In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Submachine Guns (SMGs) reign supreme, especially given the game's fast-paced maps and Omnimovement mechanics. This guide highlights the top-performing SMGs in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes, based on extensive testing and data analysis from sources like Warzone Meta.

Multiplayer's Elite SMGs:

• #4. PP-919: This SMG excels at medium range, compensating for its slower mobility and fire rate with an unmatched 64-round magazine. Its large capacity is a significant advantage, particularly in Ranked Play where magazine upgrades are restricted.

• #3. PPSh-41: A classic, high-fire-rate SMG with excellent mobility and surprisingly good recoil control. Its performance is further enhanced with attachments like the Vertical Foregrip, and in standard Multiplayer, it can be equipped with a massive drum magazine.

• #2. Jackal PDW: A consistent performer since the Beta, the Jackal PDW offers a balanced combination of mobility, fire rate, and recoil management. Its versatility makes it suitable for all maps and game modes.

• #1. KSV: Similar to the AK74u from previous Call of Duty titles, the KSV boasts exceptional speed, accuracy, and manageable recoil. Its clean iron sights allow for additional attachment customization, further optimizing its performance within the Omnimovement system.

Zombies Mode's Top SMGs:

• #4. Kompakt 92: Its high fire rate and controlled recoil make it ideal for eliminating elite enemies like Abominations and Amalgams.

• #3. Saug: A unique SMG with Akimbo attachments, enabling dual-wielding for significantly increased DPS. While nerfed since its initial release, it remains effective in close-quarters combat, especially when combined with the Napalm Burst Ammo Mod.

• #2. PPSh-41: Despite the PP-919's superior magazine size (especially when Pack-a-Punched), the PPSh-41 surpasses it in other aspects. Its fast fire rate, mobility, and manageable recoil, combined with the Deadshot Daiquiri and Dead Head Augment, delivers high DPS against headshots.

• #1. KSV: Maintaining its dominance from Multiplayer, the KSV's high DPS and mobility, enhanced by Deadshot Daiquiri and Stamin-Up, make it a top choice for clearing hordes and outmaneuvering the undead.
