Crush your Warzone lobbies with this best SMG in Season 6

The Static-HV continues to dominate as the best SMG in Warzone Season 6 due to its high fire rate, exceptional mobility, and sizable magazine capacity. These features make it a top-tier choice for close-quarters combat and aggressive playstyles, allowing players to push enemies and clear tight spaces effectively.

To maximize its potential in close-range engagements, it’s essential to craft the best Static HV loadout that emphasizes mobility, handling, and recoil control.

Equip the Auger 840 Light Barrel, DR-6 Handstop, and SPRY 34 Light Stock. These attachments boost your aim down sight speed, aim walking speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and overall movement speed, ensuring that you can move fluidly and react quickly during fast-paced skirmishes.

To offset the recoil drawbacks from these mobility-focused attachments, slot in the Quartermaster Suppressor. It reduces both gun kick and overall recoil, allowing you to maintain accuracy during sustained fire.

Additionally, the suppressor keeps you off enemy radar, making it harder for opponents to track your position while firing.

For enhanced firing aim stability and a clear sight picture, the JAK Glassless Optic is an ideal choice.

By combining these attachments, you’ll have a Static-HV build that excels in both mobility and handling while maintaining solid recoil control.
