Heavy machine gun is pretty good against hulk

[Complex.cN]

wear an armor reduce 30% recoil, switch to highest fire rate, hold breath, fire at face plate, hulk gone in 1-2 seconds depend on your accuracy. I find it's more consistent than sniper and AC.

Also I find HMG should always be used at highest fire rate in short burst. It's not a suppression weapon like the other two MG.

Can it take out those annoying turret towers though? What about tanks?

[PVT.Blueberry]

you have to gimp yourself to make it useful essentially, and even then its still not amazing. Autocanon outclasses it while all the other LMGs are better for their purpose. strong pass

not from the front similar to other none AT weapon except shredder tank. HMG can pen its turret directly. If you shoot at weak spot then you can take them out in 1-2 burst.

I find that the lower rpm makes it more controllable to aim for the head, but i usually get mixed results. Either way its actually quite powerful, and i find that even hip firing it is very strong as long as you aim downwards a little

I mean to be clear, I have not tried the tactic but I feel like it's more preferable to use the AMR or AC because while the AC is inconsistent and heavy with recoil, it's still really reliable for the rest of bot missions from doming scouts to taking out fabricators via richochet on the vent flaps while the AMR manages to consistently 2-tap hulks on the head while still acting as a lesser AC not needing a backpack, neither requiring you to trade what armor you want for the strategy as others have mentioned.

I would take the slowest RPM being the only option if it meant getting more ammo per mag, like 150. I like using it, but I hate having so little ammo per mag and so little overall. I don't want to have to bring a supply pack just to hoard it for myself using the HMG.

I hear the AMR is really good but I can't see for poop out of the scope

Maybe the scope ranges will help you? I think I remember the highest scope range while holding r is 250m which is pretty cracked.

Quasar and Recoiless at least can take around 2 shot not to the weak spot, to disable them.

As for HMG vs Hulks... Yeah it can kill them, but so can AMR, Recoiless, Laser Cannon, EAT's, Quasar... I wonder if Senator can pen their visor plate?

Overall it can, but there are better weapons. Laser Cannon is a winner for me, can disable two or three Hulks with one heat mag.

You know what's better? the AMR, Railgun, Autocannon, Quasar Cannon and the Recoilless Rifle.

AMR can 2 shot to the faceplate
Railgun can 1 shot to faceplate
Autocannon is the Autocannon
QC has unlimited ammo and can 2 shot a Hulk (long ass CD though)
RR is just the QC but limited by ammo.

All of these exist and you can wear the armour that gives 50% reduction to explosives with them.

I don't think I've seen anyone recommend the laser cannon before

I doubt the senator can, AC, AMR, laser cannon and HMG have medium+ penitration. Which is what you need to get through hulk face plates and scout strider front plate. If it bounces off the plate of a strider, it will bounce off the faceplate of a hulk

Laser cannon is great, easily the best weapon for taking out gunships (you can kill three easy before you need to cool down). It is incredibly accurate which makes face plating a hulk easy. And it will shred anything you can shoot the vents of VERY fast. You can head hunt devistators quite well (or body shot them if you have a poor angle), and due to its heat nature its not a waste on fodder either.

It's bloody lovely. And easy to spot if you're heating the target as a splash goes away and they cook quite quickly.

It's not, Hulk is immune to bullets, it's been showcased in all the Marvel movies.

IMO autocannon is not good vs. hulks.

It's much better than weapons that don't work at all.

But it just doesn't seem to have enough precision to reliably deliver the required face shots.
