At least the RPK is shining in MW2 right now;and I guess I’m redownloading BF 1 again thanks loadout lol
They really only shine in single player games and games with 1 shot kills. MG42 was a beast in Red Orchestra.
I like the LMGs and miniguns you can deattach in some games to splatter the enemies easily.
still no Heavy Update tho 😭 (TF2)
They are either useless or slow monsters
