SAF-200

Edit on GitHub

The FAMAE SAF-200, known in-game as the SAF-200, is a burst-fire SMG utilizing 9mm ammunition. It was added to the game in the v0.4.0 "Supplies received" update on June 17th, 2023. It has decent DPS, good damage per bullet, and a common ammo.

Background

The original SAF was a modified version of the SIG SG 540 assault rifle, which was produced under license in Chile in the 1980s. FAMAE shortened the gun and replaced the rotating bolt with a simpler blowback bolt to improve reliability, as well as added a bolt hold-open catch that locks the slide back after the final round is fired. The SAF-200 is a modernized variant of the original SAF that has a foldable and retractable stock, Picatinny rails for attachments, and a new handguard. The original SAF is in service with Brazil, Chile, and El Salvador police and military units, while the SAF-200 is being tested (although not officially adopted by the Chilean Army).

Strategies

Using

• The SAF-200 has the same range and comparable accuracy to the MP40, which means it can be used at a longer range than other SMGs and shotguns.
  • Use a 4x or higher scope to take advantage of this.
• Because of the common 9mm ammunition, you can be more liberal with your ammo consumption.
  • The SAF-200 has the highest damage per magazine of any SMG, so it can be used to destroy some cover, although not as well as an assault rifle will.
  • This is not much of an advantage late-game, as most opponents will have better weapons.
• As with other burst-fire weapons, you can hide behind cover and "peek" out to fire a burst or two at your opponent.
• This weapon is often considered a weaker version of the M16A4.

Countering

• The M16A4, also a burst-fire gun, is much more powerful than the SAF-200 and can easily counter it in all the same situations.
• Use adrenaline to strafe your opponent and make them miss their bursts.
• The SAF-200 has lower DPS than weapons such as other SMGs, assault rifles, and LMGs.
• A higher-DPS weapon such a Micro Uzi or a shotgun, can easily dispatch a SAF-200 user at close range.
• At medium range, the low DPS of the SAF-200 makes it ineffective against MP40 and assault rifles.
• At long-range, weapons such as DMRs and accurate assault rifles like the MCX Spear will be very effective against an opponent with a SAF-200.

Obtaining

The SAF-200 is a very common gun, and can be found from Regular Crates, as ground loot, and readily found from AEGIS and Flint Crates.

Trivia

• The SAF-200 was the first SMG to be added to Suroi.
• As a select fire gun, the SAF-200 can also fire semi-automatic or fully automatic.
• The SAF-200 has the second highest bullet damage per bullet of any 9mm weapon in Suroi, after the VSS.
  • Despite having lower damage per bullet than the VSS, it has slightly more damage per magazine than the VSS due to the larger magazine size.
