This is an XM3325 LMG build that improves mostly on the gun's recoil control while also making adjustments to ADS speed and movement speed.

The Gunfighter setup of this build uses the Prestige Attachment Stable Range Turret Laser (MFS Motion Strike Laser), making the weapon accurate in hipfire and viable for hipfire run-and-gun styles. If you do not have this attachment yet, you can attach the Handling Laser instead for more ADS and Sprint to Fire Speed.

ⓘ 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.

The XM325 LMG is more oriented towards close-quarters combat due to its high fire rate and recoil. You can opt for some extra speed in such situations with Enforcer perks like Lightweight and Dexterity. You can also pick up Strategist perks for some team support or quality-of-life features like Fast Hands (for fast weapon swaps and reloads if you are not using belt-fed magazines).
