Machine guns are good for only short to medium range, due to the massive amount of weapon sway when firing. However, their rate of fire and ammo capacity outclass any other weapon type and can quickly take down even the heaviest armored cultist. When they run out of ammo, it takes an extraordinary amount of time to reload another belt of ammo, so be ready to switch weapons if necessary. The best weapon to fight heavy weapon–wielding Peggies is a heavy weapon of your own.Heavy Weapons Mastery is an essential perk for the reload speed decrease alone. The Heavy Ammo Bag perk is also extremely desirable.
