CETME Ameli

CETME Ameli
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

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.

Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

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.

FN Herstal Mk48 Maximi

FN Herstal Mk48 Maximi
Machine Gun ★★★★ Usable

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.

Machine Gun ★★★ Core

....She's cute.... And she has a red beret?

Those are literally the only things that she has going for her. Low firepower makes her skill eh, not that it matters because she takes too long to startup her skill to begin with. For such a mediocre performance, she costs every bit as much as a better MG to field. As for practical matters, she has no merits on the battlefield whatsoever. Her exclusive doesn't do much to salvage her firepower, as it's still pretty low. You have far better picks than her, even with it.

PKP Pecheneg Light Machine Gun

PKP Pecheneg Light Machine Gun
Machine Gun ★★★★★ Good

High end MG with good damage potential. Chance to fire an extra shot with every shot, and that has extra damage and can crit (it's not an autocrit, but can crit, see notes). At lvl10, it's actually very steady. With her unique gear, DPS is still extremely high vs single targets. However now we have bullshit MGs like Kord and the like, and being able to murder multiple enemies per shot is the current hotness for mobclear.

MG42

Machine Gun ★★★ Core fodder

With MG34, this was Germany's primary machine gun for WW2. You may also note that they lost that war.

Machine Gun ★★ Enhancement fodder

Their best use is they give parts when disassembled. Otherwise, completely worthless wastes of ammo and resources.

BREN Light Machine Gun

BREN Light Machine Gun
Machine Gun ★★★ Core fodder

Remember the old Bren v Spandau debacle? The real answer is "They both suck here, get a real MG."

Her mod doesn't save her either, for more info look at her mod article.

Machine Gun ★★★ Trophy Raifu

Also known as the FN Minimi or M249SAW. Stats are mediocre and her skill frankly sucks. Only comes as a drop from 5-6 or 5-4E, so more of a trophy for completionists who collect rarer t-dolls than an actually good unit.

Heckler & Koch MG5

Heckler & Koch MG5
Machine Gun ★★★★★ Usable, but powercrept

Has the skill that makes M2HB so good (but with better numbers!), but with a little less attack in exchange for a non-garbage Accuracy score and having 16 max rounds (instead of 15) with a maxed gold ammo box, making her really good. Probably the best general purpose MG right now.

Machine Gun ★★★ If desperate, mod is interesting

She's basically LWMMG, except a 3 star and slightly more annoying to build up. She's like seriously, not even a performance benefit. Their stats are almost identical and they have the same number of shots so you... might as well just raise LWMMG.

Once you start considering mods, it does become a bit more interesting. Her mod gives her a good advantage towards the current (as of late 2023) meta set of enemies. So she can be worth raising for her mod.

PK Light Machine Gun

PK Light Machine Gun
Machine Gun ★★★★ Powercept but usable

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.

United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, Garbage
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

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.

Machine Gun ★★★★ Usable, gets better

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.

Rheinmetall MG3

Rheinmetall MG3
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

Funny to look at if she has her unique equip, but without her mod, she's worse than LWMMG with or without it.
