The LC10 is a "Good" tier SMG in Warzone that trades ADS speed for standout bullet velocity. Here's how to build it for close-to-mid range aggression.

LC10 Core Stats
| Stat | Value | |---|---| | Fire Rate | 800 RPM | | ADS Speed | 250ms | | Bullet Velocity | 600m/s | | Magazine Size | 34 rounds | | Vertical Recoil | 33.36 | | TTK (Close) | 450ms | | TTK (Long) | 675ms |
The LC10's 600m/s bullet velocity is its headline stat — well above what most SMGs offer. That means your shots connect faster at distance, which is critical when you're stretching fights into the mid-range. The tradeoff is a 250ms ADS time, which is on the slower end for the SMG class and can cost you in pure snap-aim duels.
Damage Profile Breakdown
The LC10 operates across three damage ranges:
- 0–21.6m: 29 head / 22 body / 22 limbs — this is your primary engagement zone. At 800 RPM with 22 damage to the chest, the 450ms close-range TTK is competitive but not elite.
- 21.6–38.1m: 24 head / 18 body / 18 limbs — damage falls off noticeably, pushing TTK out to 675ms. Still workable with accurate tracking.
- 38.1m+: 20 head / 15 body / 15 limbs — you're firmly in chip-damage territory here. Avoid committing to full fights at this range.
The takeaway: the LC10 wants engagements inside 22 meters. It can reach further than most SMGs thanks to that bullet velocity, but damage drop-off punishes you if you rely on it.
Best LC10 Build
This build focuses on tightening recoil control and extending magazine capacity while clawing back some of the LC10's sluggish handling.
| Slot | Attachment | |---|---| | Barrel | Long Barrel | | Underbarrel | Ranger Foregrip | | Magazine | Extended Mag II | | Rear Grip | Ergonomic Grip | | Stock | Balanced Stock |
Why These Attachments
- Long Barrel — Pushes the LC10's already-strong bullet velocity further and extends the first damage range. This leans into the weapon's key strength.
- Ranger Foregrip — Addresses the 33.36 vertical recoil value. The LC10 doesn't kick hard by default, but taming it further makes mid-range tracking more consistent.
- Extended Mag II — Bumps magazine capacity beyond the base 34 rounds, giving you enough ammo to down multiple targets or finish a fight without reloading.
- Ergonomic Grip — Directly targets the LC10's main weakness. At 250ms base ADS, any improvement to handling speed matters for an aggressive playstyle.
- Balanced Stock — Provides a blend of movement and stability, keeping you mobile during gunfights without sacrificing control.
How to Play the LC10
The LC10 fits an aggressive, push-oriented style, but it's not a pure run-and-gun SMG. The 250ms ADS means you need to pre-aim more than you would with faster-handling options like the C9 (currently ranked "Very Good"). Instead, think of it as a mid-range SMG — use the bullet velocity to catch players who expect SMG damage to fall off, and close distance before committing to full fights.
- Pre-aim corners to offset the slower ADS
- Engage inside 22m whenever possible to stay in the first damage range
- Use the bullet velocity to challenge at distances where other SMGs would lose shots to travel time
How Does It Compare?
The LC10 sits in the "Good" tier alongside the AMR9 and BAS-P. If you're looking for a direct comparison, the AMR9 is worth evaluating — you can compare it with the LC10 to see where the stat differences land.
Above the LC10 in the rankings, the C9 and Carbon 57 both hold "Very Good" tier status. If you're chasing pure meta efficiency, those are the SMGs to look at. Check the full meta tier list for current rankings across all weapon classes.

Bottom Line
The LC10 is a solid SMG that rewards players who value bullet velocity and mid-range consistency over raw handling speed. The best build above patches its biggest weakness (ADS speed) while amplifying its strengths (velocity, recoil control, magazine depth). It's not the fastest SMG to snap onto target, but once you're aimed in, shots land where you expect them to.
