What is an LMG supposed to be in 2042?
An interesting quote from the recent interview was the part about how Avancys in is pre 2.1.1 state was more of an Assault rifle with a large mag and less of an LMG. Fair is fair, the gun was over t...

Ok hands up, my expertise is with the NTW-50 but i will switch to LMG play sometimes.
Your knowledge will be far better than mine.
However if the prone LMG player is already in full auto I wouldn't think any gun class can compete apart from a sniper but I defer to your expertise over my lack of expertise with LMGs.
@Tank2042ManIt is less of an expertise and more of an experience of being on the receiving end of meta rifles on right hands.
I would also say on the receiving end of SMGs but they are patching them to fire less rifle-accurate.
- @UP_Hawxxeye Lack of a suppression mechanic on LMGs makes them almost pointless.
I have numerous occasions where I am shooting an enemy at range and even though some shots are hitting, they have time to kill me with well aimed shoots.

This has also been the LMG experience for me in 2042 and that is why I made this topic, wondering what is the intended role of the LMG in the context of 2042
@Bolvard I absolutely got killed by assault rifles more than Avancys users all this time. When using the Avancys I had to be Mackay to sort of counter the horrendous ADS strafe speed it has due to being an LMG. It is common knowledge that the less you move the more likely it is that someone will get a good shot at you.
