5 must-try SMGs for Call of Duty Warzone's Rebirth Island after Season 4 Reloaded patch

Rebirth Island is one of the smaller maps that a player can land in the Call of Duty Warzone. It was modeled after the famous Alcatraz Prison Island map from the Call of Duty Blackout.

The map is known for its fast-paced, adrenalin-pumping style of gameplay, where players eliminate their opponents in multi-tiered buildings that are placed in close proximity to each other.

Due to gunfights being mainly limited to close-to-mid range engagements, the presence of a low time-to-kill (TTK) SMG is a must in players' inventory. A meta SMG for Rebirth Island must have high mobility and damage value along with good recoil control and fast TTK.

The count of the total number of weapons in Call of Duty Warzone is slowly inching towards the double centuries, and as such, it is getting harder for players to choose which gun to take to the battlefield. Thus, this article will reference the top five meta SMGs for Rebirth Island for the convenience of the readers.
