The bullet spread doesn't tighten, so it's highly inaccurate. I think they should just make it a different fully variant same stats, I'd use it 4000rpm with 15.8 Dmg. It'd have a different usage with a much lower damage per clip not as good as defending because of how fast you'll burn through ammo but better dps for smaller engagements needs much more reloading.

I am know for my use of it all the time, but it is the hardest HMG to operate in the game. Especially now with the frame rate/movement changes and bad aiming.

With dust in its current form i would not suggest picking it up the fact that people move faster (optical change because of the performance improvements) and strafe speeds are now ridiculous to try and track. It is now way way harder to use. prob the worst build of the game to try and pick it up as a weapon.

You also chew through a ton of ammo and will need nanohives in order to play it effectively. I Suggest waiting for changes to come down the pipe to make it viable again.

Do i still have success with it? Yeah but I have been using it since the game came out, so im the last lion of a near extinct race, so yeah i don't doubt myself when i say in the the best with it.

also it completely changes the play style for the heavy and the HMG. you have to move act and fight completely dif from the other 2 HMG's so swapping back and forth between the std and the burst is gonna be hard as hell to do without getting yourself killed all the time.
