As a hardcore PUBG Mobile player since 2020, I've learned that victory often comes down to split-second decisions in close combat. With over 5,000 chicken dinners under my belt, I can confidently say SMGs are THE secret weapon for surviving those chaotic early-game drops and final circle showdowns. Their insane fire rates make you unstoppable in buildings and urban zones – forget sniping, today I'm breaking down my personal tier list of game-changing SMGs!

💥 1. The Vikendi Beast: MP5K

When I land on Vikendi's frozen terrain, this compact monster is my instant grab. Its 900 RPM rate shreds enemies before they react! Pro tip: Pair with a Quickdraw mag – that 0.1s faster ADS has saved me countless times in Blizzard Zone stairway fights. Limited map availability hurts, but when available? Pure carnage.

  • Best for: Hot drops

  • Ideal attachments: Red dot + Vertical grip

  • My personal wipe record: 3 squads in Peshkova

🌪️ 2. Bullet Hose: Bizon

That moment when you realize you've got 53 rounds WITHOUT extended mag? Chef's kiss! 🤌 The Bizon's drum mag lets me suppress entire teams pushing compounds. Just last week in Livik, I held off a duo rushing containers while reloading my teammate's M4. Downside? Erangel-only spawn kills versatility.

  • People Also Ask: "Can Bizon use 6x scope?" Nope! Max 3x

  • Secret feature: Lowest recoil of all SMGs

🚀 3. New Meta King: P90

Since its 2024 buff, this beast dominates my loadout. The 5.7mm ammo penetrates level 2 vests like butter! I run it with laser sight for hip-fire madness in Sanhok's bootcamp. Saw a 40% win rate increase after mastering its unique reload rhythm. Trust me, that kill feed will light up with your name.

  • Stat bomb: 0.85s reload speed (fastest in class!)

  • Synergy combo: Smoke grenade + P90 rush

🔫 4. Classic Reborn: Thompson

Remember when Tommy Gun couldn't mount scopes? Dark ages! 😂 Now with holo sight compatibility, it's my go-to for Miramar hacienda clears. The .45 ACP rounds hit like a truck – I've won 1v4s just holding stairwell angles. Pro move: Crouch-fire for laser-beam accuracy.

Attachment Impact
Compensator -20% vertical recoil
Extended Quickdraw Game-changing reload
Halfgrip Vertical + horizontal control

⚡ 5. Speed Demon: UZI

When I need to delete someone INSTANTLY, nothing beats the UZI's 1250 RPM. That's 20 bullets in 1 second! Downside? You'll reload more than shoot. My strat: Carry 200+ 9mm ammo and treat it like a shotgun. Perfect for Karakin's underground tunnels where range doesn't matter.

⚠️ Warning: Useless beyond 50m

🔥 Fun fact: Faster TTK than Groza in 5m fights!

💣 6. OG Legend: Vector

My ride-or-die since 2022! The Vector's .45 damage profile melts enemies faster than campfire marshmallows. Yes, the 19-round base mag sucks – but slap on extended mag and it's squad-wipe material. I always grab this in Nusa for those chaotic 8x8 battles. People Also Ask: "Vector vs UMP45?" Close-range? Vector wins every time!

  • Key attachment: Tactical stock (stability++)

  • Soulmate combo: Vector primary + Kar98 secondary

🎯 7. Versatile Beast: UMP45

When I need one gun for ALL situations, UMP45 delivers. It handles 3x scopes surprisingly well for mid-range sprays! After the .45 ACP conversion, its damage profile competes with ARs. Last circle tip: Single-tap fire at 50m+ to conserve ammo. My most consistent chicken dinner machine!

🏆 Final tier list:

  1. P90 (new meta)

  2. Vector (OG king)

  3. UMP45 (versatile)

  4. Bizon (ammo god)

  5. Thompson (hipfire beast)

  6. MP5K (situational)

  7. UZI (early game specialist)
