📋 About This Mod
SubmachineGunAsSecondaryWeapon_AddOn
-
[]This version places Submachine Guns in the secondary weapon category (PISTOL) without removing them from primary weapons.
[
]All players need to have the mod for it to work in multiplayer.[]When using a sight attachment it does not stay aligned. This does not happen in the Replacement version.
[]If the weapons do not appear, go to "%localappdata%\ReadyOrNot\Saved\SaveGames\" and delete the "SBL" folder.
[]If it still doesn't work, try installing another mod that adds a weapon (for example Glock 17 Gen 3). I don't know why, but sometimes this version needs another mod that adds a weapon to work.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 415 endorsements and 26k downloads
- Freshly updated for the latest patch (March 2026)
- Opens up new build possibilities by letting you pair an SMG with a shotgun or sniper
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects SMGs – no other weapon types are changed
- May conflict with other loadout mods that alter weapon categories
- Could break if the game updates again before the mod is patched
For players who want to run an SMG as a backup instead of a pistol, freeing up your primary slot for a heavier hitter. If you're a min-maxer or just like experimenting with loadouts, this is a quick quality-of-life tweak. Skip if you're happy with the default weapon categories or want more extensive loadout overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use other loadout mods, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
- Test in the firing range to see how the new secondary SMG feels with your primary.
