What is the best NC LMG?

[Ambi]

Hi guys, what LMG should I be using on the NC?

[Low Elo]

Usually there is no "best", only "better options" for the situation you're in. You're in luck, you're NC so you have a lot of these options. Probably the Anchor or the EM6 are the best allrounder LMG's in the game. In particular the Anchor.

Not discounting what was said above but.
The defalt. The Gauss Saw is less a LMG and more a full auto sniperrifle with a hundred round mag. It makes stuff dead and even when it doesn't it still a joy to pull the trigger on.

Because that's what matters most in this game, having fun. While you die.

The EM6 is easily the best bang fer yer buck, unless you are a more close-range than mid-range oriented player, In which case i recommend the EM1.

The Anchor is loved by high skill players. I'd start with the GD-22S after you aurax the default, it's cheap and has low recoil but no SPA.

Awesome,. thank you guys. Another question, what attachments should I use on the anchor + default mlg?

[Xilo The Odd]

sights are all personal preference. most common i see is a forward grip on most NC weapons to account for recoil.

For the Anchor, flash suppressor (optional), forward grip, SPA.
Default LMG, the Gauss SAW? HVA unless it doesn't drop 2 tiers. IIRC it doesn't have a flash suppressor, a compensator isn't terrible but so long as your have a decent amount of mouse space you shouldn't need it. IIRC the grip has some weird interaction (adds HRT) with that gun in particular which makes short bursts extra important, but it's long range oriented anyway so it's still worth using. Also I'm too lazy to find a source on that so even if I'm remembering right it might have been updated.

sorry what is the HVA?

High Velocity Ammunition. I'm pretty sure the SAW has it but I'm going from memory. It only drops 200 to 167 damage (one tier) though so I don't think it'd be worth running. SPA is Soft Point Ammo, Anchor has it.

This used to be the case, but all of these interactions have been fixed. Now (advanced) grips influence HR and HRT equally, so they always improve the recoil behaviour.

Gauss SAW. 200 damage and a 100 round clip = 20,000 damage per magazine. The recoil is a bear, but it's great for learning to control your gun and teaching you fire discipline. But even more: look at the stats, particularly and ADS accuracy:

It has PERFECT first-shot accuracy. With High Velocity Ammo it has the muzzle velocity of a sniper rifle and the same perfect accuracy per bullet once you learn to tap-fire the trigger. It's insane.

Think of this thing as a battle rifle than can fire full auto.

Also, you CAN use it up close. Just put a 1x red dot sight on it, or leave the iron sights in place. It's also great for choke point control. Seriously, the thing can vomit 200-HP death bullets into a doorway for DAYS with that 100-round mag.

Just by the power of Cthulhu, fall back behind cover before you reload.

EM6 is basically a "lite" version of the Gauss SAW. EM1 is garbage - more controllable, but the damage output is just too low.

Remember, you're NC. You do two things: fire high damage bullets at low rate of fire, and shoot your teammates in the back by accident all day long.

You forgot to put quotes around "by accident"
