The **CZ Scorpion Evo 3A1**, known in-game as the **CZ-3A1**, is a suppressed SMG that uses 9mm Ammunition. It was added in the v0.6.7 "*Community collage*" update on November 29, 2018.

## Update Note

"The CZ-3A1 submachine gun was concepted by Forgi. This weapon was the developer's choice winner in our recent Discord content competition. The CZ-3A1 is a 9mm carbine that can only be found in golden air drops. For a limited time, we've also TRIPLED the spawn rate of the CZ-3A1 in golden air drops."

## Rarity

In Normal mode, the CZ-3A1 is rare and only spawns in Golden Air Drops. But in Savannah Mode, it is more common, and you can find it in any Crates, though rarely.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros:

* High fire rate
* Common ammo
* Good DPS
* Suppressed, bullets are hard to see

### Cons:

* Low damage per bullet
* Low bullet speed

## Strategies

### Using

* Despite the popular opinion that the CZ is a direct upgrade to the Vector, the CZ falls short of the Vector in several stats, including bullet spread across the board reload time. It also has 1.92 less DPS than the Vector, although the CZ-3A1's bullets are suppressed, making them harder to see.
* The CZ can also be seen as a buffed MP5 with a faster fire rate and higher DPS.
* The CZ-3A1 has a good range, just about 4x. Its high DPS can shred people at short-to-midrange almost instantly.
* Since it is an SMG, it can be used as a replacement for a Shotgun.
* Strategies with the M4A1-S and the Groza-S work with the CZ-3A1, as they share the special bullet fade effect.
* This weapon is a perfect weapon for stealthily killing people, as the sound and the tracer brightness is significantly reduced.

### Countering

* To kill a CZ-3A1 user, rush them with high DPS weapons such as Shotguns (Saiga-12, MP220) or another SMG (Vector, MAC-10). These will kill them faster before they can deal enough damage to you.
* Avoid fighting out in the open in long-mid range encounters, for the CZ's suppression ability will make it difficult to dodge the bullets.
* If you have a good scope, you can attack the CZ user at a very long-range, where their bullets will deal less damage due to fall-off or disappear entirely.
* Hit-and-run strikes are also effective against the CZ. Sniper Rifles are recommended when using this technique like the SV-98.
* Just like any other SMG, the CZ-3A1 depends on the long line of sight contact to deal damage. At close range, take advantage of this by briefly peeking at the CZ-3A1 user with a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle.
* At longer ranges, some weapons such as the FAMAS are more effective in range than the CZ-3A1. Use this to your advantage by keeping your distance from your opponent.

## Trivia

* Despite the in-game gun shooting in full-auto, the sprite is based on the S1 civilian carbine variant, indicated by its longer-than-normal handguard.
* This is the third suppressed weapon added in the game, with the AWM-S and the M4A1-S as the previously suppressed weapons. It is also the second one to have faded bullets, (technically it just lacks tracers but whatever), meaning that the bullets are hard to see in the game.
* The CZ-3A1 has the longest range of any SMG in the game.
* The CZ-3A1 was conceived by Forgi (a Discord Contributr).
* The CZ-3A1 is the first and currently only suppressed weapon not to have an S on its name.
* The CZ-3A1's gun world image sprite looks a lot like the M4A1-S's.
* The CZ-3A1 has the second-longest range of any 9mm gun (besides VSS)
* This SMG is based on the Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod Scorpion EVO 3 A1, a lightweight, compact submachine gun chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum designed to be easily handled in close quarters. It was first made in the Czech Republic.
* The CZ-3A1 is currently in service in various special forces and police units in 2nd and 3rd World countries.
* It has a civilian variation, the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1, which does not have selective firing capabilities.
* While the CZ-3A1's 2.2 second reload is faster than all Assault Rifles in the game, it is simultaneously the slowest reload of every 9mm SMG.
