Quick answer
Run-and-gun fights such as Pufferfish and correcting aim while moving. Magazine dumps can erase the profit from ordinary catches.
Where this weapon fits
The SMG fills the mobile automatic fire slot. Carry it when that job solves the encounter; do not let a higher-looking damage number replace movement, ammunition economy or reload safety.
- Test recoil and reload rhythm on ordinary catches.
- Keep a second tool that covers the opposite range.
- Bank progression cash before buying extra ammunition for experiments.
- In co-op, call firing lanes so physics and friendly chaos stay manageable.
