A recent hidden update in Call of Duty: Warzone has significantly enhanced the performance of certain submachine guns (SMGs), allowing them to outperform some of the game's most popular weapons.

The Superi 46, an SMG from Modern Warfare 3, has emerged as a top-tier choice following an unannounced buff that improved its slide-to-fire speed. This enhancement enables players to fire more quickly after sliding, a crucial advantage in close-quarters combat. Content creator Zyro highlighted this change, noting that the Superi 46 is now more competitive than ever.

In terms of performance, the Superi 46 boasts a time-to-kill (TTK) of approximately 616 milliseconds, placing it ahead of many other SMGs and even some assault rifles in close-range scenarios. Its high mobility, low recoil, and effective damage range make it particularly effective on smaller maps like Rebirth Island and Area 99.

This unexpected improvement has revitalized interest in SMGs from previous Call of Duty titles, such as Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3, which had been overshadowed by newer weapons. The update also included general improvements to weapon handling, such as faster reloads and reduced penalties for firing after jumping, further enhancing the viability of these older SMGs.

For players seeking a competitive edge in close-range engagements, revisiting the Superi 46 and other recently buffed SMGs could provide a significant advantage in the current Warzone meta.
