MW3 : 3/16 Hotfix (Update 01)

On 3/16 I posted that there was a hotfix that buffed LMG's a little. The reality is that they increased the minimum damage they do... that's right... minimum.

Thanks to TmarTn, we have learned that ALL LMG's will kill someone in three shots or less no matter how far you are!! That's right, shooting up close or shooting from a galaxy far far away... you will kill your target in no more than three shots (that land, haha). The M60 will actually kill an opponent in two shots at close range versus every other LMG which would take three.

Talk about a buff. Allowing LMG's to kill an enemy so fast will make them very popular... but now we need to learn a little more about them. I personally never used a LMG unless I picked up from someone I just killed so let's talk a little about details.

Gun Capacity Rate of Fire Reload Time Recoil
L86 100 800rpm 3.76s Small
MG36 100 769rpm 3.73s Large
PKP 100 705rpm 8.06s Large
MK46 100 859rpm 8.67s Medium
M60 100 600rpm 9.30s Super Sized


From the stats we learn that the L86 is the best balanced gun. It has the best recoil, 2nd fastest reload, and 2nd fastest rate of fire.

Other great tips from TmarTn:

Perks

- Extreme Conditioning : You run very slow with the LMG. Having extreme conditioning will help you get around easier.
- Marksman : If you plan on using the iron sites it is easier to see the enemy when aiming.
- Blind Eye Pro : You can take down air craft super quick with Blind Eye Pro.

Attachments

- Grip > Kick : Grip does better than Kick with LMG's. Also I guess some people try to use both... don't there is no additional benefit.
- Silencer : Most of the times silencers lower the damage of shots, but not in the case of LMG's. If you like running silencer... rock on, because it isn't going to take away from your shots.

All of this being said if you are a fan of LMG's... you have just been upgraded to a groupie. If you haven't tried a LMG... check it out... you may like it.

If anything else pops up, I will make sure to share. :)

Play on playas...
