==Strategy Guide==
*The Combat SMG's heavy recoil can be countered by adjusting your aim controls downward while firing.
**Controller players can do this by pulling down on the aim stick.
**Keyboard and mouse players can do this by dragging their mouse downward.
* The Combat SMG deals high damage for an SMG and has very little damage fall-off. Coupled with its tight accuracy and high headshot damage, the Combat SMG is a powerhouse in both close and medium ranges.
* Due to its high accuracy and tight spread, the Combat SMG can function at long range in a pinch. Tap-firing or firing in short bursts will ensure the most is made of the Combat SMG at greater distances.
* At medium ranges, it's often best to fire the Combat SMG in short bursts to counteract its high vertical recoil.
* The Combat SMG is an excellent pairing for a high-damage shotgun. Fire your shotgun, then switch to the Combat SMG to finish off your opponent.
* Due to its high accuracy and damage, the Combat SMG can substitute in place of an assault rifle if needed.
