Description: The most commonly used combo in the game, two SMGs are generally quite powerful, regardless of the mech. The only true drawbacks are their range. A mech with a rifle may cause enough damage to take an SMG mech down before the latter mech can damage the former. Mechs with swords can also cause problems, since most players forget they can't hit point blank with the SMGs (a sword can). | Description: The most commonly used combo in the game, two SMGs are generally quite powerful, regardless of the mech.

Mechs with swords can also cause problems, since most players forget they can't hit point blank with the SMGs (a sword can). Mechs that use two beam spitters are often called "Spitter Noobs".
