ZM MP 8(e)

I got this gun from an ace in expert skirmish №3.
The strangest weapon drop from ace.

Accuracy: C+
Range: 350
vs Pers: 48
vs Armor: 66
Shots: 7

It sucks a-s-s from a straw! With 7 shots, it doesn't kill and barely does any damage.

Wow that sucks

It's a rough equivalent to Brown M8 (2 tiers below max), but for your Shocktrooper.

The only application I can think of is when you want a defensive unit that can comfortably take damage and retaliate against multiple enemy Scouts that will not run into 200+accessory range (so 300-350). Maybe in a situation where there is like a Sniper that you know will chunk your unit a little before Scouts go in.
But that's on a purely theoretical level. I'm pretty sure such specific situation does not come up anywhere in post-game, 250-290 range MGs cover just about all practial defensive needs.

I'm still salty about the mortar only having one shot. Man that thing is a beast.

[Lanzagranadas]

It's essentially a Scout rifle for Shocktroopers, like the Ruhm but without being broken AF.

Interesting weapon, but I doubt I'll use it. In fact I doubt I'll find any use for the Expert Skirmishes weapons since it feels kinda pointless to receive such special weapons after already clearing what's supposedly the highest challenge in the game.

Yeah they should have bundled this with the Valkyria DLC and have their OP form a clear reward.
