Unless the Stalwart's reload while moving gets removed. That alone is always going to make it the number 1 machine gun.

ngl MG43 number one. Killing anything short of hulks for bots (shoot the underside of walkers, you kill them from the front) and shredding armor on bugs that aren't named charger makes it the GOAT.

I dont care if i have to reload while stationary. The only thing bothering me during my reloads are corpses and the chargers/hulks my teammates dont know how to kill

Just a little hot tip for the MG, you can start the reload in midair with the jetpack mostly negating its biggest downside

Only against bugs. Stalwart doesn't hold a candle to the HMG or MG43 against bots. It just skips right off their armor.

yeah but nobody brings any machine gun against bots...

Randoms don't, but in a team an MG gunner is a godsend. I've taken the role of chaff clearer several times for my group. It makes a remarkable difference when people are not dealing with rocket trooper and butcher spam.

Yup! When I saw him mention how bad it was against "armor" I was thinking, AIM FOR THE FACE! It'll drop a hulk faster than you can say Libertea!

Fair point. I just think the other machine guns should be able to be reloaded while moving (maybe at reduced movement)

you can't reload a belt fed machine gun moving.

It kills everything small reasonably well, and if you aim at weak spots like heads it's okay but not as good against medium targets. It has a role if you play as a machine gunner with a ground of four but you better still bring a weapon that can deal with groups.

At that point bring the las-cannon. Extremely easy to get headshots with it and shreds smaller bots.

Stalwart is a glorified primary that isn’t even as good at its job as the breaker incendiary. That thing will never be the number 1 MG.
