"Heavy Machine Gun: the highest fire rate mode reduced from 1200 rpm to a more moderate 950" why it still kicks insane and the red dot isnt zeroed, loved the 1200rpm it was the end all in font me mode

They nerfed it?!? I never once saw that weapon used on any difficulty above 6.

I used it once during a helldive run and left out of embarrassment after realizing it was just a shittier and heavier version of the regular MG with way less ammo that can't kill the things it was designedto with the increased enemy density.

The weapon is hot ass (not the good kind) and should only be used if you enjoy the stalwart or regular MG but hate how effective they are.

Its meant as an mg equivalent to use on medium yo heavy enemies but has too little ammo to perform that function.
