CZ-3A1

The CZ Scorpion Evo 3A1, or known in-game as the CZ-3A1, is a suppressed SMG added in the v0.6.7 "" update on November 29, 2018. It is chambered in 9mm Ammunition and can only be found in Golden Airdrops. Like the M4A1-S and AWM-S, it is a suppressed weapon, being the third one, meaning its bullets fade over time.

Update Note
"The CZ-3A1 submachine gun was concepted by Forgi. This weapon was the developer's choice winner in our recent Discord content competition. The CZ-3A1 is a 9mm carbine that can only be found in golden air drops. For a limited time, we've also TRIPLED the spawn rate of the CZ-3A1 in golden air drops."

Advantages

 * The CZ-3A1 can be thought of as a suppressed Vector, and should be used as such.
 * Also, since it is an SMG, having a Shotgun in your inventory is recommended.
 * However, it has a much larger range (just short of 3x), so it can be used at a much larger distance.
 * Strategies with the M4A1-S work with the CZ-3A1, as they share the special bullet fade effect. Think that the CZ-3A1 is a Vector, but with the special bullet fade effect of the M4A1-S.

Disadvantages

 * Just like other SMGs, DO NOT shoot from pointblank unless it is absolutely necessary.
 * Make sure you have a lot of 9mm ammo, as this gun uses it up quickly similar to the Vector. A Backpack  (lv. 1 or better) is advised.
 * Since this is a suppressed stealth weapon, try to shoot from an effective range while trying to not get noticed by other players.

Against

 * Just like any other SMG, the CZ-3A1 depends on prolonged line of sight contact in order to deal damage. At close range, take advantage of this by briefly peeking the CZ-3A1 user with a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle.
 * At longer ranges, some weapons such as the FAMAS are more effective in range than the CZ-3A1. Use this to your advantage by keeping your distance from the user.

Countering

 * The CZ-3A1 is much like the M4A1-S and MP5, but with more damage and DPS. The CZ-3A1 also has suppressed bullet, meaning that it's hard to dodge. The CZ has the longest range of all SMGs, so keeping your range won't help. To kill a CZ-3A1 user, rush it with high DPS weapons such as the MP220 and Saiga-12 will kill them faster before they can deal enough damage to you, though it has a DPS of 195.45. If you fight a CZ user with an AR or LMG, you'll almost always die before they do since the CZ has 20.45 higher DPS than even the LMG with the highest DPS, the M249, so try to use cover to your advantage, as this weapon barely scratches rocks. When using a shotgun, try switching to a smaller scope (1x, 2x), like when you counter an M4A1-S.
 * Alternatively, you could do hit and run strikes with an SV-98 or similar sniper rifle

Trivia

 * This SMG is based off of the Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod Scorpion EVO 3 A1, a lightweight, compact submachine gun designed to be easily maneuvered in confined spaces.
 * The sprite itself is based on the S1 civilian carbine variant, indicated by its longer-than-normal handguard.
 * This is the third suppressed weapon added in the game, with the AWM-S and the M4A1-S as the previous suppressed weapons.
 * The CZ-3A1 has the longest range of any SMG in the game.
 * The CZ-3A1 was concepted by Forgi (a Discord Contributer).
 * The CZ-3A1 is the first supressed weapon to not have a S on it's name
