For starters, the GRU Suppressor boosts your Max Range to near pre-nerf status with a 10% boost. Similar can be said for the 9.3″ VDV Reinforced Barrel which also comes with a hefty increase to Bullet Velocity as well.

With these two attachments, you’ll have a slightly slower setup, but one that almost reverts the SMG back to its firepower before the latest nerfs.

Meanwhile, the typical selection of Stock, Underbarrel, and Ammunition will keep you on par with other ideal loadouts.

When it comes to building out the rest of this loadout, you can’t look past the perk setup above. Overkill and Amped are among the most commonly picked options for good reason.

With any SMG, you typically want a longer-range weapon on standby as your secondary. These perks allow you rapidly swap between guns, keeping you in the fight no matter how far you might be from the target.

Additionally, you can’t go wrong with the standard Semtex and Heartbeat Sensor to round out your equipment.
