Heavy machinegun

The Heavy machinegun is theoretically the most powerful machinegun, but it requires care to use well. The second or so it takes for the barrel to spin up means that you can no longer feather the trigger to make precise shots at long range. To compensate, the weapon can shred fronts of approaching enemies and it has a very large magazine size. The bullets also ricochet off walls, making it lethal in confined spaces and allowing you to take out enemies you can't see.

This gun is a beast, but you'll need some picked-up weapons to cover its deficiency at handling foes from a long way away, and to take down tough enemies like bricks.

Tips

 * Great for crowd control
 * The reload time is much longer than smaller machineguns
 * Skilled players can use ricochets to their advantage
