Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The ASM1 has the highest damage of Advanced Warfare's launch SMGs, at 11 on Gamer Guides' sheet, and its accuracy improves the longer you fire, at some cost to fire rate. Gamer Guides also calls it the strongest SMG in the game. Our verdict is to give it extra range and recoil control, then take it into objective modes. This applies to Multiplayer; the build dates from September 2015 and names no patch.
Best ASM1 loadout
WhatCulture's Best Domination Class, published 21 September 2015. Game Loadouts lists both attachments for the gun and has a matching community build.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Variant | Competence | Variant named by WhatCulture; effect not listed |
| Attachment | Advanced Rifling | Extends effective reach |
| Attachment | Foregrip | Reduces recoil |
| Secondary | MP443 Grach | Backup for tough captures |
| Perk 1 | Low Profile | Helps avoid frequent UAV detection |
| Perk 2 | Blind Eye | Protects against enemy Scorestreaks such as Warbirds |
| Perk 3 | Toughness, Blast Suppressor | Supports gunfights |
| Wildcard | Perk 3 Greed | WhatCulture says only "Greed"; two Tier 3 perks require the Perk 3 version |
| Exo Ability | None | Left empty by WhatCulture |
| Exo Launcher | Stun Grenade | Helps when outnumbered near objectives |
Why this build works
WhatCulture describes the ASM1 as balanced and easy to control at close range, and uses both attachments to widen the distance at which it stays useful. Its low base range (6) is the reason to spend a point on Advanced Rifling. Its base accuracy is also just 6, though Gamer Guides notes that sustained fire improves it.
How to play it
Stay around capture points and use cover to keep fights close. Hold the trigger once you are on target, since the gun gains accuracy as it fires. Throw the single stun before pushing a contested flag. Long sightlines remain poor ground for it, even with the barrel attachment, and an assault rifle should win those fights.
Alternative setups
Strider [Elite] (Millenium, 4 January 2015): fire rate +2, damage +1, accuracy -3. It restores the rate the gun loses as it fires. A reader comment on that page disputes this entry without saying how, so check the numbers in game.
Speakeasy: Millenium's March 2015 report calls its absence from Michael Condrey's top five surprising, which suggests its reputation at the time. No stats are given.
Community build (Game Loadouts, undated, 1 vote): Advanced Rifling, Stock, Quickdraw Grip.
