Light machine gun's

I might be wrong but i feel like there horribly weak unless its just the first one you get.

i cant seem to get many kills with it even when there laser beams as it seems the damage is often out preformed by someone else with a rifle or an SMG

for the M249 it is quite decent compared to a rifle (20 damage ones) at 858 rpm (Aug is 679 rpm)

my personal issue is it's particle effect when shooting, the amount of horz recoil it has and the shakness of it

I feel you, with the stats it seems like it should be a killing machine. Meanwhile SMG's will outmatch you at the ranges you should outmatch them.

The actual in game experience just breaks any semblance of "look at the stats bro its fine." considering how few people run it, and they probably have very good reasons not to run it.

I stopped using LMGs, the other weapons available to the engineer are clearly superior. With the bipod the LMGs should be devastating (as in reality) but here they suck.

Tips for LMG.

1. LMG is for holding enemy not rambo rushing.
2. Smoke is your best friend, keep firing at that smoke, higher chance that SMG and Rifle guy don't have patience and rushing, that's your chance to kill them
3. Find flank position that your are safe from enemies then prone to kill enemies that rushing.
4. Always make sure your head safe from SR when in a prone position.
5. Build 80 accuracy and invest to handle and control minimum 60. This will help you hip fire that are close to you, so your bullet will not miss them on close range.
6. Use flashlight to confuse and blind enemy.

i understand the role of an LMG thats not the issue.

the issue mostly is i can actually get the drop on someone they turn a corner. i can already be shooting at them and one two three hits and im dead. meanwhile its like 25 rounds out of an LMG (im sure im exagerating but it feels like that)

Rifles and LMGs are super weak right now. They do same or less damage than SMGs with roughly the same range before damage drop off.

+1 Buff rifles and LMG. They need to be better at medium ranges minimum.

[joppe .38 Special]

They need to be buffed.
Actually ALL guns need to be buffed
