But, if you don’t know how to utilize its abilities, you will not get much out of it. So read some tips mentioned below to get the optimal results out of the Light Machine Gun:
Best at Close Range:
The gun is absolutely shattering at close range. It can destroy an enemy if fired at a close range. SO whenever you get the chance to pick up a Light Machine Gun, don’t let it go and then use it only for short-range combats to get optimal results. Also, the gun has a decent fire rate so you can build a lot of pressure on the enemy if they try to hide or come towards you. Just keep that fire button pressed and watch your enemies getting destroyed.

Fire in Bursts:
Unlike the minigun, you can use the LMG for medium to long range as well. You just need to be smart as it also doesn’t have very good bloom. So if you encounter an enemy at a medium range or at a long range, all you need to do is to fire in small and sharp bursts. This will decrease the recoil in the gun and the bullets will be much accurate than firing continuously. You just need to press the fire button with small durations of 1 second or less. Try it a few times and you will get the hang of it.

Use it to Decimate Forts:
Light Machine Gun is great for destroying enemy structures, and at a close range, you can do a great damage to enemy forts and completely shatter them. You can use it to easily kill enemies who are panic building just to save themselves from the shattering shots of your Light Machine Gun. You can easily shatter their quickly created structures and then kill them once they fail to build a solid base to defend themselves from your fire.

Don’t Reload in a Fight:
One of the drawbacks of a Light Machine Gun is that it takes a while in reloading. This can be a very dangerous situation for you especially if you are in the middle of a fight. Do not give your opponent a chance to take you out just because you run out of a magazine. Instead, what you should do is simply switch the weapon as soon as you run out of the bullets. This way you will not only eliminate the time of reloading, but you will be able to completely confuse your enemy as he would be expecting a reload from you but you will start firing again.
