Epic Games continues to add new weapons to Fortnite on a very regular basis - or at least re-release a few. Yesterday, the publisher added to the Battle Royale mode the famous Light Machine Gun , also called LMG by connoisseurs. This rather tough weapon (we always wonder why it is categorized as a light weapon) caused a lot of ink to flow because Epic had published a challenge concerning it last week... a week before its release in game!
However, this weapon is considered by many to be one of the very best of the season, so it can always be interesting to know a little more about it.
Where can I find an LMG?
The new LMG light machine gun has joined the basic Battle Royale weapon set. In other words, it can be found absolutely anywhere; by searching chests or on the floor. It can be found from the Common rarity rank.
LMG Machine Gun Stats
- Damage to players: 23 / 24 / 25 / 26 / 28
- Magazine size: 60
- Rate of fire: 7
- Cooldown: 4.4s / 4.2s / 4s / 3.8s / 3.6s
How strong is the light machine gun?
This new LMG excels at close to medium range. It does not suffer from too much recoil, and above all has a 60-bullet magazine (it's more than a P90). In Battle Royale with constructions, we will especially appreciate its ability to spam opposing structures, or to carry out cover fire.
