The weapon boasts decent versatility in use, being commonplace for both PVE situations like Oil Rig and other monuments and limited range PVP. While not boasting any range to speak of, the custom SMG is a favorite due to its easy acquisition and cost to craft. It’s best suited for close combat situations.
The custom SMG boasts a slightly larger magazine size over the comparable Thompson, having roughly 20% more ammo per clip.
However, the rate of fire is considerably higher, as is the recoil associated with full spraying. The custom shines over the shorter distance fights, able to pump more bullets into closer targets quickly.

Players may research them directly or invest 1350 Scrap into a tier 2 workbench for acquisition via the tech tree.
