I’m looking to upgrade my only missing weapon, which is an SMG. I have a schematic but I’m not sure which SMGs are the best to go for that don’t require a weapon voucher. Any suggestions?

Don’t forget about the Lightning Pistol from the VacuumTube set! It’s technically an SMG, but it really shines with the right 6th perk—specifically the one that chains lightning up to 6 times per kill. You might want to grab an Epic version and check its perks before fully upgrading to legendary.
In my opinion, the Silent Spectre, Hemlock, and Bobcat are among the top SMGs. The Hemlock has a super fast rate of fire and pairs well with explosion perks, making it fun for chaos agent builds. If you’re looking for something that shoots more accurately, I’d suggest these over the single-handed Uzi types like the Thrasher, which just don’t hit right.
Absolutely agree! The Hemlock is a powerhouse due to its large magazine and the ability to stack crit perks. You can find a purple version in the weekly shop for an upgrade, and the Bobcat is solid too with perks like Affliction. It excels against lobbers and is worth considering. The Spectre is good but might not be as stellar as the other two; its default crit perks aren’t quite as impactful for my taste.
But seriously, if you have access to good SMGs, why bother with the VacuumTube weapons? They don’t seem as versatile!
