This 556 Icarus loadout is extremely aggressive and takes advantage of the gun's high mobility. Despite being an LMG, it's fairly lightweight and can be used like an AR. You'll want to be at the front of combat when using this since you'll most likely be providing the most firepower.
This loadout's attachments further heighten its mobility without sacrificing its damage. The weapon's handling and recoil control are also further improved, allowing you to spray your weapon at will. You won't need to use any optics since the base iron sights are already effective and a quick ADS speed is needed for constant fighting.
Battle Hardened and Double Time perks are a great combo to let you move freely through the map. Fast Hands will be the most important perk to have since you'll be getting into lots of engagements. A quick reload speed is vital if you want to survive multiple enemies. Since you'll always be on the offense, Quick Fix will increase your survivability, turning you into a tank.
