As Warzone transitions to the compact maps of Ashika Island and Vondel, the dynamics of gameplay are changing rapidly. Close-quarter combat gains even more emphasis, and mobility becomes the key to survival. In this changing landscape, the Submachine Guns (SMGs) prove to be the critical component of your loadout. From the speed at which they can be drawn to their sheer power in close combat, SMGs are your best bet in these tight maps. However, even though the map is different, the best SMGs from Al'Mazrah still hold their positions here - specifically, the ISO 45, Lachmann Sub, and the Vaznev-9k.

The ISO 45 is the undisputed king of the SMGs, with it being the top pick for Warzone players. Its exceptional damage, mobility, and faster time-to-kill (TTK) have made it the ideal choice for many. It still reigns supreme despite being nerfed, proving its capabilities in the game.
Following closely behind is the Lachmann Sub, a powerful SMG perfect for close-quarters combat. Its high fire rate and significant damage make it an excellent choice for swiftly taking down enemies, despite suffering from high recoil.

Another A-tier weapon, the VEL 46, excels in its ease of use. With a high fire rate, low recoil, and decent TTK, it's a great choice for those who favor user-friendliness.
The PDSW 528 is a top-tier choice for those valuing mobility. It has the highest mobility in the SMG category, although its iron sights are less appreciated by some players.

The MX9 is a powerful SMG with a fast TTK, but its limiting factor is its 32-round magazine, making it best suited for Solos.
The Minibak SMG is a solid choice for those looking for a high-damage, low recoil weapon with a large magazine. It's not the most potent SMG, but it performs well as a support weapon for snipers.
Despite being nerfed heavily, the Fennec 45 remains a popular choice thanks to its high fire rate and great mobility. However, managing its recoil and low ammo capacity can be challenging.

Rounding out the top 10, the BAS-P is a good medium-range support SMG with low recoil and good mobility. However, its TTK isn't the best up close.
While the terrain and map size may have changed with Ashika Island and Vondel, the best SMGs to use remain the same. The ISO 45, Lachmann Sub, and Vaznev-9k are all excellent choices, each with their unique strengths and playstyles. The key to success lies in choosing the one that suits your gameplay the most and mastering it. Adapt, improvise, and overcome - the battleground of Ashika Island and Vondel awaits you.
