The Striker 9 stands out as the top choice for sniper support due to its exceptional close-range performance. It's crucial to have a weapon that excels at moderate distances, and the recent buff — increasing its maximum damage range to 12.19 meters from 10.67 meters — provides a slight advantage over other SMGs in this aspect.

For those seeking a formidable secondary, the HRM-9 is the optimal choice, boasting a high fire rate, minimal recoil, excellent hip-firing, moderate damage output, and good handling.

The RAM-7 has long been a dominant force in the meta. In the previous season, it reigned supreme on the battlefield. However, with the recent seasonal update, this assault rifle received a significant damage nerf.

Despite its reduced maximum damage and range, it remains one of the top choices for combat on Rebirth Island. While it may be less effective in long-range engagements, the map's small size negates this drawback. Its versatility and ease of use make it a formidable option for any player.
