, Tac Sprint, and sprint-to-fire speed, while reducing hipfire spread.
Finally, for the Optic, I picked the JAK Glassless which provides a clean sight. However, you can pick another that you’re comfortable with.
This loadout enhances your agility, allowing you to quickly engage and react to opponents on any map. Thanks to its 822 RPM fire rate and 600ms bullet velocity, you’ll have the advantage of dispatching enemies rapidly.
For maximum effectiveness, pair this loadout with the best controller settings and audio setup to dominate the game.
