The gunsmith system of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 allows players to tune their weapons in a variety of ways to tackle the various combat scenarios of Battle Royale matches.
While the weapons in the SMG category of Warzone 2 are mainly used for close-range combat, there are a few whose effective damage range extends to mid-range as well. These particular picks, despite being non-meta weaponry, can act as very effective sniper-support platforms in the hands of skilled players.
Warzone 2 pro streamer and content creator Metaphor has recommended players to try the MX9 SMG as a sniper support due to its higher damage range than others in its category.
Metaphor is quite the acclaimed content creator in the Warzone 2 community. He has his own YouTube channel where he regularly uploads videos of gameplay, loadout recommendations, expert tips, and a lot more.
In one such recent upload, Metaphor showcased a loadout for the MX9 SMG and recommended players to use it as a sniper-support platform.
The MX9 of Warzone 2 is the SMG version of the STB 556 assault rifle and belongs to the Bruen bullpup platform of the title's gunsmith system. It is primarily a close-range weapon. However, if a player equips it with its longest barrel and muzzle attachment, which increases bullet velocity, it transforms into an excellent sniper support weapon with great potential for mid-range combat.
The time-to-kill (TTK) value of the gun is also at the higher end among the other SMGs, and being able to extend that fast SMG TTK to mid-range allows this gun to act as a sniper-support platform.
According to Metaphor, the best sniper-support build for MX9 in Warzone 2 is as follows:
The Singuard MKV is an excellent muzzle attachment for the MX9 sniper-support loadout.
