Best LMGs and Loadout
Following are the best LMGs and their loadout.
556 Icarus
556 Icarus light machine gun (LMG) variation of the M4 is among the easiest to use LMGs. Equipped with proper attachments, it has an extremely long range and is very accurate, while it is quick too. It also does not have much recoil, so you can aim and control your shots well.
Following is the best loadout for 556 Icarus:
Muzzle | Forge TAC Castle Compensator |
Barrel | FTAC Coldforge 16″ |
Underbarrel | FSS Sharkfin 90 |
Rear Grip | XTEN grip |
Optic | SZ Lonewolf Optic/ SZ Reflex |
Stock | Demo Fade Pro Stock/ Demo Precision Elite Factory |
Sakin MG38
The Sakin MG38 features a faster fire rate making up for its lower damage output. It has one of the fastest TTKs out there. Its two major downsides are accuracy and recoil control compared to other LMGs, but this can be fixed through attachments.
Following is the best loadout for Sakin MG38:
Muzzle | Polarfire-S |
Optic | SZ Lonewolf Optic |
Stock | Cheetah STM |
Rear Grip | Bruen G305 Grip Wrap |
Underbarrel | FSS Sharkfin 90 |
RAPP H
RAPP H weapon resembles the 556 Icarus but is worse, with the same damage and fire rate, but fewer accuracy, recoil control, and mobility. It fires at a high rate of speed and has very little recoil. Weapons with higher firing rates typically have higher recoil rates; however, this does not appear to be the case with the RAPP H.
Following is the best loadout for RAPP H:
Muzzle | Sakin Tread-40 Comp |
Optic | SZ Reflex |
Stock | FT Mobile Stock |
Underbarrel | DI-Grip 4.5 |
Rear Grip | LMK64 Grip |
