The Static-HV is a great Warzone SMG that performs particularly well at medium range, especially when used with a meta loadout built to dominate lobbies in both battle royale and Resurgence.

Added in Season 5, the Static-HV is Call of Duty’s rendition of the Kel-Tec P50. Much like its real-world counterpart, this SMG features a fast fire rate and a large magazine. It also offers excellent mobility stats and fast handling, making it one of the most well-rounded submachine guns in the game.

One drawback to the Static-HV is that its TTK is a little slower than competitors like the Superi 46 and FJX Horus. However, its impressive versatility and low recoil make it a powerful sniper support weapon and a generally competitive SMG.

In many ways, the Static-HV plays similarly to the FSS Hurricane, albeit with a far superior TTK and damage profile. Those who enjoyed using the now-forgotten MW2 SMG back in the day will feel right at home with its successor.

Best Static-HV Warzone loadout

Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
Barrel: Garrote-8 Long Barrel
Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
Stock: Spry 24 Light Stock
Underbarrel: JAK Slash

It’s best to build the Static-HV to be as versatile as possible, and the Garrote-8 Long Barrel does just that, boosting the SMG’s effective range and bullet velocity by 25%.

However, a big downside of this otherwise perfect barrel is that it greatly reduces mobility. To fix this problem, equip the Spry 37 Light Stock, which keeps the Static-HV feeling snappy and responsive, albeit at the cost of added recoil. Similarly, the JAK Slash underbarrel improves Sprint Speed, negating the biggest con of our chosen barrel.

Thankfully, this increased gun kick is hardly noticeable, as the Static-HV has such low recoil. This becomes even more true when using the Quartermaster Suppressor, which provides a 10% improvement to vertical recoil and 23% to horizontal recoil.

A big flaw of the Static-HV is its clumsy iron sights, which can be tricky to use at the best of times. Therefore, a meta optic like the JAK Glassless Optic is extremely useful, as it makes spotting and tracking enemies much easier.

Double Time is a must-have perk, as it lets you quickly traverse Warzone’s maps. Equally, Sleight of Hand improves reload speed, reducing downtime between gunfights and making it less likely you’ll get caught reloading.

However, Warzone isn’t just about getting kills; resource management is just as important. Tempered helps a lot in this regard, reducing the amount of armor plates needed for a full heal from 3 to 2. This not only helps save plates for when they are needed most but also speeds up the healing process, letting you get back into the fight faster.

High Alert is a very popular option in the community, and for good reason. Getting extra information on enemy whereabouts whenever they aim at you isn’t just great for awareness, but it also reduces the chances of being downed without getting a chance to react.

A Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade are the best equipment you can use. A Throwing Knife lets you quickly finish off downed targets, while a Smoke Grenade helps create cover in a pinch, which is especially useful in late-game scenarios where you’ll often need to cross exposed, open areas.

How to unlock the Static-HV

The Static-HV can be unlocked by completing Sector 6 of the Season 5 Battle Pass. Alternatively, extracting the new SMG in Zombies will also unlock it, which is a great method if you have a friend willing to drop it for you.

Best Static-HV alternative in Warzone

The AMR9 has a lot in common with the Static-HV, with both having slightly slower TTKs but great accuracy and low recoil to make up for it. Arguably, the Static-HV is better due to its fast handling, but the AMR9 is still an underrated weapon that serves a clear role.
