Which Battlefield 6 SMG Is The Best?

Watch next: Which Battlefield 6 Carbine Is The Best?    • Which Battlefield 6 Carbine Is The Best?  

In this video, I rank every SMG in Battlefield 6 into a complete tier list, and based on community discussions on Reddit and YouTube, this one might be a little controversial. We’ll break down how each SMG actually performs in real gameplay—not just on paper—looking at kill time, recoil, accuracy, magazine size, and overall consistency in close-quarters fights.

Each weapon is tested across realistic engagement ranges to see where it shines and where it falls apart. Some SMGs dominate point-blank fights but struggle once recoil and damage drop-off kick in, while others trade raw lethality for incredible accuracy and reliability. I also factor in how forgiving each gun is if you miss shots, which matters far more in real matches than raw DPS stats alone.

By the end of the video, you’ll know exactly which SMGs are worth grinding, which ones are situational, and which ones you should probably avoid entirely. Whether you want the fastest kill times in the game or a consistent laser-beam SMG that wins duels through accuracy, this tier list will help you choose the right weapon for your playstyle.
