  • Extended Mag — increases the number of rounds in the magazine.
  • Laser Sight — shows where the weapon is pointing and makes hipfire easier.

  • Sniper Scope — makes distant targets easier to hit while aiming.
  • Iron Sight — removes the currently attached sight.

Best use

The weapon is labeled SMG in some inventories and called Uzi by many guides. Its fast follow-up shots make it practical for Blue Shark and the flying Albatross.

  • Use short bursts at range.
  • Buy magazine upgrades only for a weapon you plan to keep.
  • Carry enough ammunition before using a single-use boss lure.
