— Item Description |
The XM8 LMG is a Fully Automatic Light Machine Gun.
Overview
The XM8 LMG is a unique drum-fed LMG that can be unlocked in the Advanced section of vendor weapons. It offers very mediocre battle characteristics, with a medium damage per shot, medium range properties, low accuracy and fire rate. These traits are not helped by its abnormal and random recoil pattern, further decreasing its effectiveness under sustained fire. Its only redeeming qualities are its 100-round drum magazine and a comparably short reload duration, which makes it somewhat useful for certain PvE missions. It is effective at medium range. Although this gun has a slightly better firepower than the common class LMGs in the game, its high recoil makes it no better than any LMGs of that class.
