This a MK.78 LMG build that improves ADS speed and movement speed for the standard setup. In the Gunfighter setup, recoil control is also improved on top of these stats, and uses the Prestige Attachment Belt Fed Magazine+ (MFS Heatshield Belt Fed) for a large ammo pool. This attachment also uses an cooldown system instead of reloads.

If you do not have the Prestige Attachment yet, you can use any of the magazine attachments available. The 65 Round Fast Mag can be suggested for more ADS speed, or 100 Round Extended Mag for more ammo capacity with little drawbacks.

ⓘ Feel free to adjust your perks and equipment according to your preference.

You can opt for the Gunfighter Wildcard to use up to 8 attachments.

LMGS can use some mobility support, so it's fine to pick up Enforcer perks like Lightweight and Dexterity. Some Strategist perks like Fast Hands are good to include for team support, with Fast Hands still being good also on its own for the increased reload speed if you're using a non-belt fed magazine.
