Are you an SMG (submachine gun) user in Battlefield V? Find them too weak compared to the other guns in the game? If so, you’ll be happy to hear that a Battlefield 5 SMG buff is indeed coming according to DICE!

This was confirmed by Core Gameplay Designer Florian Le Bihan over on Twitter where he also shared that they fixed an issue where some weapons were inaccurate for too long when going from sprinting to firing.

SMGs will be getting buffs in this update, those are aimed at improving the mid-range combat ability of the weapons. Reductions in recoil and increases to accuracy will allow the SMG user to maintain damage on target and increase their effectiveness over all.

Last one for now, which will also help SMGs 🙂

Fixed an issue where some weapons were inaccurate for too long when going from sprinting to firing when aiming down the sights (ADS). This led to unexpectedly high recoil when firing after sprinting.
