LMGs

• Very slow reloads

Suppressing Fire

LMGs are high capacity, high damage weapons built for locking down lanes with sheer volume of fire.

LMGs fare poorly in most CQC situations, although the Mauler can be customized to have reasonably effective hipfire.

As a general rule, if you can find a good location with hard cover and a good line of sight, you can make life miserable for anyone attempting to cross your line of sight.

Unlike sniper rifles, which are precision weapons, LMGs don’t need quite as much finesse—you have the ammo capacity to simply hose an area down with waves of lead or energy bolts.

Taking ranged optical attachments is a good idea, to take full advantage of your ranged firepower. You may also want to pack equipment and a decent secondary weapon to guard your back, because if you get jumped in CQC by an SMG, you don’t want to be trying to bring your cumbersome LMG to bear.

LMG Notes

• Each of the three LMGs trades off rate of fire, accuracy, and damage. Experiment to find your preferred model.
• The Mauler has a tighter hip spread than the other weapons, and with its rate of fire, can be used reasonably effectively at short range to simply hose down a target.
• The R.A.W. and Titan are both Energy weapons, and benefit considerably from the ammo regeneration if you keep your distance and give your ammo time to replenish.

Mauler

Full auto heavy Ballistic weapon. An experimental gaussian delinker channels ultra-rapid fire into a tight hip spread.
