What the SMG is good for

The SMG is the first automatic gun, made for bosses that keep moving, such as the Blue Shark and the Pufferfish.

Its recoil is the only weakness, which the Compensator fixes.

Where to buy the SMG and what to fit

Buy it for $650 at the Desert kiosk (also sold on the Rocks and Volcano islands).

Fit the Extended Mag ($320, 30 to 40 rounds) and the Compensator ($600), then every bullet upgrade the kiosk sells.

SMG damage compared with the other guns

At base it deals about 480 damage per second, against 340 for the Shotgun and 570 for the $20,000 Assault Rifle.

Game8 and a popular video both rank it S. It tops out at 70 per bullet at tier 12, lower per shot than the Pistol, but its fire rate keeps it ahead.
