Top 5 Sub Machine Guns in Warzone 2's Ashika Island

Call of Duty Warzone 2 received a fast-paced mode where players could capitalize on the fast Time-To-Kill (TTK) weapons from the sub-machine gun (SMG) class. Well-known player and content creator EyeQew showcased some of the best SMGs in Resurgence mode.

Warzone 2’s second seasonal update added Ashika Island to the playlist for Resurgence mode. The map is smaller than Al Mazrah and is filled with frequent gunfights. This requires players to be prepared for every possible situation. One of the best ways to make it out alive from close-quarter combat is by utilizing sub-machine guns. EyeQew suggests that the player base consider his list of the best SMGs to conquer the Resurgence Quads.

Let us take a closer look at EyeQew’s choices for Warzone 2’s Ashika Island.

Here are the most lethal SMGs that EyeQew recommends for the Resurgence mode.

1) Vaznev-9k

The Vaznev-9k has a high damage output and compensates with a slower fire rate. The weapon clocks 779 Rounds Per Minute (RPM) and boasts a tactical sprint speed of 7.62 m/s. It is easily available as ground loot and is among the best choices for any Resurgence loadout in Warzone 2.

Recommended build:

• Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
• Laser: FSS OLE-V laser
• Magazine: 45-Round Mag
• Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
• Stock: Otrezat Stock

The Vaznev-9k can shut down enemy operators in close and medium-range gunfights with relative ease.

2) Lachmann Sub

The Lachmann Sub is a fan-favorite gun in the SMG class and is dubbed Warzone 2’s MP5. It has a balanced set of base stats that propels it into the secondary slot of several loadouts. The weapon can be used for medium-range gunfights with some builds, but it remains deadly at close quarters.

Recommended build:

• Muzzle: XRK Sandstorm
• Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
• Magazine: 40-Round Mag

3) Fennec 45

The Fennec 45 reigned supreme in Season 1’s meta and featured an incredibly high fire rate and damage output. The weapon retains much of its former glory and can be used to mow down enemy operators at close range. Players can use an extended magazine to avoid frequent reloads while engaging in gunfights.

Recommended build:

• Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
• Rear Grip: Fennec Rubber Grip
• Stock: FTAC Locktight Stock

The second seasonal update for Warzone 2 nerfed the Fennec 45’s damage output, considerably decreasing its TTK.

4) PDSW 528

The PDSW 528 hails from the unique Tactique Defense weapon platform and features a whopping fire rate of 909 RPM. However, the fire rate reflects poorly on the bullet economy as it can burn through loads of ammunition. Players can carry this weapon to engage with push strategies.

Recommended build:

• Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
• Rail: GR33 Light Rail
• Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
• Stock: Hollow Extended Stock

The PDSW 528, easily found on Ashika Island, can be utilized to take early fights in POIs like Tsuki Castle and Beach Club.
