Our loadout focuses on improving its range, recoil control, and mobility to get ahead of the competition. The Lachmann 556 boasts excellent damage range and fire rate, so improving other key areas will take you far when trying to survive the bigger than ever Warzone 2 map.

The best Warzone 2 SMG is part of a versatile group of weapons, able to fill in as a solid secondary when paired with one of the best Warzone 2 sniper rifles, or as a primary if you're the type of player who enjoys getting up close and personal.

The best Warzone 2 SMG in season 1 is the Lachmann Sub, also known as the MP5. This gun has the best mobility out of all the best Warzone 2 guns, and it packs a serious punch up close if you kit it out with the right attachments, so much so it also features in our guide to the overall best Warzone 2 loadout drops. Here's our full list of the best Warzone 2 SMGs and the attachments you'll want to kit them out with in the battle royale game.

     Best Warzone 2 TAQ-V loadout

After the best Warzone 2 TAQ-V loadout? The battle rifle version of the Scar-inspired TAQ-56 is arguably the best iteration in the weapon platform, taking the slow, chugging rate of fire of its smaller sibling and pairing it with devastating 7.62mm rounds. Unlike some battle rifles, the TAQ-V has a full-auto fire mode by default, making it easy to use in all situations, and a wide array of weapon setups are available once you've unlocked all the right attachments.

As we saw with the dominance of the FAL in Warzone 1, battle rifles can be extremely effective thanks to their damage ranges and bullet velocity, plus their handiness in a CQC situation. We've built a couple of TAQ-V variants to help you figure out the right loadout for you.

     Best Warzone 2 556 Icarus loadout

If you want a great LMG then our best Warzone 2 556 Icarus loadout is great for the longer ranges of Al Mazrah. In its base form, the 556 Icarus boasts relatively stable recoil, a very fast rate of fire and a decent ammo count, but it can struggle as soon as you start taking on long-range fights.

Our Warzone 556 Icarus build extends the effective damage range of the LMG, while also working to improve the recoil control and stabilisation as much as possible. The result is a gun that can hose enemies all the way up to sniper distances on the Warzone 2 map. Even if you can't secure the kill at that range, the cumulative chip damage means they'll be low on armour plates by the time you make it over to them.

Looking for a great Warzone 2 SP-R 208 loadout? Marksman rifles are one of the strongest weapons in MW2 and they're just as powerful in Warzone 2, though you do need to use the right attachments. The SP-R 208 is strong thanks to its lightning-fast aim-down sight speed and ability to kill with a single upper body shot at close and medium range. The damage dropoff, armour, and long sightlines of Warzone 2 mean you're not going to get one-shot kills, even to the head, but as we saw with the Kar-98k in the first Warzone, that doesn't mean it's not any good.

If you've ever played BioShock, you'll know just how wrong building an underwater city can go. Now, underwater city builder Surviving the Abyss asks what you would do differently in a Paradox base-building survival game tinged with Lovecraftian horror.

For the best FSS Hurricane loadout in Warzone 2, you should seek to improve the SMG's range while keeping it fast and light. After all, the Warzone 2 map is bigger than ever, so the action may primarily focus on mid-to-long-range combat. Another priority of this build is to reduce kickback as much as possible, so we've included attachments that reduce recoil control, enabling you to fire out those bullets quickly and accurately.

With this loadout, you'll have double the weapons and therefore double the chance of filling your opponents with lead.

     Best Warzone 2 Minibak loadout

Looking for the best Warzone 2 Minibak loadout? The past few CODs have all had some version of the Bizon, whether it's been called that or Bullfrog or the PP-19. It's an SMG that comes with a huge benefit baked right into the base model: it's got a huge underbarrel drum magazine that holds 64 rounds.

Not having to take a big hit to mobility in order to carry a larger magazine is a huge benefit, so the main focus of our Warzone 2 Minibak loadout is to improve the aim-down sight speed and recoil control. By all accounts, the damage dropoff and effective range of full-auto weapons in Warzone 2 is a lot less forgiving, so we've tailored this build to run 'n' gun enthusiasts in the FPS game.

You may be familiar with AQ soldiers – members of the Al Qatala terrorist organisation – in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. They appear in Warzone 2 as AI-controlled opponents, and you're almost guaranteed to encounter them during a match.

AQ soldiers appear in all modes of Warzone 2, including DMZ, and typically wield LMGs and sniper rifles. Individually, they don't present much of a threat, though you can run the risk of being overcome if they advance in large numbers. Some of them may also be heavily armoured, so be sure to coordinate with allies via Warzone 2 proximity chat if required.

     How to repair and refuel vehicles in Warzone 2

If you're planning a road trip across Al Mazrah, knowing how to repair and refuel vehicles in Warzone 2 is essential in order to reach your destination in one piece. Al Mazrah is massive, so if you're looking to quickly and efficiently complete objectives you won't get anywhere fast while travelling on foot. The best course of action is to find yourself a set of wheels, but using a vehicle makes you a very obvious target for enemy combatants.

Thankfully, unlike the vehicles in the last battle royale game in the series, Warzone 2 vehicles can receive maintenance to extend their use after they've sustained damage. The downside is that they now require fuel in order to run, and if you're not paying attention to how much gas you've got in the tank, you can easily find yourself stranded and vulnerable in the middle of the Warzone 2 map. Without further ado, here's how to repair and refuel vehicles in Warzone 2.

Our best Warzone 2 Signal 50 loadout is all about damage range and bullet velocity. The new COD battle royale is much tougher on full-auto weapons beyond medium range, so sniper rifles are your best bet for taking down very distant targets.

One-shot kills are very difficult to secure when there are armour plates at play, so if you want to quickly put an enemy squad on notice you'll want a sniper that can down - or at least severely hurt - an enemy with a single well-placed shot.

Ever had a real-life experience where you're something like 90% sure you're actually in a horror film? Answers in the comments, please. Now, imagine that, but also someone asks you to pop your phone in a lockbox, you know, for safekeeping. Also, they say something like "You won't need it where we're going" and then do a murder wink at an imaginary camera. Something quite similar to this happens to our ill-fated documentary crew early in The Devil In Me. 'Aha!' I thought. Supermassive are being knowingly, playfully tropey again. Great. These games are best when they lean into the cheese like a drunk buffet guest, and I was pumped to watch it stumble around a schlocky murder party and get baked brie all over the elbows of its best tux.

For those yet to stick their snout into Supermassive's truffle-trove of horror offerings, the basic premise of these narrative adventure games can best be summarised: What if shouting at the screen to try and stop idiot characters performing horror film no-nos actually worked? The formula was both invented and, miraculously, perfected in 2015's Until Dawn. Since then, the studio have released three 'episodic' (although narratively independent) Dark Pictures titles, and The Quarry, all of which can best be summarised: Like Until Dawn, but not as good.

Gordon had replied to an open letter published on Reddit by id Software executive producer Marty Stratton, more than two years after Stratton's letter was posted online.

Samurai Maiden Komimi Trailer Features Characters Getting Close

The parade of Samurai Maiden trailers starring supporting characters continues with Komimi. She's yet another ninja who will aid Tsumugi. After the young woman finds herself in the past and made the Priestess of Harmony, she needs to rely on assistance from warriors like Komimi to get by.

As usual, the Samurai Maiden trailer begins with Komimi's official art. Then, it highlights the fact that this hammer-wielding warrior is also part fox. We get to see how her attacks can work. In addition to heavy hits, she can inflict ice-based damage or infuse Tsumugi's attacks with ice. She also has a bomb she can use. A bit of a story segment comes up after, showing Komimi will stick around because Tsumugi is getting stronger. Things end with the two heroines taking a selfie together.

Komimi's voice actress is Miyu Tomita. She voices Genshin Impact's new character Layla, Riko from Made in Abyss, and Chuatury from Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

In case you missed it, two other characters appeared in past Samurai Maiden trailers. One looked at a ninja named Iyo. The other starred Hagane, who has a mechanical arm. Each one seems to have a different element associated with her. Iyo's ability infused Tsumugi's weapon with fire. Hagane's involved electricity.

Samurai Maiden will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5 on December 1, 2022 in Japan and on December 8, 2022 worldwide. The PC version will show up on Steam worldwide on December 8, 2022.
