SMG

"Ideal for controlling larger groups of undead but lacks the firepower against tougher opponents. Upgradeable to an extremely fast rate of fire." -Dead Nation description

Characteristics
The SMG is the perfect crowd control weapon for most of the game with its high rate of fire and (when upgraded) decent power. It's recommended to upgrade the Max Inventory and Power first, then anything else after, as you will find you run out of ammo a bit too quickly. Just hope to find some Blue Crates (ammo and item resupply) if this is your only secondary weapon.

Despite the ingame description, when upgraded this weapon excels in dealing devastating amounts of damage against even the strongest opponents. So as well as being a crowd control weapon, it is also an effective "Boss Killer".
