Overview

Fennec SMG in COD Mobile

First let’s talk about the effectiveness of prime of the Fennec. The gun shreds at short range, and kills extremely fast. It’s time to kill is so great that the enemy doesn’t stand a chance to even react, if you connect your first bullet. It’s fire rate is the fastest in the game, even faster than the MSMC SMG.

The Akimbo perk has made the gun more viable, since you get 70 bullets with the extended mag, and you can build the gun around hip firing attachments, to improve your accuracy. Currently, it’s the most used gun alongside HVK-30, which is the best Assault Rifle in the game right now.

Using the Fennec for short range gunfights will win you the battle almost 10 out of 10 times. The mobility is excellent as well, since it is a Submachine gun, so your movement will be on point as well, while dodging the enemy’s bullets.

Fennec Stats – Damage, Fire Rate, Accuracy

Fire Rate:111
Accuracy:22
Mobility:88
Range:40
Control:14

These are the base stats of the Fennec SMG. Here you can see from the table above, how fast the fire rate of the gun is. A whooping 111 base fire rate means you’ll kill your enemy before them even firing a single, and maybe even before they open their scope.

The accuracy however isn’t that great, nor the controls, but you don’t need ADS bullet spread accuracy while using the Akimbo perk. And the recoil isn’t that much either while hip firing.
