The Saug is a new SMG introduced in Warzone and Black Ops 6 with the Season 1 update. Alongside this, Season 1 also introduces the Krig C assault rifle. However, neither weapon is available by default; you must complete specific challenges to unlock them. Alongside these two fresh weapons, Season 1 brings a range of novel content, primarily focusing on integrating Warzone with Black Ops 6.

A new Resurgence map and various fresh weapons have also been included. Additionally, Black Ops 6 receives new maps, modes, and other fresh content.

This article will focus on how to unlock the Saug SMG in both Warzone and Black Ops 6.

About the Saug SMG in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The Saug SMG, described in the content drop blog as a high fire-rate weapon, is ideal for close-quarters combat due to its excellent handling in tight spaces. The blog compares its rapid aiming speed to that of a racehorse, though it has some recoil, requiring slight downward control.

Hip-firing is recommended for ease, with the Saug's hip-fire capabilities receiving high praise. To further enhance that attribute, laser attachments can boost mobility and accuracy in Tactical Stance.

The weapon also features an Akimbo rear grip, allowing dual-wielding for devastating close-range action, though its effectiveness drops significantly at a distance. With a base magazine size of 36 rounds and a total of 39 levels, players are encouraged to level it up to unlock attachments and unleash its full potential.
