- The Surgefire SMG, due to its accuracy increase with sustained fire, is very good when hipfired.
Counters[]

Trivia[]
- The Surgefire SMG is a fictional weapon that mixes the FN P90's top loading bullpup design with the Calico Submachine Gun's helical shaped magazine.
- The Surgefire SMG shares the same firing SFX as the Modular Thunder Burst SMG.
- The weapon, alongside other Chapter 6: Season 1 weapons, loses its magazine when placed as an interactable object in Creative/UEFN Maps such as the Chapter 5 Modular weapons do, nix the Drum Mag and Sniper Scope on the Modular Drum Gun and Reaper Modular Sniper Rifle respectively, suggesting that it was once planned to be moddable.
