The famous Browning Automatic Rifle. BAR-chan, Auntie, etc. The initial reward for starting the game early. Until then, kinda sadly, not as good. However, she will suffice in a pinch compared to other MGs due to her damage buff being unconditional (and better than M60's by default...).

See her mod entry here for info about her mod. At this point, she needs it to be relevant. More info about her in that entry.

At day, she's worse than LWMMG. At night, she worse than LWMMG on her first magazine. On fights that want more than one mag, well, if you're that far into the game you likely have better options. Like Lewis Gun. Which you can get from clearing an event map. So....yeah.

In protracted fights that need exactly two magazines, at night, against armoured enemies, she can shine, if her skill is maxed out… we'll let you know if such a fight will ever happen.

Once a darling 4 star MG with good 1st mag performance, a good skill and decent performance. Her unique gear is pretty decent even. Unfortunately she got powercrept by later MGs like Kord. If you need an MG early on for some reason though, she's pretty ok.

Pretty much a 4 star LWMMG. Has Hunting Impulse, which is basically the 2nd best non-unique MG skill. (But there's absolutely insane unique MG skills, so that's not saying much anymore) Has slightly lower firepower than LWMMG, but has 1 more shot in the mag to make up for it.

If your name is deathalice, she is the best and most wonderful t-doll ever. Especially with her bike riding skin.

If you are similar to deathalice, she is the best and most wonderful t-doll ever. Especially with her bike riding skin.

Well, maybe not anymore, since even deathalice has seemingly forgotten her. Isn't that sad?

If you are worried about performance, she is godawful and somehow took one of the better MG skills (Hunting Impulse) and produced a shittier version with an 8s startup (missing the point of having HI) that only works well at night.

A Christmas tree! Will be her primary job at your base probably. Suffers from the curse of an MG that lacks a passive, a first burst-active like hunting impulse, or usefulness during the day. She has a unique that makes her better than base MG4, which is... not saying much. Unfortunately that unique is also no longer available.

Mod MG4 has some uses now so uhh....goodbye Ameli. Merry Christmas, you're a tree.

The PLA didn't want to have her, and neither should you.

She has a mod now that moves her from largely useless to merely use impaired.

She's annoying as fuck to farm without a 5* arti and HS2000 and has the lowest FP among MGs. The skill has lower FP boost in exchange for more Acc. On an MG with shit FP. Brilliant. Did I mention she's a second volley MG? Yeah. Into the bin you go.

There is nothing I can say about Bren Mod that would compare to the sadness of her existence. The most I can say is "Well, I guess she's got better DPS than Ameli and MG4", which is not a very high bar. Her stats go up a lot after the mod, but not enough to be worth investing your limited supply of memory fragments into. She doesn't give an armor buff, so she doesn't fit in with machine guns that give those, and she doesn't have the sheer firepower of the other first-belt machine guns, so she doesn't fit in with those either.

The even sadder part is her history. At one point, during the Reload Cancel Era, she was shitty because her reload timer did NOT cancel and she reloaded on the move, making her completely inferior to every other choice including MG4. When reload cancel was removed, there was a brief resurgence of interest because people thought "Aha, now a machine gun that can reload on the move is an interesting thing!"

...It turned out it was a bug and it was fixed, except they waited until it was an interesting feature to fix it...thanks, Mica.

On KR and CN, it had the curse of coming up after Lewis, who was basically better in every meaningful way. As of this writing, Isomer is coming up on EN so it isn't AFTER Lewis gun, but...

Her base stats aren't actually bad. Her problem is, as always for MGs, her skill. She has serviceable performance if a fight goes on long enough, which is about four or more magazines. The only problem with that is she won't beat Negev or Lewis in those situations. She's at least better than MG4, although her armour buff is lower.

Stop letting the Polish design T-dolls, thanks. She has a night skill as an MG and it isn't even a good one.

With gear, she effectively has a 45 round mag, although shots after her "normal" ammo capacity decrease her acc while upping her FP. This may be good or bad depending on what you're shooting, but she's perfect for low or 0 def enemies that you normally throw MGs at. This is pretty good, but not particularly great compared to the more modern MGs.

A quirk though is if she moves after beginning to go into her reserve ammo, her gun will be considered "empty" and she will need to reload.

She actually gets some fairly hefty stat increases in her mod, with Mod 2 hitting as much FP as M2HB. The issues that 2 stars normally face (low skill values compared to higher ones, etc.) are pretty solved thanks to being upgraded to a 4 star, and it also gives her extra base ammo which helps out a lot. Overall a cheap mod to get, and honestly you get a fair bit of value off even just Mod 1.

She's pretty much an all-rounder MG, and with the Mod 2 skill, technically you're not limited to just SGs, but uh... the shield values are so low otherwise that it only really helps armored things, though I guess some people might find a use for that anyway. MATH BIT: Her Special Equip actually isn't awful, but tbh you're better off with an EOTech in most cases.

Her original form can be found here.

Comparable to the Browning Potato Digger. There must be something about early model machine guns. Her skill gives her an extra long belt that activates three seconds in, and unlike Potato Digger, who sacrifices accuracy and gains firepower, she instead sacrifices reload time while gaining accuracy. While the extra reload time is a pain, she does buff other dolls while reloading instead of being useless. The accuracy boost is nice, but not a game-changer. It may help vs. enemies with a moderate amount of evasion though, given typical MG accuracy is kind of mediocre.

OK, so she can give ammo to other MGs in same echelon and decreases enemy stats while she's reloading. The actual interesting part is that any ally on her buff tiles gets a special buff that makes enemy hits deal 5 damage. Not "capped at 5 damage", every hit does 5 damage, period, whether it does 1 damage or 1000 damage. They take 5.

M26 MASS ignores damage of 5 or less (or 8 or less with flash ammo), effectively making her skill a "Give MASS invulnerability" skill.
