The Primal SMG functions very similarly to the Submachine Gun, in that it fires a fast stream of inaccurate bullets. As such, it is ideal for close quarters engagements, and suffers at longer ranges.

==Strategy Guide==
*The Primal SMG is good when swapped after a Shotgun, more specifically a Pump Shotgun. This is because Shotguns have a cooldown period when switching between them, so if you are out of ammo, an SMG works in close quarters and does not trigger the cooldown.
==Weapon ID==
The Primal SMG is referred to as SMG Bone in the files.
