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

The CZ-3A1 is a weapon that only spawns in Golden Air Drops. It is very rare.

## Strategies

### Advantages

* The CZ-3A1 can be thought of as a suppressed Vector and should be used as such.
* However, it has a much larger range than the Vector (just short of 4x), so it can be used at a much larger distance.
* Also, since it *is* an SMG, having a Shotgun in your inventory is highly recommended.
* Strategies with the M4A1-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.

### Disadvantages

* Make sure you have a lot of 9mm ammo, as this Weapon uses it up quickly similar to the Vector. A Backpack (lv. 2 or better) is advised.
* Since this is a suppressed stealth weapon, try to shoot from an effective range while trying to not get noticed by other Players.

## Countering

* To kill a CZ-3A1 user, rush them with high DPS weapons such as Shotguns or another SMG. These will kill will 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 from 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 falloff 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 prolonged line of sight contact in order to deal damage. At close range, take advantage of this by briefly peeking 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 the player.

## 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 concepted by Forgi (a Discord Contributr).
* The CZ-3A1 is the first and currently only suppressed weapon to not have an S on its name.
* The CZ-3A1's gun world image sprite looks a lot like the M4A1-S's.
* 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.
