I just started using the HMG and Ballistic Shield+Defender SMG. It's kind of frustrating with no reticle in 3rd person, and in ADS, unless you're point blank, the bullet tends to land below the red dot instead of on the dot. And that's not even at far range because I was testing that out on a wall. Also, I decided to put a dot on my screen for the 3rd person hip firing 😂.

I just started playing today and I can see the issues and advantages of it. It's not something you want to waste on single chaff enemies (tho if you are up against a horde it works well), and it won't take down the heaviest armor. It's good against everything in between, when you need burst damage, but anti-tank is overkill. I've already seen my whole squad get run down by Berserkers...unless I have my HMG in place to support them. It excels against trash mobs with medium armor. Enough to make relying on your primaries difficult, but not so much you'd want to use a rail gun on them.

There IS a way to kill Bile Titans with only this gun but it's extremely risky and I don't recommend it unless you really need that thing dead. Ramp it up to 900 (max fire rate got nerfed) and then unload into its rear underside (you'll get a clearer shot by being directly under it). The gun will eventually kill the thing if you hit enough rounds (can be done within one mag if it doesn't move around much but don't bet on it since stun grenades no longer stun bile titans). Last bit, after the titan dies, it will DROP DOWN. Make sure to dive out of the way and pray you get out from under it fast enough or its sheer bulk will kill you. As said, not recommended but thought I'd put it out there.

I like MG's in general and glad we got HMG. I agree that the lower firerate, stun grenades and engineer perk on armor is the way to go if you put the HGM in your load out. The supply pack is good with this weapon but not a must have found plenty of ammo from POI and supply. Like other comments, I think a breaker or scorcher is a better choice of primary if you're bringing the supply pack. Otherwise the sickle is a fine choice. My experience in being successful with HMG is switching weapons to the appropriate enemy type. Don't waste the ammo on the small guys, the weapon is meant to deal with medium armor and some heavy armor. My loadout with this has been, breaker/scorcher, stun grenades, engineering perk armor, supply backpack, eagle air strike and last spot in stratagem can be em's mortor/orbital or sheild generator. I usually run the HMG against bots.

It only reloads half the amount of the MG, so why would it not have a reason to have a more nimble reload? As it stands, you can easily spend about as much time reloading the HMG as you can firing it, and the reloading makes doing so a very dangerous endeavor in a hot firefight.

The HMG is controllable, so long as you aren't expecting it to be a run-and-gun kind of weapon. I do recommend that if you plan on using the HMG, bring an armor with the Fortified or Engineer perks (both of which provide a 50% recoil reduction while crouched or prone, which is what you should be doing when you're firing this gun). You should also set it to 450RPM as your default rate of fire, as it helps with both the ammo expenditure and the recoil. At 450RPM, you can easily fire single shots by tap-firing. Only bump up the fire rate when you need it in close-engagements. 1200RPM is basically only really useful for dumpstering Chargers by suckering them into charging at you only to mag dump into their backside once they miss the charge. Final point though is that the sight is currently still bugged - the actual stream of fire is lower than the red dot in the sight, so you have to aim over where you intend to actually hit (experience is the red dot is about a dot's width above the actual point where the bullets will hit).

I’m cool with a gun that can spray at hulks and down them. Yeah ur hitting head shots but not having to completely stop and line it up is nice when you have 20 other things trying to kill you.

Should hold 4 to 7 mags due to its ammo consumption. You'll barely manage ammo in single player, and in multiplayer, where you can only grab one resupply for your supply backpack usually.... no.

The HMG is a very weak weapon. It has major ammo issues, spending a second strategem on the supply pack is near mandatory. It also has major issues with very poor sights. It has no targeting reticule in 3rd person and when you aim down the sights, the muzzle flash makes it had to see and keep rounds on target. This is compounded by how inaccurate it is and how much recoil it has. Even with that armor, it's very hard to manage. (fun fact, the recoil assistance on that armor always works, whether you are standing or now) The basic, free machine gun is a good weapon and does most of what this does with dramatically fewer drawbacks. The only thing the basic machine gun can't do that this does is penetrate the face plate on hulks and the vents on tanks cannons. The base machine guns eats those bile spewers, hive guard and medium bots up too. I strongly reccomend to any new players to avoid this unless it gets a balance pass. At least until you get a lot more of the key strategems.

50cal pretending to be an mg42. To bad cant even use the bipods. You can make it work if you try hard enough but why? Almost anything does the same job or better Anything past 25 meters good luck and people saying you can take out a hulk ya so what not something im risking trying to hit that small hit box with flame thrower or rocket aimed at me AMR sure HMG no. And scythe, you can take out all devastators quicker with headshots from range and pop the rocket pods from cover without over exposing yourself. You want consistency and pop striders from front just bring scorcher kill em all 100m out. Want to kill a hulk from the front throw 4 imacts at the legs it will blow off both and down it goes can even use that same supply pack to get those nades back and ive even seen grenade launcher used. Just so many better options.

A weapon with 5 cons and 2 low value pros is just sad people trying to say otherwise are just coping with the fact that the heavy machine gun is just bad what it does is done better by 4 other weapons.

1. I'm 1:15 in, and you haven't gotten to the point yet. Still in FM Voice Intro Mode. Have a dislike. 2. Weird editing.... how many times is the video going to show you using the Sickle, or the EAT while telling us about the HMG? Makes no sense.

Heavy machine gun is absolutely useless with nothing but negatives and not a single positive and there's absolutely no way you can come up with a single positive for that thing you cannot convince me otherwise it needs bumps all across the board it doesn't even do as much damage as the other light machine guns which is insane while having flashes on the reload half as much magazine and 5 times the amount of recoil

It’s ok that you suck with it bro , doesn’t mean what you’re saying is 100% a fact , it has its flaws but i could name many situations that gun has saved my life

Use it like a battle rifle, prioritize mediums with it, have your primary clear enemies away to buy you a reload. It will do work.

What I would do to it is reduce the recoil a bit and make it heavy armor pen

Yawn. Stop using the laser guard dog. Everyone and their grandmother uses it. Overpowered as hell. So is the shield backpack. So is the quasar. So is the EATs. So is the sickle.

Definitely do not pair a mortar with a gun that requires you to play up close
