The Pulemyot 762 has a very easy and simple recoil to control for a rapid firing Light Machine Gun. You can empty a whole ammunition belt without experiencing the gun kicking up too much, making it the best LMG to use when defending objectives against waves of enemies.

How to Use Light Machine Guns

Best Used When Defending Key Positions

Light Machine Guns are great at holding down defensive key positions, particularly in game modes like Domination and Search and Destroy, where both game modes require you to defend objectives.

This is due to the fact that LMGs have a tremendous firing rate paired along with an extremely high ammo count, allowing you to mow down and shred through hordes of enemy operators coming your way.
