The LMG's single-target damage output dramatically improves against larger targets such as centipedes since the accuracy bonus from their body size mostly counters the LMG's low base accuracy, instead being much closer to that of the charge rifle's in these situations.

The LMG is also very cumbersome, in fact being the second heaviest player-usable ranged weapon after the minigun. It isn't advisable to give inexperienced shooters an LMG though due to the moderate delta between close and short accuracy, as well as the LMG's fairly long warmup/cooldown cycle better choices would include machine pistols, heavy SMGs and chain shotguns. The LMG is the most powerful overall weapon that is capable of staggering humans. Range is good for a multi-shot firearm, and the LMG's stopping power is also high enough to stagger humans, lancers and scythers. Single-shot damage output is acceptable, though not brilliant compared to other multi-shot firearms the LMG's consistently on par with single-shot pump shotgun in this area, or worse than the heavy SMG up to short range and taking point beyond that. The LMG is somewhat of an entry-level crowd-controlling weapon owing to its poor accuracy combined with its relatively long 6-shot burst and high raw DPS. LMGs can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following raider kinds: A crafting skill of at least 6 is required. LMGs can be crafted at a machining table once the gas operation research has been completed from 75 Steel, 5 Component and 34,000 ticks ( 9.44 mins) of work.
