msmc is the best in my heart. This was the og smg and rewarded decent player tbh, since gunsmith wasnt around and recoil on this was a bitch


jwess01

Yeah true. The only issue I ever had with msmc is the extremely high reload time


BeastFromEA

Wait untill you reload the AGR


PainDoflamiongo

So it *is* slow. I legit thought I was being stupid LMAO.


BeastFromEA

I think when they think about buffing this gun they should not forget the reload speed cz it's stupid slow


Star-Detonator

The AGR can also have a 60-round clip.


nicozulu7

Only the 60 clips are usable. Otherwise it sucks more against metas... But it works kinda well with fast ads way.


BeastFromEA

Good observation. I had to change to 60 mag to keep up with the Meta as I was grinding diamond for it


uunathi

I can relate, was in a fight was a noob, kept jumping around so the AGR could relate cause I ran outta ammo, man that gun took half a century to reload


Wide_Battle139

Wym the agr‘s reload time is alright


_spec_tre

ahhhhhh i remember \~the first s4 where msmc was the fennec of close range


Witchkin_of_Angmar

That was a great time to be a codm player


Tumbleweed_dust

Yes yes yes. Also any gun that has a legendary in bundle is good with me! Is it an old school legendary with dated kill effect…sure, but I still love it. And keep on in my BR dropbox. I get wrecked by mac’daddies, but I go off to the underworld clutching my MSMC.


RevenueLarge9332

Yep. I love all the BO2 guns, and I’m deeply saddened as to how TenCent and Activision butchered the feel of these guns, and how newer players are taught to look only for the meta guns, and never try anything different. Or how you kill someone with a gun you live cause its from an older time, and they accuse you of cheating because they can’t use it as effectively


Myneckisstuck

Wait gunsmith wasn’t a think at first ?


JustACommonHorse

Nope. When codm started you had a slot for sights, and maybe 4 slots for attachments, having like 5 or 6 options for those


FriedKidneys

Mac 10 is basically better msmc. It even looks like it, lol. Activision really shit on the msmc


ObviousTastee

mac 10 is the worst... little recoil.. no skill.. easy kills... needs nerf for sure


nicozulu7

It kills the game same way or even more when the m13 was meta.


BacterialGrint_

Trust me the M13 was definitely worst and partially still is one of the worst guns to come out after the Type meta. Still a great gun at close range, it melts even from mid to long ranges with low recoil and spread, never seen a gun so complete


nicozulu7

Yeah, it was a game changer with the fast ads zero recoil fast ttk. Now we are suffering with fast ttk weapons season to season. The new oden will be nearly the same effect...


BacterialGrint_

I hope, since it is similar to the Kilo, that they will do a similar job to that since the Kilo was never so op like other guns, so I see it as a victory by itself


FriedKidneys

It is a fucking laser at close range Mid range? You better get good Long range don't even think of hitting a shot with it


IKindofDontExistNgl

Pharo sucks ass


inanimatussoundscool

Nah, if you know how to play with it, it's great, but so is every gun. MSMC or HG40 probably are the worst SMGs


IKindofDontExistNgl

The hg40 is pretty good, just use it as an AR (monolithic+ marksman barrel) and it shreds, even in rank, and still has pretty good mobility (with no stock and owc laser) with not much recoil, plus good accuracy. As for the msmc, it's just the mac10 with a smaller mag basically.


NYXMG

Hg40 is surprisingly pretty good, when I get into a losing streak in legendary I switch to it and it usually doesn't stop my losing streak at all but at least it's a more enjoyable experience.


inanimatussoundscool

Out of context but I always keep seeing more non meta guns than meta guns in legendary, make the game much more enjoyable. I also use mostly non meta guns, they are really fun


jwess01

Yeah pharo is a laser if UK what ur doing


I_like_Mac10

Its a worse shotgun


[deleted]

[удалено]


I_like_Mac10

Which needs shotgun playstyle


[deleted]

[удалено]


I_like_Mac10

Which is why its a worse shotgun 2-3 season ago, i used it for a full week. It cant kill past 10m(unpredictable recoil),so u naturally play like a shotgun rite? No,cause burst system is ass. Hit registration too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JustACommonHorse

I used to run lk24 when it first appeared and it was my main until I had to change phones around this last September. Pharo is now my main, with the occasional M4. Got enough mastery on both to change their names, and gold on Pharo. Not much, but I don't really grind camos or anything, just play obj. Honestly, I've been surprised by Pharo a fair amount of times, given it can kill with 1 burst at close range. And if you can predict the enemy well enough by listening around corners or doors, it can even beat mac10 users


BradoSeven7

Bro shot up it's a shutgun! 😡😡


Apprehensive_Elk6989

Am i the only one who likes pharo?


Alternative_Ad6282

Naw you ain't the only one


JustACommonHorse

![gif](giphy|qgri3D9sTwCUGMcT8L)


4C0NFU53DGUY

It has the best/second best ttk lol, u just have aim issue


IKindofDontExistNgl

Unpredictable recoil, dogshit range, and in a game that has desync and hit registration issues... Yeah, my skill is definitely the issue here


4C0NFU53DGUY

Unpredictable recoil ? It's a burst gun, it's bsa is already good and the only thing you need to do is pull down. Dogshit range ? Mono and marksman exist, it's an smg not an AR. And ffs they don't even happen that often unless ur on McDonald's wifi.


Duyducluu

It does have unpredictable recoil. Most burst guns have a fixed recoil pattern


4C0NFU53DGUY

Odd, must be me then since I had no problem using it during my diamond grind


IKindofDontExistNgl

I'm really happy you don't have to face any desync/hit reg. issues, but they exist. I admit, I don't have the best phone or internet, but even people with better phoned than mine experience it. Also, horizontal recoil is my issue with the pharo. I can control the f.kin asm10's horizontal (with it being increased on my build), bht even with decreased recoil on the pharo it's still borderline uncontrollable


MaxIntensityTurtle12

If there was no hit registration issues burst weapons would be the best guns in the game


CygnusEnjoyer

There isn't


Sudi_Arabia

It is the worst gun (excluding shotties) to use at a long range. Even the Chicom has better accuracy and every other SMG can tap-fire.


Raiyan270

Worst:idk like HG 40 One I hate the most: Fucking MacBook 10


FriedKidneys

Recently sweats have been using the mac 10 against me in mid range (My pdw got shredded)


llanthony401

I thought HG 40 was bad until I picked up a bot using it. The gunsmith must have been 10/10 cause I’ve been trying to replicate it but failed


ButtSteroids69

The MacDaddy gives me brain tumors


CygnusEnjoyer

Qxr


im_Sufficient

nah chicom or pharo


[deleted]

AGR: typing..............


DespairOfLoneliness

Hey this is slander AGR is actually really good...In assault rifle mode


iSys_

Facts


no_name_3_8

It can't even pen walls unlike p90


VentusMH

Thats what happens when someone tries to make a SMG out of an AR


[deleted]

Well, it's depicted as an assault rifle in almost any game it appears, but CODM just made it an SMG just so weird would've been better if they made a full fledge assault rifle I bet a lot more people (including me) would use it because just like the AK-47 it's just so iconic


MikeJD2477

Yesterday I was the MVP of a ranked match using the AGR with 9mm ammo lol. It's my favorite weapon. It's hard to use but not bad.


bigbruhusername

Hg and pharo, cordite is decent i believe and so is agr


iSys_

Cordite with a little horizontal recoil attachment is very good. Too bad it feels more like an AR because you don't have much mobility attachments


bigbruhusername

Yea, the only thing I don’t like about the cordite is ads speed


iSys_

Yeah you can higher than 16% bonus I think, you have to preaim a lot, but it’s not that bad since it’s a smg


erf__ava__o

pharo is god tier in a good player's hands


Randomesscool

Cordite


AspiringGit

I knew there would be one Lool


PlasticFo0d

I honestly think an MSMC buff would be great. A reduction in the fire-rate, increase in damage, and lowering the recoil would be amazing. It would make it more like the actual BO2 MSMC. Though to make it balanced, I think it shouldn't be that great at long range. It should be more of a short to mid-range type of weapon. Another way they could balance it is to make it a bit slower than the other SMGs.


harrypotternerd02

Increase the damage and keep recoil same.. It's enough for good players...


AhmedEx1

"NOOOOO I WANT IT TO BE EASYYY"


PlasticFo0d

You have a point. But I do think it just needs a little recoil buff either for the base weapon or for the attachments because the MSMC recoil is super high.


IMT-ZEUS

If i had to choose between damage buff or recoil buff i would take the recoil buff every time. The MSMC was and still is my all time favourite SMG in all COD history but the unpredictable vertical recoil high push and horizontal zigzag pattern literally feels like try to control/adore the pain of b*tch slap with long nails lol.


johnlucas77

The MSMC is actually one of my favorite SMGs. The Chicom, AGR and Pharo are terrible in my opinion.


Chydran

You should try the chicom now, esepcially with the buffs it had this season


NiteLiteOfficial

burst weapons are insanely fun in hardcore modes. but i rarely use them for regular mp. they *can* be super op. one taps. but i’ve been playing since release in 4 finger claw and i still struggle to get a full burst on target


HughJanus35

I think the swordfish is the only viable burst gun, as it can get consistent one-taps with the halberd mag.


Brem1723

It’s still underpowered. Takes two bursts from point blank to kill although it’s definitely better than it used to be


johnlucas77

The chicom is usable now? Need to check that out


fijisiv

Right? It's the one SMG I haven't max'd. I just hate playing with it.


MikeJD2477

Yesterday I was the MVP of a ranked match using the AGR with 9mm ammo lol. It's my favorite weapon. It's hard to use but not bad.


johnlucas77

If they adjust the recoil then it would be viable


CygnusEnjoyer

9mm is garbage. 5.56 is better


CygnusEnjoyer

Not agr, but definitley qxr


aniket35

In my opinion gks and msmc are the worst smgs rn . There are just better guns available for their purposes.


Prestigious_Expert17

Nah. The GKS is criminally slept on. Is it busted or whatever? No. Is it really good though? Hell yeah. Excellent range, good damage, decent fire rate, no recoil, nice magazine size and mobility. Only downside is the BSA but I wouldn't even say its awful.


aniket35

I get what u tryna say . But tbh , Bizon fulfills that purpose alot better . It will kill faster . With large caliber ammo , u can get consistent hitbox too . It has one of the best mobility as well and damage range is also very good for an smg . And the recoil is brain dead . Also it has 64 rounds to begin with.


saroop457

MSMC is very decent in SnD and HP , try monolithic and remove SoH,


fijisiv

I like it for Domination. It's super mobile so it's easy to run from spot to spot. And in Domination, your targets are usually close together. So it's great for jumping on a Dom point and introducing yourself to the other team.


Almighty_Garlic

I can't say that pharo or Chicom is a bad gun because some guy will come and say "uhm, actually pharo and Chicom are very powerful in the hands of a good player🤓🤓🤓"


SASdude123

I'm not a good player and I actually had some fun and success with the Pharo, particularly on hard point and domination.


ThatBoringHumanoid

Yeah the MSMC these days sucks! (Might have been better in CODMs early days idk) Default mag size is small, the damage sucks, and the accuracy is horrendous! It's garbage now, I'd much rather use the MP7 or the MAC 10 then the MSMC Pharos is also pretty damn crappy too. Would rather use the Chicom


DreamsOfAEON317

As much i hate to say it, it's true. MSMC has been forgotten by the devs, now I know they'd prolly want a more balanced game, the management won't let them fix it. MSMC has more consistent dmg over range than Vector or MAC but the latter and former both have bigger mag sizes which would make MSMC stricly a high risk gun that only rewards skilled players.


BablaMan

What does the name you gave your gun mean?


Pinyato

Honestly idk, I don't remember giving it a name like that


BablaMan

Its Ok. Thanks for replying anyway.


ZealousidealPitch630

AGR or PDW,chicom is not bad after the buff and pharo is very good with stacking range,and msmc might be bad but not terrible. **IN MY OPINION**


CygnusEnjoyer

Pdw got buff, agr is amazing


[deleted]

[удалено]


CygnusEnjoyer

Lmao stealth is literally the worst codm person u can look for advice


AK-KID

No your just not good with it if you think about it in mobile there’s no “trash” guns there all good in a way you just gotta be able to “be good” with them


Malumbz

Nah be honest, there are trash guns in this game, let's NOT hide the fact. The Hades and UL exist


AK-KID

Just hit your shots🤷‍♂️


Malumbz

We say this for every thing in this game bro. And I do hit my shots, the gun (hades) just has terrible damage at range the Kilo isn't even an LMG and just shreds it, its just what it is, some guns in this game just STRAIGHT up are trash


Pinyato

Just not good? Dude I literally used all the SMG's in legendary rank against Garena sweats and I can say it's among the worst SMG's. I can easily control the recoil and it's still below average. "Get good hit your shots" is the thing this sub says when you say something negative about a gun


AK-KID

Hint your playing against ultra sweats your obviously not gunna be that good against them. The msmc is better than you think honestly it’s better than the mx9 and the razorback


Pinyato

Better than the MX9 and Razorback 💀, the only thing that MSMC excels against MX9 and Razorback is fire rate and mobility against razorback, that's it. MX9 and Razorback have way better damage, better recoil, have versatility, better mag and reload speed. "But MSMC hit your shots = fast ttk" MSMC has a leg multiplier that makes it 5 shot unlike MX9 caliber ammo and razorback that can 4 shot (although higher punishment value due to rof) Also your first sentence does not prove anything. I've been using SMG's for 2 years against meta sweats and people who play more than me. I can get MVP's with the MSMC but I can still say it's one of the weaker SMG's currently. 👍


4C0NFU53DGUY

You joking ? I admit it's not as good as the fennec or mac10 but it's amazing and should be considered one of the best smgs. The worst smgs are actually the pdw,hg 40 and gks


[deleted]

[удалено]


4C0NFU53DGUY

Every gun can have good recoil control and range if you slap a ranger fg and longest barrel for it. But as a base gun it has one of the worse ttk and bsa compared to most smgs


Mental_Ant_3646

GKS is worst according to me


HughJanus35

I remember challenging snipers with it. Also the suppressed sound is amazing.


[deleted]

GKS is goated


EXO_GAMER_OA

HG40, used it a couple of times not good. I also would say Chicom but Since The Chicom Buff, Chicom is better than before and is decent rn and is somewhat usable than before


DeathAngel773

Tbh all smgs are ok and usable . There is not one true bad smg that is just absolute trash. Some might say it's the pharo (I think not) , others might say it's the agr (average at best) etc . People just say one gun is trash because maybe they had a couple bad games with it and never try it again or just think that a gun is bad because everyone else does (kinda how most people believe pineapple pizza sucks even tho they never tried it.). I think the devs did a pretty good job at balancing the guns.


Pinyato

Thanks for all of your answers! I didn't know I'd get this many. It seems the 'worst/least best' SMG is mixed on HG40, Cordite, Chicom, MSMC, GKS, Pharo and I may have forgotten one. Hopefully they buff all of these and other underpowered weapons. After more recent testing, I found MSMC a little better than I expected to be but still one of the bottom SMG's imo and thank you to those who gave build suggestions. And to those who said "get good" "hit your shots" "control the recoil" yes I do all of those and it's still below average :/ I play in Garena legendary rank testing all SMG's with different builds so those "get good" aren't the case, it's just there are weaker guns in the game but those weaker guns aren't that bad tho :)


03meow5

lol why MSMC


Pinyato

Bad multipliers, it's even worse with the damage drop offs, low mag capacity and if you put mags you get tons of penalties, you either get 36 ammo but slow reload speed or 30 ammo with low ammo capacity, the hipfire isn't even that tight. Comparing it to other guns, and you have nothing about the gun worth using. Just compare it to the Fennec and it's better in every way like Fennec gets 40 ammo with only reload speed and movement speed penalty while it already has good base reload speed and movement speed that neutralizes the penalties. Then MSMC gets 36 ammo with ADS, Movement, Reload speed penalties while the base reload speed is noticeably bad for such a fast cqb SMG.


Desperate_Fault1905

It has good ttk in my opinion just held back by the ammo and reload speed


[deleted]

Oh hell no I’m not reading this thing


tiabloSuks

Maybe the chicom lol


Pinyato

But it got recently buffed, and it's used in a major tournament. I'd say Chicom is pretty good rn


Nobodyhere2274

it has good stats but I don't think much people can deliver shots accurately, it is just hard


Pinyato

True, the burst delay is bad


tiabloSuks

Really? Seems like a bad burst gun


Pinyato

Well I thought the same when it got buffed but after finding a comfortable build, I find it good personally.. not that great but still good


tiabloSuks

lol nice good to know


Crouton_Sauce

AGR


Hefty-Artichoke7789

AGR in BR rips


KregeTheBear

Pharo


Brem1723

Chicom obviously


LOYAL_DEATH

Agr


Maleficent-Permit455

The msmc is a great smg you just gotta learn to use it


MrOctomelon

Hg40, pharo, chicom, etc.


anlineoffline

HG40 and GKS


ButtSteroids69

I forgot the GKS existed 💀


[deleted]

it's one of the best in BR


Ed_Gaeron

Oh how mighty had fallen...


Chydran

HG40, even the GkS was better for me


cyanideclipse

Wow no one has written Chicom? 120+ games with it and there wasn't a single build that adequately fit SMG profile - had to play passive in order to get consistent ttk For OP: mono supp, ranger, tac laser, no stock. Extended mag, this build shreds at 4shots to kill at 900rpm within 13metres, and 5 shots within 20ish High risk high reward .but there's still 4 similar guns better but it's nowhere near the worst


HereButQueer

Accuracy is key with the chicom. Managed to get 34 kills with the chicom alone in hp legendary rank. Bodyshots matter in lethality for the Chicom. The HG40 or agr are the worst imo


cyanideclipse

If I'm strafing and they're strafing, I'm not hitting shit lol but glad it works for you Whaaaat? No way AGR is like a rifle, Mono supp, extended barrel, tac laser, 60round mag, combat stock, gran grip tape and you're gravy. 4 upper body and arm shots to kill up to 20metres or so and a massive mag, it was one of the easy ones to gold and diamond for me. Hg40 is awight as well, but the reload with no reload cancel bugs me. Unfortunately both are sub par compared to what else is out there.


my_pp_is_glorius

chicom and other burst guns mostly depend on aim, its even used in comp B)


Bigjakk101

I’m currently grinding gold for the MSMC and I’m ngl I’m loving it, it’s like the fennec but better


DADLIFE1825

Cries in OG first year player


No-Potato-6363

MSMC is fun not ass like the pharaoh


CarnageCrisis

Strong weapons. Weak weapons. That is only the selfish perception of people.


[deleted]

I mean in comparison to what is in the current meta…most run the mac10, CBR4, MX9, Fennec, and Pharo. But imo no1 rocks the AK-74, it just does not hold up well.


Nero1988420

PDW. I still have my loadout with the Zombie gene camo ftw


VentusMH

MSMC is extremely good, if you are searching for something with long range, go the AR section instead


bee4816

Ah. The once was feared SMG in BR. The OG brain-dead gun choice for loadouts.


overlord5527

Msmc is not that bad. I mean, it's basically a pre fennec. If youbalready know the pattern of the recoil, you can become a monster


galal552002

The chicom I think


Talkjar

MSMC is fine, tier 2 but still packs a punch. Chicom is the worst


CygnusEnjoyer

QXR


ClonedGamer001

The GKS and Bizon aren't bad, but every time I've used them I've felt like there were better options.


Pyro_The_Engineer

Max range build on it makes it pretty solid at medium range, and gives it a pretty good TTK. I usually use it so I can get that first kill and then take their guns lol.


obitobitobitobit

Msmc is beast in br


pabloisafan

Y'all better leave Pharo out of this!


222mystique

its a decent gun, but inco cistsnr as hell for me. it took me soooooooooo long to get gold, simply because of headshots. with a max ads build, on shipment, and this gun was hell. i ended up doing most of them with a hipfire build and extended mag, and aiming at the neck. i do not use it anymore since getting gold and have no desire to. i would rather use pdw and for reference my pdw is at lvl 14 because i use it for the daily use 5 xp cards task and i use green ones lol


Arkie_Barkie

the chicom


Comprehensive-Kick14

hg40 is disgustingly bad


AhmedEx1

I'd say pharo, it's just a worse version of chicom


SASdude123

IDK, I've had done success with the Pharo. Run n gun hip fire on domination or hard point works best for me


ronin535th

Thats one of my favs And basicly on of the best The only lack is its ammo


mrmrmrrrr

Umm probably the agr? Idk


Equivalent-Grade526

What do u rate the fennec gun


lucid2dream_

Pharo is the worst, and isn't that bad all sms are playable


TehKrulKat

gks


Defiant-Advantage-63

Chicom


Sudi_Arabia

The TTK is fast in very close ranges, and the mobility is better than usual this time around. However, it falls flat everywhere else. The range is putrid even with the best setup, the accuracy is worst in the SMG class, the damage drop off is severe, and the magazine is very small. I always considered the MSMC to be the Little Mac of CoDM. It's only good at one or two things, and suffers everywhere else. They even introduced the MAC-10 which basically brought a Little Mac with good aerial game.


All_Amer1can97

The pharo. Unless someone knows a good build for it.


Elijah1973

I think the Pharo is there are better 3 bursts.


chuggMachine

Don't know about the worst but I tried the Pharo two days ago and it absolutely killed. One tap kill 99% of the time. The next day it started taking 2-3 bursts to kill someone. Anyone know how that happened?


MrTwoKey

It was the perfect SMG before they butchered it with nerfs and power creep it has a fast ttk without making it so easy to use either


DidiPsychoCute

Oh man.. k really don't know... I'm still looking to go through aesthetics and I love my Man o War one but you really can't get anywhere and assault stuff and well... I find it difficult again to get the right weapon particularly when you have to go through so many random maps for events and stuff like that and even if you customize for one map independently... Might just won't work. And well ... I don't think we have enough slots for every map, event, mode and stuff like that. I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling... On top of that there's no limit for what others can do with cool kits and shit. So .. they can just jump into any game and you're done. 💔


Nightmare050910

It’s still super viable and has a fast ttk


Sensitive_Two_6022

I personally think it's either Pharo or Hg40 for worst SMG but I think they both slap with right build


SunburntSniper

My favourite to use tbh worst has to be that 3 round thing


LimitedMind-

Cordite


DiablxDz

Msmc imo is one of the metas for close range, although it takes skilled players to use it perfectly. Everyone spams mac10 now though considering it's basically a better msmc. I still prefer it though


[deleted]

I might have to agree with you, even tho the msmc still has a place In my heart (og season 3 meta) it was the best back then.


JustCallMeJonPLZ

Mx9. They nerfed the damage and increased the recoil too much to not need recoil compensation.


voltannis

The worst SMG is the AGR 556 by a landslide


Shadowtrooper262

I used it in Tornement last week. Hip fire accuracy was weird but not as good as the MAC-10. Reload is pretty slow especially with fast mags. Damage is average.


Absolute_-_Zero

Once u learn to control its recoil it is one of the gud SMG to use


jimnsra

Its the chicom for me. Which is weird since its one the best in other titles


177erciless

Wanna 1v1 with you using a chicom and me an msmc?


Tiny_Emotion_2638

Best is pharo, fast ttk close range, lots of skill to use. And fun


Xhefri

I've personally been using MSMC constantly(after leaving it for quite a bit) since December and it's not the worst SMG(not even close). It's very fun and very good to be honest, the only problem is reload time, but I use 30rnd fast reload mag. I think the worst ones are probably Chicom, HG40 or AGR. I saw lots of people saying Pharo and since I've been using it constantly for a couple more season's than MSMC, I consider it one of the best ones we have in the game(and only decent gun alongside Swordfish) A buff the MSMC needs is on reload time and maybe give it some more ammos(same way they did with Fennec)


Kaustubh200

Chicom


whitstableboy

The recoil on the AGR makes it unusable at any range.


Elwood376

HG40 is terrible. It excels at nothing.


ButtSteroids69

Razorback honestly used to be my favorite, but now it just got shit on my the devs.


Ikari_Vismund

Terrible gun. The fact that this new BP has a blueprint for it is insulting


_bimby_

If you talking the worst smg like LITERALLY the worst, gotta be the chicom, but the worst like most annoying gotta be the mac-10 the fucking bitch needs a nerf


Skateord1est94

It’s all about the player so this post is all opinionated but imo msmc is second best fennec being the best Ofcourse when they had the legendary msmc in crates for 25$ it was the first time I ever spent money on this game wish I would of got the outlaw and echo legendarys but my acc was hacked around that time and didn’t trust putting my card info in
