Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Surgefire SMG is very suitable for breaking cover or builds due to its large magazine and high fire rate once ramped.
  • The best way to use the Surgefire SMG in a fight is to sneak up on an enemy and fire the first few unramped shots, allowing you to let the fire rate ramp, and finish off your opponent.
  • The Surgefire SMG, due to its accuracy increase with sustained fire, is very good when hipfired.

Counters[]

  • The Surgefire SMG is very weak at range, so keeping an engagement to mid range can be beneficial when fighting an opponent wielding a Surgefire SMG.
