What it's good for
Low recoil keeps a long stream of fire on the Horde's front line. Pair it with Napalm Molotovs and traps at a chokepoint. It also mows down human camps.
Compared with other LMGs
It beats the MG45 and RPD on control and capacity. The .50 BFG competes for the same slot, so swap based on the job.
